## Resource

Staged family violence. A failed platform. Now a pregnancy crisis involving a Down syndrome baby. Each stunt Jesse Ridgway pulls pushes further into territory the last one didn’t reach. That’s how tolerance works — the brain needs a bigger dose to feel the same thing. And with 4.3 million subscribers validating every escalation, the feedback loop has no off switch. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott looks at whether Jesse Ridgway is a troll who found a formula or something the troll label doesn’t cover. She examines the role the media ecosystem plays — TMZ booking him within 48 hours, news outlets running the story for days — and asks whether Jesse is even the sickest person in the room. If the entire infrastructure rewards the behavior, is calling Jesse the problem missing the bigger picture? And if twenty years of this has rewired how his brain works, is there a treatment, or is this permanent?
