In this week's episode, I explore the rise and (inevitable) fall of the commentary genre. I cover the origins of this content, the rise of this genre on YouTube, and why I believe we're about to see its downfall. I look at how the rise of anti-intellectualism, a decline in media literacy, and the death of the monoculture— all amplified by the introduction of TikTok— will likely be the main reasons for the downfall of commentary content.

In this week's episode, I explore the very dark consequences of putting children online. I specifically focus on children whose parents post on their behalf— turning them into 'child influencers.' I look at how posting content of minors online relinquishes control of their image & how that can end up in the wrong hands. I finish by diving into the laws in both the U.S. and Australia that do or do not protect children on social media.

This week's episode is a re-edited rerun of a season 3 episode that is still very much relevant today where we explore why Gen Z pursues privacy online. I have added a new intro and shared some tea in the update section, so make sure to listen.  In this episode, Jordyn Christensen and I look at why Gen Z is starting to seek more privacy and anonymity online. We explore the concept of the personal brand from a Gen Z lens, the new dangers youth face online, and several factors that have contributed to this generation choosing to be more private than their Millennial counterparts. We also look at some Gen Z creators who have recently taken a step back from social media (like Emma Chamberlain), and consider both the benefits and the risks of internet users becoming increasingly anonymous.  Find our podcast YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18HclY7Tt5-1e3Z-MEP7Jg  Subscribe to our weekly Substack: https://centennialworld.substack.com/  Join our Geneva home: https://links.geneva.com/invite/7eb23525-9259-4d59-95e3-b9edd35861a5  Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/infinitescrollpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/centennialbeauty/  Follow our publication: https://www.instagram.com/centennialworld/  Follow Lauren on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurenmeisner_/

Bear with me as I figure out this new narrative, editing, and production style. It was important to me that I return with a more polished product for these solo deep dives and I hope you'll stick with me while I navigate this new norm. This episode was short and sweet to help me figure out the process. In this week's episode, I explore the concept of "flop influencers" and what career longevity realistically looks like for social media stars. I look at some examples like Brooklynne Webb, Axel Webb, Brittany Broski, Jason Nash, and Gabbie Hanna, and compare how TikTok fame differs from YouTube fame when it comes to "making it" as a career creator.

In this week's episode, we explore the concept of shadowbanning. From politicians to creators, the term is used to explain or excuse an alleged lack of engagement on content or accounts. However, this is also increasingly hard to define or prove. So this week, we look at what shadowbanning is and how it has evolved over the years before diving into some of the most prominent examples of shadowbanning and the ethical implications of this moderation practice. We finish by aiming to answer the question: is shadowbanning a genuine censorship problem for Big Tech, or is it all just a conspiracy theory made up by disgruntled users?

In this week’s episode, we explore the rise and possible demise of TikTok beauty star Mikayla Nogueira with the help of creator, podcaster, and trend forecaster Coco Mocoe! We look at Mikayla’s astronomical rise to success and why she resonated so strongly with audiences, before looking at the controversies and backlash she has faced during her tenure as a top creator, including the most recent controversy surrounding her P. Louise product collaboration. We finish by exploring what has gone wrong for Mikayla, where she goes from here, if her circumstances are simply symptomatic of the TikTok era of creators, and if she can regain audience trust online to move forward with her career.  Find Ahead of the Curve with Coco Mocoe here: https://open.spotify.com/show/3WMVk1vVWPwjTDuvCR45KJ Find our podcast YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18HclY7Tt5-1e3Z-MEP7Jg  Subscribe to our weekly Substack: https://centennialworld.substack.com/  Join our Geneva home: https://links.geneva.com/invite/7eb23525-9259-4d59-95e3-b9edd35861a5  Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/infinitescrollpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/centennialbeauty/  Follow our publication: https://www.instagram.com/centennialworld/  Follow Lauren on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurenmeisner_/  Follow Jordy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordyn_christensen/  Timestamps: 3:06 Intro + who is Mikayla Nogueira 4:57 Mikayla’s career history 12:55 "Try being an influencer for a day" 19:05  Jaclyn Hill IG comments 27:06 Waitress story 33:47 Lash-gate 44:24 Wedding drama 52:36 P.

Find long term skincare solutions, build lasting routines and shop mindfully with 23% off The Ordinary all month: https://theordinary.com/en-au In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the beauty trend cycle as it relates to the ‘clean girl aesthetic’ and exploring why it seems this trend is on its way out sooner rather than later. Over the past few months, women on TikTok have started to push back against the 'clean girl aesthetic'– claiming the lifestyle is unrealistic and the style is unflattering on most people. This, along with predictions from trend reporters and stylistic choices from new fashion and beauty campaigns, indicates that 'clean girl' is headed toward its demise. So we’ll first cover how the 'clean girl aesthetic' became so popular, why it’s always been controversial, and finish by exploring why we think this trend is on the way out and what’s next for beauty.

In this week’s episode, we explore the evolution of Emma Chamberlain and why her audience is now saying they’ve started to outgrow her. In recent weeks, TikTok and YouTube have been flooded with videos from Emma’s fans criticising some recent episodes of her podcast, 'Anything Goes', and saying they feel like Emma’s takes are becoming increasingly out of touch. This criticism came to a head in late October after a TikTok went viral saying that Emma should go to college to develop her critical thinking skills– sparking a debate amongst her fans about the creator’s long-standing reputation as Gen Z’s “relatable” influencer.
