This week, we're re-releasing one of our favourite episodes from January.

Do the web’s harms outweigh its benefits? We investigate.

The internet is a mess of contradictions. Scrolling through your feed helps you unwind, but it’s bad for your mental health. Maybe you’ve found community online, something many others have found through hateful ideologies and cults.

It all begs the question: Is the internet a net negative? All of this week’s podcasts help us attempt to answer this question.

Featuring: ICYMI, Endless Thread, Boys Like Me, Reply All, 99% Invisible, Maintenance Phase
