TikTok didn’t just change social media — it rewired it. In this episode, Blake Webber breaks down why “it’s literally volume and consistency,” why the algorithm is a slot machine, and how fake confidence turned into real confidence. We talk going viral in 2026, why quality doesn’t matter the way it used to, LA influencer culture being dystopian, the creative process behind Alien Bro, AI as a tool not a threat, corporate greed, escaping society, and why “life is a joke” might be the only sane philosophy left.
