TW: this episode features dicussion of sexual violence.
It’s an age-old story –or at least, it’s becoming one. Subject –usually young, usually good looking, usually versed in pop culture –discovers the internet. It could be singing clips on Instagram, or comedy bits on TikTok, or, as it is in this case, YouTube. They make videos, they generate content. It’s all a bit of fun. Perhaps they get a couple of friends involved. Then, if the stars align, the internet discovers them. Before long, fame comes. For some, it’s a gateway into a larger and more sustained career. Others enjoy their lucrative, if ephemeral, moment in the zeitgeist. But for others, it can crash and burn.
