Clout Nine sits down with orthodontist-turned-satirical creator Brad Podray (formerly Scumbag Dad) to tear apart the dark side of influencer culture, fake pranks, and AI-driven content.

Brad breaks down how content aggregators steal from creators, why “prank” creators are exploiting workers and vulnerable people, and how meta glasses + AI are pushing us into a creepier, dumber content era.

He also shares how being financially independent (thanks to his orthodontics career) lets him say what most creators are too scared to admit about brand deals, burnout, and the pressure to stay “relevant” online.

If you care about influencer ethics, creator mental health, or the future of AI content creation, this episode is a must-watch.
