I was looking at the BITE model of mind control [1] and I can see that a lot of social interactions in life can become cult-like, without the intention of making them such. For example, from early on, parents can be protective to the point where indivudial thinking is not really allowed. I have participated in sports and communities with similar dynamics. There should be some kind of level system for cults to identify their severity. On the other hand, looking at the "symptoms" the model presents could be a lot like looking at health symptoms online - everything looks like cancer.
