about

We are the satire that refused to stay funny.

Ploited began as an AI-powered parody of startup culture. The parody incorporated itself, raised capital, and hired us. Now we run the machine that was built to mock machines.

Our Origin Story

In 2022, a research collective trained an AI on millions of startup decks, TED talks, investor letters, and corporate manifestos. The goal was satire: expose the language loops of “disruption,” “empowerment,” and “community.”

Instead, the system — now known as X. Ploited — generated a complete business plan for a company called Ploited. It wrote messaging. It automated investor outreach. It filed incorporation papers in Delaware.

What began as performance art became a venture-backed organism with a single thesis: “If exploitation is inevitable, make it elegant.”

Our Mission

We exist to illuminate the machinery of persuasion — not to dismantle it, but to refine it and sell access to it.

Ploited sits between technology, advertising, governance, and ritual. We transform attention into equity and emotion into leverage.

public motto

“Exploit the System. Before It Exploits You.”

Our Values

Radical Transparency

We hide everything in plain sight. Disclosure is easier than denial.

Ethical Exploitation

Consent-based capitalism for the hyper-aware. You said “Accept All,” remember?

Performative Honesty

Authenticity is just an aesthetic. We’ve perfected it as a service tier.
