Ep 60: The Algorithm Is Toxic - Pretty Little Opinions

What this episode covers

This week, CC and Kiah follow up on last episode’s descent into digital madness with a deeper dive into how social media algorithms might be emotionally manipulating us—and why it’s time to outsmart the machine. Then CC recounts her accidental plunge into Christian Nationalist TikTok, complete with a discovery of a covenant-based dating site that’s giving purity ring meets eHarmony. Yikes. The duo then side-eye the latest Tylenol-autism headline (spoiler: it’s giving pseudoscience fatigue) before cleansing their palates with a Housewives roundup: OC’s beefs and the return of Salt Lake City’s snowbound scandals. It’s chaos, clarity, and communion—served with a side of shade. Enjoy!
