In this episode, we peel back the layers of TikTok’s dystopian live-streaming culture and dive deep into the phenomenon of 'trainwreck watching.' What makes us so drawn to the chaos, drama, and exploitation unfolding in real time? We examine the rise of influencers like Ashley Trevino, who’ve built their empires on manufactured controversies and raw, unfiltered moments that feel straight out of a Black Mirror episode. From algorithmic manipulation to the emotional toll on both creators and viewers, we explore how this digital voyeurism shapes our understanding of fame, authenticity, and the human condition. Is it entertainment, exploitation, or something more sinister? Tune in as we unpack the dark side of live streaming and its implications for our increasingly online lives.
