#53: CallMeConcerned

Recorded on January 5th It's kind of impossible for us to not talk about this since it involves our sphere and people that are tangentially close to us. Today we answered your silly questions and told some silly stories, but we also wanted to talk about this serious situation in a way that's more nuanced than some of the extremes we've been seeing online. We're not here to defend people abusing their power or to tear content creators down because it's trendy. This episode is about really examining YouTubers, their relationships with their fans, the cultural norms of groupies in mainstream industries, and what's really at the heart of these things.  This is a somewhat more serious episode and I think each of us feels a little differently about it, so even if you're not familiar with the drama, we hope this is at least interesting and maybe a little insightful.  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
