We first explore how and why there's been a recent uptick in "anti-woke" personalities online and how Trump's presidency played a major role in setting the stage for catapulting these influencers into the mainstream. We then look at how they make money, how their business model differs from the more "traditional" scams we see from influencers, and finally, we look at why scammers/grifters are so prevalent in the influencer space.

While this is not necessarily our conclusion or opinion, the internet has erupted with discourse over the past few months about how Twitch is destroying itself from the inside out. We explore Twitch's estimated costs and revenue model, the declining creator and user experiences, and how two of the platform's biggest competitors could make Twitch obsolete in a number of years.

We also dive into The Machine as well as the misogyny, sexual assault, and history of racism at the Univeristy of Alabama that the documentary failed to cover. And of course, we share all of our honest opinions.

It all kicked off when NYC-based fashion designer Rachel Ellenbogen went viral on TikTok this week after sharing a beaded embroidery design she turned into a small purse. According to Rachel’s video, she spent between 15-17 hours designing and creating the purse. She listed it for sale at $990 USD based on the price of materials and her labour involved. Despite receiving a lot of love for her creation, her comment section has also been flooded with complaints about the “high” price of the purse, with some calling it an “injustice” to charge that much money for a purse amid a cost of living crisis. Others claim they could buy a similar style of purse from fast fashion retailers for much less. This has sparked intense debate over TikTok's fast fashion culture, consumer entitlement, and how little we really understand about art.
