I really think literally. Maybe not these arsonists, but hollywood, politicians , mainstream media definitely. Little that they do is of their own free will.
I've wondered if it could be an analogy to selling your likeness. They have so much deepfake technology these days, maybe if you "sold your soul" it could be like they show you on TV saying anything they want you to say through editing.
I think that is going to happen to people without their consent. While people are fighting for survival working 8-12 hours per day, an AI can wreak havoc 24/7 impersonating/defaming them. Damaging their relationships, future social credit score, landing them in jail for "hate speech"

Souls for Satan, so easily bought
Do you think they literally sell their soul or is it some kind of metaphor?
