Watch this video, but first buy shares in Play-Doh before big pharma bans it.

“Oh no, it’s 11 minutes!”, I hear you saying.

But shush. It’s 11 GRIPPING minutes. I promise you won’t get bored even once.

joe that’s crazy

NEW VID: Scammers are mass producing conspiracy videos to profit off of TikTok’s Creativity Program Beta.

Abbie Richards went down the rabbit hole to show you how: youtu.be/X66MGRN364c?si…

My new video on why TikTok is becoming an AI conspiracy theory filled nightmare just dropped

I am so disappointed in my fellow journalists.

VIDEO: The Daily Wire has started calling for the death of their political opponents.

It’s called “stochastic terrorism,” and it’s going to get someone killed. youtu.be/jfVWZkGtVHI?si…

Great deepdive by Abbie Richards into the intersection of easy AI (that Elevenlabs voice) + conspiracy theory + gaming Tiktok synthetic media policy + monetization

Russell Brand's YouTube career is a perfect example of selling out to insane people, as Abbie Richards brilliantly lays out.

If you want to understand why Russell Brand went from a left-wing hero a decade ago to one of the biggest pusher of conspiracy theories today, you should watch this brilliant video from Abbie Richards
