Taylor Lorenz is a brilliant journalist who has been at the forefront of covering internet culture since the early days of Tumblr. Her book Extremely Online: The Untold Story of Fame, Influence, and Power on the Internet delves into the world of influencers, online communities, and the ways in which the internet shapes our behaviors and worldview. She joins Jeff this week to talk about hacking the algorithm, getting stuck in Tinder’s “Ugly Jail,” and why some people are trying to move away from finding love on dating apps. The two discuss the complicated nature of living an online life, offering nuanced discussions on topics that are often refused that treatment, like the controversy around those leaked Jonah Hill texts and the saga of “West Elm Caleb.” And honestly? So much more. This episode is packed full of fun, insightful discussions you won’t want to miss.
