This episode is powered by Inuit Mailchimp, Australia's #1 email marketing and automation platform. In this week's episode, I explore the history of influencer marketing, dating back to the 1930s. I look at how different moments in technology changed the industry— like the rise of mommy bloggers and the introduction of social media— before diving into how TikTok disrupted everything just a few short years ago. I also share three case studies of brands that have done TikTok influencer marketing well recently. The episode finishes with an interview with Inuit Mailchimp's global creative director Jeremy Jones, who talks me through the brand's recent launch into Australia and how this marketing campaign came to life.

In this week's episode, I explore the rise, fall, and recent resurgence of Tumblr— the microblogging site that defined Gen Z internet culture for years. I look at the site's origins, why it became so popular, and the lasting impact Tumblr had on the social media user experience and online trends. I also dive into some of the platform's biggest personalities, like Acacia Brinley, and popular sides of the platform both good and bad, like the pro-ana movement and the fuckyeah blogs.

In this week's episode, I explore the spiritual-adjacent corners of TikTok like manifestation-tok, tarot-tok, psychic-tok, and astrology-tok, and how this content can lead users down a harmful pipeline. I look at how young people, Gen Z in particular, are turning to new-age spirituality to make sense of the world and how the TikTok algorithm contributes to increasingly extreme beliefs in this area. I also share case studies of users who have devolved into "spiritual psychosis" (an unofficial term) after becoming obsessed with this side of TikTok.  Timestamps: 4:05 Why I wanted to talk about this topic 5:13 Overview of the spiritual side of TikTok 10:30 Explaining “spiritual psychosis” 13:36 Creator case studies 17:44 The role of TikTok’s algorithm Join our Geneva home: https://links.geneva.com/invite/7eb23525-9259-4d59-95e3-b9edd35861a5 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/infinitescrollpodcast/ Follow our publication: https://www.instagram.com/centennialworld/ Follow Lauren on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurenmeisner_/ Sources: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/astrology-is-at-the-center-of-danielle-johnson-murder-case-but-any-spiritual-practice-can-incite-violence https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-04-19/what-struggles-led-danielle-johnson-to-kill-family https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/woman-who-threw-her-daughters-onto-405-traffic-claimed-to-be-astrologer-i-team-confirms/3384844/?ref=popsugar.com&=___psv__p_49354925__t_w_  https://www.popsugar.com/astrology/spiritual-psychosis-signs-49354925 https://screenshot-media.com/gen-z-news/tiktok-spiritual-psychosis/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jgJZGJWwjQ https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/oct/30/tiktok-mental-health-social-media https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/tics-and-tiktok-can-social-media-trigger-illness-202201182670 https://sxustudentmedia.com/new-age-spirituality-and-spiritual-psychosis/ https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/oct/17/eva-wiseman-conspirituality-the-dark-side-of-wellness-how-it-all-got-so-toxic https://www.inverse.com/input/culture/schizophrenia-schizophrenic-tiktok-hashtag-ban https://www.vox.com/the-goods/22832827/manifesting-tiktok-astroworld-conspiracy-qanon-religion https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/12/fringe-left-alt-right-share-beliefs-white-power-movement/672454/ https://time.com/6083293/astrology-apps-personalized/  https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/01/14/measuring-religion-in-pew-research-centers-american-trends-panel/  https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjbn43/manifesting-is-gen-zs-answer-to-new-age-spirituality  https://theconversation.com/lucky-girl-syndrome-the-potential-dark-side-of-tiktoks-extreme-positive-thinking-trend-198439  https://www.vox.com/the-goods/22832827/manifesting-tiktok-astroworld-conspiracy-qanon-religion  https://www.vox.com/the-goods/23580200/lucky-girl-syndrome-tiktok-manifesting  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8462234/  https://www.tiktok.com/@alliepbackupaccount/video/7357763096598826282?_r=1&_t=8lZJiR5s80o https://www.tiktok.com/@neomudang/video/7147845030022057262?_r=1&_t=8lkuc1M7w6i   https://www.tiktok.com/@jasminesgarden23/video/7148037000959085870?_r=1&_t=8lkuep9Adpx  https://apnews.com/article/los-angeles-infant-freeway-homicide-investigation-eclipse-681f9434051fd80187677b2f67787b3a

In this week's episode, I explore the rise and (inevitable) fall of the commentary genre. I cover the origins of this content, the rise of this genre on YouTube, and why I believe we're about to see its downfall. I look at how the rise of anti-intellectualism, a decline in media literacy, and the death of the monoculture— all amplified by the introduction of TikTok— will likely be the main reasons for the downfall of commentary content.

In this week's episode, I explore the very dark consequences of putting children online. I specifically focus on children whose parents post on their behalf— turning them into 'child influencers.' I look at how posting content of minors online relinquishes control of their image & how that can end up in the wrong hands. I finish by diving into the laws in both the U.S. and Australia that do or do not protect children on social media.

This week's episode is a re-edited rerun of a season 3 episode that is still very much relevant today where we explore why Gen Z pursues privacy online. I have added a new intro and shared some tea in the update section, so make sure to listen.  In this episode, Jordyn Christensen and I look at why Gen Z is starting to seek more privacy and anonymity online. We explore the concept of the personal brand from a Gen Z lens, the new dangers youth face online, and several factors that have contributed to this generation choosing to be more private than their Millennial counterparts. We also look at some Gen Z creators who have recently taken a step back from social media (like Emma Chamberlain), and consider both the benefits and the risks of internet users becoming increasingly anonymous.  Find our podcast YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18HclY7Tt5-1e3Z-MEP7Jg  Subscribe to our weekly Substack: https://centennialworld.substack.com/  Join our Geneva home: https://links.geneva.com/invite/7eb23525-9259-4d59-95e3-b9edd35861a5  Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/infinitescrollpodcast/  Follow our publication: https://www.instagram.com/centennialworld/  Follow Lauren on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurenmeisner_/ 

In this week's episode, I further explore the ideology behind the increasingly popular 'tradwife' lifestyle and discuss how this term is now being misused against mommy vloggers and creators who post domestic life content. I also dive into the questions around Nara Smith, TikToks' buzziest creator at the moment, to better understand if her content really is Mormon tradwife propaganda, or simply innocent lifestyle content with a focus on home and family life (and cooking for her kids from scratch).

In this week's episode, I have my first co-host of season 5, Crystal Andrews! Crystal is a writer, author, and the founder & editor of feminist news publication, Zee Feed. But most importantly, Crystal is a Swiftie. Off the back of the Eras Tour in Sydney (which we both attended, twice), Crystal and I explore how Taylor Swift built such a culty fandom and why the Swifties feel so protective of their fave.

Bear with me as I figure out this new narrative, editing, and production style. It was important to me that I return with a more polished product for these solo deep dives and I hope you'll stick with me while I navigate this new norm. This episode was short and sweet to help me figure out the process. In this week's episode, I explore the concept of "flop influencers" and what career longevity realistically looks like for social media stars. I look at some examples like Brooklynne Webb, Axel Webb, Brittany Broski, Jason Nash, and Gabbie Hanna, and compare how TikTok fame differs from YouTube fame when it comes to "making it" as a career creator.
