In this week's episode, we explore the recent buzz around ByteDance's new app, Lemon8. We cover what the app does, why it's being talked about so much, and share our opinions on why you shouldn't feel the pressure to download it. We then look at how TikTok's unprecedented success has altered the tech industry’s expectations of growth and success while fostering a culture among users of panic downloading new apps out of fear of missing out on the Next Big Thing.
