Doja Cat & The Normalisation Of Toxic Fandoms

In this week’s episode, we dive into Doja Cat threatening to quit music after Paraguayan fans cyberbullied her for not showing their country enough love. We explore the concept of fandoms and the toxic expectations these fandoms place on their favourite personalities or entitites. We look at the difference between a fan and someone who's part of fandom, what makes fandoms turn toxic, and the role social media plays in perpetuating a sense of entitlement in fandoms. We also dive into why some fans gatekeep and how this gatekeeping is often used as an excuse for people to act on their racist, misogynistic, sexist, and derogatory beliefs.

The Problem With Celebrity Plastic Surgery Analysis Content

In this week's episode, we’re diving into the rise of celebrity plastic surgery analysis content and accounts. In recent months we’ve seen a massive uptick in interest for this type of content across TikTok and YouTube, with several accounts going viral– both from average people and from plastic surgeons themselves. We look at what triggered this new trend, the influence the YouTube beauty community has had on its rise, the pros and cons of this type of content, and the ethics around creators who capitalise on making this content, both from a views perspective and a monetary perspective.

Why We Still Care About Anna Delvey: Inventing Anna Review

Use code RENEGADE for 20% off SPKD Blends: https://www.spkdblends.com/

In this week's episode, we bring you all our opinions on the new mini-series adaptation of the Anna Delvey story, Inventing Anna. We explore what was real, what was fake, and what left us utterly confused. We share our thoughts centering the show around Vivian Kent, the dramatisation of an already-interesting case, and the criticism suggesting the series glorified Anna's crimes.

Inventing Anna is a Netflix & Shondaland miniseries based on a New York Magazine investigative piece covering the life of fake German heiress Anna Sorokin AKA Anna Delvey who became notorious for scamming New York’s elite. Anna is played by Julia Garner and the series follows a journalist named Vivian Kent, played by Anna Chlumsky, who is trying to redeem her career by profiling Anna’s story and scams.

The Problem With TikTok's "Clean Girl" Aesthetic

In this week's episode, we explore the rise of the "clean girl" aesthetic that's recently taken off on TikTok. We discuss the trend's origin and look at the similarities between "clean girl" and other aspirational wellness and beauty trends like "that girl" "main character energy" and "off duty model". We dive into the trend's racist, classist, and elitist roots and look at how the nature of TikTok as a platform has contributed to how toxic the "clean girl" aesthetic has become.

Travis Scott, Kylie Jenner & Astroworld: When Hype Culture Turns Deadly

We look at the culture Travis Scott has fostered amongst his fanbase, the violent history of his concerts, and how he exploits his parasocial relationship with fans for hype.

And what changes to celebrity and influencer culture need to be made to protect fans?

Is Trisha Paytas Finally Being Cancelled?

In this week's episode, we explore Trisha Paytas' latest cancellation and why it feels different from the countless other times they have been "cancelled." We look at the role Frenemies played in redeeming Trisha's image and how that redemption arc has made this latest scandal worse, while also questioning the role digital culture reporting (like our brand!) has played in amplifying problematic figures like Trisha. We end with our thoughts on if Trisha can actually ever be cancelled, or if Trisha really is "uncancellable".

"Gaslight", "Narcissist" & "Sociopath": How Influencers Are Weaponising Clinical Terms For Clicks

In this week's episode, we look at how influencers are becoming increasingly comfortable with placing psychiatric labels on each other like "gaslighter", "narcissistic" and "sociopath" to drum up drama and win fights. We look at how these labels have transcended the field of psychiatry into internet culture and mainstream vocabulary while examining the implications of this shift on the stigmatisation of mental health. Finally, we consider why influencers are so quick to use these "buzzwords" despite the backlash and share some solutions to this rising issue.

Emma Chamberlain & The *Realistic* Longevity Of A YouTube Career

In this week's episode, we explore Emma Chamberlain's decision to take an indefinite break from YouTube as she chooses to nurture her mental health. We look at the longevity and sustainability of a YouTube career and aim to answer the following questions: Do the benefits of being a successful creator outweigh the drawbacks of living your life in the public eye with little-to-no career progression and a lack of structure in your work environment? What happens when your success plateaus and you're deemed "irrelevant"? And can a career on YouTube really be the endgame?

The BBL Effect: How TikTok Is Fuelling Obsession With Deadly Plastic Surgery

In this week's episode we dive into the latest beauty trend to sweep TikTok: Brazilian butt lifts AKA 'BBL'. We cover what exactly is a BBL, how this procedure rose in popularity, the deadly impact it has on women around the world, and how TikTok has played a major role in glorifying it. We also share our opinions on whether or not plastic surgery of any type can be considered "feminist" when women are going under the knife in hopes of achieving the beauty standard— a standard determined by the male gaze.

What Is The Victoria Paris Effect?

In this week's episode, we explore 'The Victoria Paris Effect.' A term coined by writer Kate Lindsay, 'The Victoria Paris Effect' speaks to the astronomical growth experienced by a new wave of TikTok vloggers who fit into the same mold— thin, white, pretty girls living in New York City that post off-the-cuff short-form vlogs multiple times a day. We share our theories on why TikTok is prioritising this type of content and consider what the algorithm is telling us about who is aspirational vs. who is relatable. We also look at other creators who have experienced similar phenomenons on different platforms such as Emma Chamberlain.

Nikki Phillippi's Problematic Behaviour: A Timeline

In this week's episode, we're covering Nikki Phillippi and her husband Dan's history of problematic behaviour on YouTube over the years. Last week, the couple faced severe backlash when they revealed to Nikki’s 1.3 million subscribers that they chose to euthanize their 9-year-old dog, Bowser, after he got aggressive with their son despite refusing to train him. Though many are shocked and disgusted, those who have followed the couple were not entirely surprised. Since making her YouTube debut back in 2010, Nikki has spent years ignoring concerns from fans who feel the influencer uses her platform to spread controversial messages to her millions of followers.

We look at whether demonetization *actually* punishes the creator or if it's simply a PR move for YouTube, and explore if platforms should be responsible for moderating/censoring content if the creator has not yet faced legal ramifications.

Anti-MLM Deep Dive: Why They're Predatory & How Much Money You'll Actually Make

Hey hun! We have an amazing opportunity for you this week! All you have to do is listen to this podcast, message all your friends about it, and pay us a small new listener fee of your firstborn child! Then you'll be well on your way to reaching total #GirlBoss status!

JKs! (Kind of...)

In this week's episode, we deep dive into MLMs, also known as network marketing businesses, after TikTok became the first social media platform to ban MLM-related content in December. We explain what an MLM is, the difference between an MLM and a pyramid scheme (hint: not much), and why they're controversial. We look at the predatory nature of these companies, the *actual* income disclosure statements from some of these businesses, and how social media has changed the MLM industry for better and worse.

Why Are Creators Leaving YouTube? Was 2020 The Final Straw?

In this week's episode, we discuss the seemingly mass exodus of creators from YouTube and what it means for the platform that has dominated social media and entertainment for a decade. Has it become too much of a breeding ground for drama? Is the backlash against 'big tech' affecting our interactions with the platform? Is YouTube to blame for driving creators away? Or are creators really just ready for a career change?

Why Can't Tony Lopez, Armie Hammer & Alexander Wang Keep It In Their Pants?

In this week's episode, we're looking at the accusations of sexual assault against Tony Lopez, Armie Hammer, and Alexander Wang and aim to answer the question: Why are so many famous men predatory? Are more famous men predators or are sexual predators actually just everywhere? Does using social media as a tool to speak out actually work or does it minimise the accusation when it comes from an anonymous account? And why are we so worried about ruining the lives of accused men instead of believing the victims?

Let's Talk About Olivia Jade On Red Table Talk

In this week's episode we dissect Olivia Jade's interview on Red Table Talk...and of course, the Internet's opinions on the situation. Why do we think she chose Red Table Talk as the place to tell her story? Did the interview focus too much on Olivia's white privilege rather than her wealthy privilege? Did the interview actually give us the answers we wanted? And why, as a concept, we can't stand celebrities interviewing other celebrities.

Gabi DeMartino Ruined Celebrity Finstas For Everyone

In this week's episode, we talk about YouTuber Gabi DeMartino getting deplatformed off OnlyFans after she sold a sexualised video of herself as a child under false pretenses. We explore the consequences of celebrities and influencers using these alternative platforms as a "finsta" to connect on a deeper level with their audiences and how changing algorithms on YouTube and Instagram have become a catalyst for greed.

Amanda Ensing, Trump & Influencing Politics

In this week's episode, we dive into Amanda Ensing's controversial announcement that she voted for Trump and explore both sides of the coin when it comes to celebrity and influencer political endorsements. Do celebrity endorsements actually work when it comes to politics? Are fans owed the right to know who their "fave" is voting for? We name and shame public figures who choose to stay silent on politics and social justice, but what’s the flip side when they have dangerous uninformed opinions?

Do Gen-Z Have Any Role Models Left?

In this week's episode, we explore the concept of "role models" in the digital age. We explore how social media has changed who and what constitutes a good "role model" with audience input and our own opinions. What makes a good role model now? Has social media moved the goal posts? Can we still expect public figures to be role models if their every move is watched online? Should we give them more grace? And ultimately, do Gen-Z even have any unproblematic role models left?

Is it unfair for creators to put their interpersonal drama on their audiences? Or is it necessary for audiences to be informed when the allegations are serious offenses? Plus, what do audiences deserve then from influencers if we get dragged in?

Estée Laundry: Pros & Cons Of New Gen Industry Watchdogs

In this week's episode, we dive into the pros and cons of industry watchdog accounts like Diet Prada and Estée Laundry. We give contextual background on each account and explore their biggest wins, their major slip-ups, and the impact they've had on the fashion and beauty industries. Have we put too much power in the hands of these viral accounts when we don’t know who’s behind them? When do they cross the line from pro-consumer to pro-cancel culture? And ultimately, do we think they cause more harm than good?

Why Hasn't Addison Rae's Item Beauty Sold Out?

In this week's episode, we look at brand collaborations with TikTok's biggest stars — like Charli and Dixie D'Amelio, Addison Rae, and Lil Huddy — and why they haven't sold out. We explore four theories on why TikTok stars don't sell as much product as their YouTube and Instagram counterparts and ultimately aim to answer the question: Are TikTok stars actually as influential as we think they are when it comes to moving product?

We share our opinions on the public's overwhelmingly positive response to the documentary and discuss some major aspects of Paris' career that the director failed to address, like the star' history of racism, victim-blaming, homophobic slurs, and anti-semitism. As fans, can we honestly say we misunderstood Paris Hilton? Or is this documentary just another vanity project to bring her back into relevancy?

We Need To Talk About The Double Standard For Leaked Nudes

In this week's episode, we dive into the public response to Chris Evans accidentally leaking his own nudes. While Twitter users flooded timelines and drowned out hashtags to protect the actor from public embarrassment, this response highlights a major disparity between how we treat female sexuality vs male sexuality. We explore the double standard, how this will affect his career, and why we don't keep the same energy for female stars.

Glossier's Fall From Grace: Outta The Gloss Saga Explained

This week we break down the entire Glossier is "cancelled" saga. We explain the accusations made by Outta The Gloss — the Instagram account created by former Glossier retail employees detailing their negative experiences working for the brand as BIPOC — how Emily Weiss and Glossier have responded, and why people feel the response is insufficient. Are these just the growing pains of being a startup? Can we actually call Glossier a feminist brand if it's not intersectional? Is Glossier actually as progressive as it pretends to be?

WTF Will We Do If TikTok Gets Banned?

In this week's episode, we breakdown Trump's threat to ban TikTok and explore what a ban would mean for both influencers and brands. We also look at the issues raised during this week's Big Tech hearing and how this figurative war against social media is affecting the influencer industry. If Trump bans TikTok, what are the options? Is it naive for influencers to rely on social media for their career? Should brands be spending on influencer marketing at such a volatile time? Can anyone or any platform actually remain relevant for decades online?

#ChallengeAccepted: The Problem With Viral Instagram Challenges

This week we dive into the #challengeaccepted black and white photo trend supporting "women's empowerment" and explore both the pros and cons of viral Instagram challenges. We look at the differences between how Millennials vs. Gen-Z respond to viral challenges and pose some very tough questions: Are social media posts just performative activism? Does the intention behind activism really matter if the end result is positive? When does performative activism become detrimental? And can altruism ever really be selfless?

Why We Deserved More From Jeffree Star's Apology

In this week's episode, we chat influencer apology videos. We dissect everything wrong with Jeffree Star's "apology" for his involvement in 'Bye Sister.' Are influencer apologies just a form of manipulation? Do they ever make anything better? Is there a right way to apologise and how do we judge growth, post an apology?

Influencer Beauty Brands & Their Consequences

In this week's episode, we explore the world of influencer beauty brands and why consumers keep purchasing them despite the controversies, quality issues, and more. Are influencers qualified to launch a brand? Do influencer brands de-legitimise the beauty industry? How do we respond to influencer brands vs. faceless brands? And how does having an influencer at the helm of a brand impact its reputation when scandals arise?
