    Crowd Sourced Conspiracies

    This week’s episode discusses how a competitive and well informed group of conspiracy theories have partnered with one of the early meme pioneers to see if bots could become influencers. And you know, a magic society.  Jada and Kurtie discuss mysticism, combining religions, and the use of visual cues in a podcast as a bad call. They all call into question whether or not some of your online favorites might just be bots.
