In this week's episode, we explore the buzzy 'vibe shift' in relation to YouTube and cancel culture. We first dive into the history of cancel culture dating back to the 1950s and explore how it ended up as such a big part of the zeitgeist in recent years. We then discuss how YouTube creators have historically been treated amid a cancellation and dive into the shift we are seeing now— a less severe cancellation with more permanent consequences.

In this week's episode, we bring you all our opinions on the new mini-series adaptation of the Anna Delvey story, Inventing Anna. We explore what was real, what was fake, and what left us utterly confused. We share our thoughts centering the show around Vivian Kent, the dramatisation of an already-interesting case, and the criticism suggesting the series glorified Anna's crimes.  

Inventing Anna is a Netflix & Shondaland miniseries based on a New York Magazine investigative piece covering the life of fake German heiress Anna Sorokin AKA Anna Delvey who became notorious for scamming New York’s elite. Anna is played by Julia Garner and the series follows a journalist named Vivian Kent, played by Anna Chlumsky, who is trying to redeem her career by profiling Anna’s story and scams.

In this week's episode, we dive into the internet's latest viral phenomenon: West Elm Caleb. Now that the dust has settled, we cover the backstory of how a random NYC f*ckboy went viral on TikTok without his consent and the arguments both for and against this type of content going viral. We explore whether Caleb's alleged behaviour really warrants his mass 'cancellation' and question whether online sleuthing is doing more harm than good.
