Ep 161: Do You Even TikTok, Bro?

A Meta employee has entered the chat. This is Ukraine native Tommy Petrov, Creative Director at Meta (formerly Creative Dir. at Snapchat) who's also keen on the NFT space and shares his insightful thoughts on: social media trends, news consumption, the ADD of it all, China's TikTok versus the good ol' USA's, US content vs global content, Trump's social media platform, app shelf lives, are we at the point of no return, are memes the future, are Americans just dumb, fat, and lazy? As a Ukrainian he weighs in on celebs' involvement in the war, Zelensky's screen acting charisma, and yes, his Vogue cover. Tommy's also an Emmy-voting member of Academy of Television Arts & Sciences so we share our experience at said awards shows -- ironically, the great equalizer once inside.
