The Double Cleanse

Is The Internet Getting Meaner? And, Does Hate Guarantee You Viral Success?

The Double Cleanse

Show Notes

The internet is full of hate messages... but, can you turn hate into success on social media? On this episode of The Double Cleanse, James and Robert are diving deep into online negativity!

Are internet users just getting meaner? James and Robert dive into why TikTok comments feel more vicious than traditional YouTube hate, the rise of "rage baiting" as a hobby and how the algorithm encourages negativity for engagement (you too, can turn a hate comment into viral content!).

They discuss the difference between valid criticism and just being an ass and the glorious satisfaction of publicly embarrassing commenters who leave hate with their full name and Bible quotes in their bio.

From serial commenters to performative cruelty, nothing is off limits.
