Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

Does that make sense?

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

The things you get on your feed are genuinely things that should be viral.

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

Virality though.

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

is largely concocted and culture is largely concocted.

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

Do I think it's 90%?

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

No, but I think what this has done is made me think a lot about who we're talking about and why.

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

And it's really complicated because if you look at the example of someone like Clavicula, for example,

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

And if there are conversations about his following and his feed or whatever, his videos being artificially inflated by clipping, maybe allegedly for a while, that is still finding an audience that's real.

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

That is still finding an audience that we don't want to be going down these internet rabbit holes, young men in particular.

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

That is then still worth talking about.

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

And so in the context of our job in this show, I felt kind of complicated over the last few days because it's like, well, do we need to be extra discerning about what conversations we bring on?

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

Or do we still just have to reflect the stuff we're seeing online?

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

See, I completely disagree.

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

I don't just see it as fuel.

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

I see them as artificially in some ways.

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

Sometimes it's fuel.

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

Like in Justin Bieber's Coachella set was always going to be in people's feeds.

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

Like you've got how many people there are?

Shameless
Oh, yep, that's fake too

A hundred thousand people there watching a set in a TikTok generation.
