Season 1 Wrap

I thought one of our most interesting episodes was actually one of our first, which was Fuck the Algorithm with Chanel Contos.

And what I've seen since we launched that, and I'm not saying that this is due to us, but I think just kind of globally, people are starting to understand the algorithm and how it's harming us in a really negative way.

are a lot of people really pushing back on it.

I'm seeing so many more posts on social from different accounts saying, you know, we need regulation around it.

So I think that's really great.

And I love that she's kind of pioneered this with teachers consent.

And I really, really hope that we're seeing a lot more signatures on that petition.

I agree.

I think it's so easy for us even like to be involved in that conversation at that point a few months ago.

We forget that we were ahead of a lot of it.

Like Chanel was way ahead and then we're ahead and now people are catching up.

And it's so good.

It's really important that people understand that you do have some control over it because it can feel completely overwhelming or you don't care because you're using it to doom scroll anyway.

I think it's so important to just understand that.

If you want to do something about it, you can.

You can donkey or algo.

And I think since then we've seen our lawsuits against meta everywhere.

So we recorded this episode a couple of months ago and it seems like a lot has happened.

And I've been thinking about whether in the next season we go a little bit deeper on this because it feels like something that we could come back to.

The reactions from people have been interesting.

Because I think a lot of people have taken note, but it was not one of the topics where people would like chime in and talk about it.

But also maybe it was because

this was literally our first episode.

Yeah.

At that point, I think our audience were incels.
