On this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast with host Ginny Yurich, Ginny sits down with Fortesa Latifi to talk about her fascinating and deeply nuanced book Like, Follow, Subscribe: Influencer Kids and the Cost of a Childhood Online. This conversation stays with you because it refuses easy answers. Together, they explore how sharing family life online can create income, flexibility, and opportunity for parents while also raising real questions about privacy, consent, and what it means for a child to grow up in front of an audience. Fortesa brings thoughtful reporting and real stories from both parents and kids, and instead of rushing to judgment, this episode leans into the tension. It’s an honest, layered look at a world we’re all participating in, whether we realize it or not—and one that may change how you see the content you scroll past every day.
