There's a pattern we keep seeing play out: participants push boundaries not out of necessity, but for the rush of it—testing how far they can stretch the rules before facing consequences. It becomes about the thrill itself, the gamble of skirting the edge. But here's what always happens next: someone miscalculates, takes it too far, and the whole thing blows up. Then comes the shock, the confusion. "How did this happen? I didn't think it would go this far." Reality hits hard. The thing is, every cycle repeats this way. The warning signs are always there, but the adrenaline drowns them out. Understanding this pattern might just save you from being the next cautionary tale.
