Light market

The market of selling yourself knowingly, unlike the commonly known dark where identities are stolen.

This refers to clout chasers purposely putting half nude photos then acting as if the world is taking advantage of them, when in fact its themselves.

“Dude you seen this girls onlyfans? “
“Yeah she on on the light market.”

Psychology of the Market

The study of how human psychology drives the collective behavior of buyers and sellers—the hopes, fears, and herd instincts that move prices, create bubbles, and trigger crashes. The market is often presented as rational, efficiently pricing all available information. Psychology reveals it's anything but: markets are driven by emotion (greed and fear), cognition (overconfidence and anchoring), and social dynamics (herding and fads). The psychology of the market explains why bubbles form (everyone convinced this time is different), why crashes happen (panic spreads like contagion), and why most investors underperform (they buy high out of greed, sell low out of fear). The market isn't a machine; it's a crowd, with all the psychology that implies.

Example: "He studied the psychology of the market after losing money in a crash he should have seen coming. The signs were there, but everyone was buying, and he got caught in the herd. Psychology explained it: not stupidity, but the overwhelming pull of collective behavior. The next time, he saw the herd forming and stayed out. Lonely but safe."

Sociology of the Market

The study of how markets function as social institutions—not just as mechanisms for exchange but as systems of relationships, meanings, and power. Markets are often presented as natural and inevitable, but the sociology reveals that they're socially constructed, culturally specific, and politically maintained. The sociology of the market examines how markets are created (through laws, norms, infrastructure), how they're stabilized (through trust, reputation, regulation), and how they shape social life (creating winners and losers, defining value, organizing relationships). It also examines alternatives to markets—gift economies, commons, state allocation—and the ongoing struggle over what should be for sale and what shouldn't. Markets are not destiny; they're choices, made and unmade by societies.

Example: "She studied the sociology of the market after a financial crisis, watching how the supposedly 'free' market was bailed out by the state, how the losses were socialized while profits remained private, how the market was revealed as a political creation, not a natural force. The sociology showed that markets were made by people and could be unmade by people—if they had the will."
