025 | Toxicity in the YouTube space
I stumbled upon some awful "influencer gossip" forums and have a few things to say. Reading through those threads makes me anxious, but I wanted to analyze this weird phenomenon of bitter people taking the time to form entire discussions centered around picking apart the lives of people on the internet (people who are often CHILDREN, mind you!). Here are the timestamps! life update & plans for the future of this podcast (0:31) my positive experience with the internet (so far) (20:38) “selling out”, growing quickly on youtube & the struggles of a having big following (25:22) what influencers share online is not their full reality (30:26) why it’s hard to avoid “repetitive content” (33:39) sharing a vulnerable side of yourself online (35:14) influencers & privacy (36:54) no one knows what a “perfect life” is (40:30) To find links to everything we mentioned, and to sign up for weekly podcast shownotes in your inbox, click here.
