A form of Digitallighting that uses accusations of fraud, greed, or “grifting” to make the target doubt their own integrity. The perpetrator repeatedly insinuates that the target is running a scam, that they know their work is worthless, or that they are cynically manipulating others. Over time, the target may begin to question their own motives, wondering if they really are exploiting people. Conlighting is especially damaging to activists and practitioners who rely on public trust, as it attacks the foundation of their work.
