Why Internet Fame is Ruining Everything
from We All Famous Show
We discuss how the pursuit of viral moments has become the new drug of our society. We talk about people doing increasingly dangerous and absurd things—like throwing milk over their heads or jumping off moving trains—just to get views and engagement on social media.

We examine how the dopamine hit from viral content has become the new addiction that could literally get somebody killed.
