We're joined this week by friend of the show Olga Koch (@Rocknrolga) to talk about all the weird reply guys she keeps having to deal with in her DMs, and crucially, why Reply Guys have become more and more unhinged. Have the parasocial boundaries simply become more vague and translucent, or have platforms - which encourage us to *constantly reply* to things, mean that the noble art of being a reply guy has been tarnished by wannabes and imitators, unappreciative of the delicate social boundaries reply guys must navigate in order to retain their posting privileges? Hussein posits a theory about Reply Guys: That, as we are now all reply (and quote tweet) guys, the originals have been forced to innovate the form in bizarre, unexpected and overtly crude ways.
