There is no conspiracy that the couple chose a hybrid name; there is a conspiracy of omission that the media refuses to report on the everyday struggles of the same audience that devours celebrity gossip with voracious appetite.

Accountability, then, lies with the platforms that prioritize spectacle over substance. Will they keep a newborn’s name as headline while the nation’s real crises remain footnotes, or will they finally give ordinary people the space they deserve?
