This makes me think of the YouTube channels that post "uplifting videos of animals being saved" but which are actually putting those animals in those situations, literally abusing and sometimes killing them for views. It's abhorrent and disgusting.

Great deep dive. Really good insight on our consumption of social media and it's ripple effects

This episode gave me flashbacks to some creepy old dude taking pictures of my wife and me at the optometrists office. I went around him, confirmed he had a picture of the two of us on his screen and he was about to send it to someone else, and then loudly confronted him. Staff got involved and made him delete it. I still wonder what he was about to do with it.
People are creepy and upsetting sometimes.

Unfortunately. Pretty sure I know what podcast they’re referring to and I’m surprised those dudes stopped spewing racism and misogyny long enough to review an all-male podcast, but I guess they did. 🙄

If the next outro isn't the sexy time AI skeptics creed, I'm giving my money to Knowledge Fight 😂

There's a podcast that... reviews other podcasts?
Talk about a waste of time.

God dammit. I had to stifle a guffaw around my coworkers during that intro.
Edit: I couldn't stifle it on the outro. LOLOLOL.
