Death by Online

WE ARE SO BACK! In episode 5, Natalie and Danika discuss Succession spoilers (and share some spoilers too - be warned). They talk about the difficulties of avoiding spoilers in the current internet landscape, and touch on the importance of Curating Your Spaces. They also dig into (with minor spoilers) Tears of the Kingdom!

In today's episode, Danika has a solo feature that's short, sweet, and on the topic of discourse. What is it? Where did it come from? Why are we so into it? She answers those questions and more in this bite-sized episode.

After a long and much needed break, Danika and Natalie are BACK to dig into the history of their online lives. They open a box that has been long sealed to revisit the glory of Napster, Quizilla, AOL Instant Messenger, Myspace, and MUCH more. They revisit Waypoint memories, reminisce on early Twitter days, and talk about how being semi-public figures online has molded their relationships with social media.

A braincell isn't the only thing Natalie and Danika share - they also have a matching TikTok fyp (for you page). This episode finds them deep in the trenches of the pit they've curated for themselves on TikTok. They talk #content, the good and the bad of the app, the effects of influencer marketing on mentally ill end-users, and more!
