I think that one of my first Mormon memories is that there's a YouTuber who would go around and film the temple ceremonies. I remember probably when I was like late middle school, early high school, coming across the thumbnail of, you know, secrets inside a Mormon temple. Oh, okay. I remember thinking to myself, I didn't click on it.

And I remember I had friends at school who would say, you can see what happens in the temple if you go on YouTube. And I remember, that's probably what they're talking about. It's right there. I didn't click on it. And as a Mormon kid, you very much learned the term anti-Mormon literature. that that's a whole thing you're warned against, that you shouldn't look at anti-Mormon literature.

They're just trying to destroy your testimony. And so I remember just thinking to myself, oh, this is anti-Mormon content and I shouldn't watch it. And so when I was still in high school, I think if I came across anything disfavorable about the church, I immediately just... turned my brain off and thought, you know, this is Satan. They told me about this.

And so because they told me about this, that's how I know that they are kind of foreseeing or foretelling the future because they're warning me of this thing that I shouldn't look at.

That's a good question. And I mean, I feel like my whole childhood was kind of trad wife content. I feel like to some extent, I think that it's also a question of platform because I feel like Instagram is meant for curation. And TikTok is kind of meant to question curation and to criticize curation. So I think that

a lot of trad wife content kind of came up in the Instagram age, which is beautiful children, beautiful dresses, lovely sourdough. And it's very curated. It's often photos instead of videos. So it's harder to pick apart a curated photo instead of A video where there's like a voice in the background or, you know, you can pause the screenshot and say, what's the picture on their wall?
