additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Combines ironic self-reference, listicle authority, and platform-native voice to create the impression of cultural diagnosis. It makes the stylistic saturation feel like an urgent, AI-specific phenomenon—while offering no evidence that these formats are either newly invented or functionally different from pre-AI rhetorical devices, creating tension between the diagnostic confidence and the absence of historical or empirical grounding.
