Show Notes
We're back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week James & Robert are tackling problematic content trends, influencer drama and products they’ve been influenced into buying (for better or worse)!
After opening with a rant about unreadable subtitle fonts, the twins dive into how creators are prioritizing aesthetics over accessibility. People are using pastel yellow text, Comic Sans, multiple different fonts – all in the name of a “visual hook” – completely forgetting that subtitles were invented for people to actually read them.
Then there’s the over-production trend where people step in and around captions like it’s choreography. One girl fell through her ceiling (seemingly AI-generated) and made a tutorial on “how to do it” – influencing other creators to manufacture equally dramatic content.
The main topic on this episode are the products that James and Robert have been influenced into buying! They're talking about the plumping lip mask that is all over TikTok and K-beauty spaces, the foundation marketed as "for mature skin" on the brand's but aimed at everyone on TikTok and the intensive serum which has seemingly disappeared from the shelves... There are 7 must-have recommendations!
We want to know: What products have YOU been influenced into buying? Good or bad? Share your stories in the comments, and let us know which purchases you regret and which you’d repurchase forever!
