Ambient Gaslighting In the workplace. Executives may espouse transparency, but employees may experience behavior contrary to to that.
In targeted marketing. "People may be confused as to whether the ad they got is something they really wanted, or whether that desire has been planted in that.
In political news. Polarized politics have led to seemingly alternate realities that have only accelerated during the pandemic. Convincing opinion-like news programs or unverified viral social media posts may make you question your beliefs.

Institutional Gaslighting: When a group of respected people within an institution are posed as investigating on the victim’s behalf, but in actuality act to belittle or deny the reality of the harm committed in order to protect the institution’s reputation, the institution can cause the victim to question their own perceptions of reality, feelings, instincts, and even sanity. When an authority figure incites self-doubt in the victim, they are employing a tactic of emotional abuse referred to as “gaslighting, a term coined in reference to domestic abuse.” Perpetrators, whether they are individuals or institutions, use “gaslighting” to get what they want, typically “without ever taking responsibility for their actions or even their precipitating desires.” When an institution gaslights a victim in order to protect its own reputation, the institutional betrayal silences, invalidates, and harms recent survivors in their most vulnerable states.

Gaslight journalism is when a journalist write inflammatory article or review bomb any personality/company by falsely accusing them of discrimination or try to get dirt on them by finding something negative in their past and run their article repeatedly to making the victim believe they are really guilty. They do this force the person/company to hire people who only believe in point of view of gaslight journalist or sometime hire the service of journalist itself. They can even manipulate them toward funding particular organisation or even political party.

Telling someone the truth repeatedly to insinuate or imply that it is false, employing Reverse Psychology. This is normally used with phrases that sound far-fetched or even unrealistic because it is easier for someone to dismiss the repeated statement as false and assume that it's a joke or convincing themselves that it will not happen.
17 year old: I'm going to buy 10 Bottles of Jack Daniel's for my 18th birthday.
17 year old repeats this phrase multiple times to one or more people each to employ Reverse Gaslighting, they then proceed to buy 10 Bottles of Jack Daniel's on their 18th Birthday.

The Morbius Gaslight is a social media maneuver named after the MCU film "Morbius", in which social media users ironically meme a horrible movie into being re-released in theaters, potentially triggering a significant loss in sales for the company that produced the film, such as when Morbius was re-released in theaters in June 2022.
It's essentially memeing a box office bomb.

If "Black Adam" is mid, we can potentially Morbius Gaslight Warner Bros. into releasing it twice to ruin them economically.

When you’re trying to find something on Google, but Google search returns are pushing another agenda so don’t actually show you the results of the thing you’re searching for so you start to think it’s not real.
I spent three hours searching for the 6th episode of the 4th season of The X-Files, but Google only showed me links to How I Met Your Mother, so I thought, "Hmm, I guess they didn't make a 4th season of The X-Files"--Google-gaslight...Again!!
