Today, we’re talking about Phoebe Gates’ AI shopping app, Phia, coming under fire for taking affiliate credit on purchases it didn’t actually earn. We’ll also cover whether it’s weird for wealthy influencers to ask brands for free products. Plus, we’ve got The Swap and a bunch of bonus recs for you (you’re welcome!).
