Episode 4: The Call Is Coming from Inside the House

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

mardi 5 novembre 2024 • Durée 38:09

In the final episode of Who Killed the Female YouTube Star, Shoshana Eilon delves into the role of YouTube’s algorithm in perpetuating the platform’s gender gap. Though YouTube was originally envisioned as a democratized space, its recommendation system now often favors sensational content, creating barriers for female creators. Experts like researcher Ola Kowalewski and journalist Taylor Lorenz explain how algorithmic bias and ad-driven incentives disadvantage women on the platform.

The episode also examines the “MrBeast effect,” where the popularity of male-dominated content further amplifies these biases. Shoshana explores potential solutions, from fostering community collaboration to considering regulatory interventions, and questions what steps YouTube can take to achieve true gender equity.

Episode 3: Don't Feed the Trolls! Exploring Online Misogyny

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mardi 29 octobre 2024 • Durée 25:44

Why are female creators on YouTube relentlessly targeted with hate? In this episode, host Shoshana Eilon dives into the abuse faced by women on the platform.

Creators share personal accounts of the vitriol that targets their looks, humor, and credibility, while journalist Taylor Lorenz and gender expert Tamar Saguy unpack the societal roots of this misogyny. We explore how trolling disproportionately affects women—studies show female creators receive twice as many negative comments as their male counterparts, with a 12x higher chance of encountering sexist remarks.

Despite YouTube's moderation tools, its algorithm rewards engagement—even hateful comments—causing harassment to spiral. As Lorenz explains, creators must either tolerate this abuse or risk losing visibility by disabling comments. The episode raises critical questions about YouTube’s complicity in fostering misogyny through its algorithms and what must change to support women on the platform.

Episode 2: It’s the (Creator) Economy, Stupid!

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mardi 22 octobre 2024 • Durée 35:28

In Episode 2 of Who Killed the Female YouTube Star, we examine how YouTube’s evolving monetization model has deepened gender disparity on the platform. Beginning with Heather Armstrong, the pioneering “mommy blogger,” we trace how early female creators laid the groundwork for today’s influencer economy and revisit some of the top female YouTubers from the platform’s early days. Despite these foundations, women now earn less and are underrepresented among top creators. Host Shoshana Eilon interviews industry experts Jessy Grossman and Taylor Lorenz to uncover structural biases in brand deals and VC investments—and how YouTube’s growing profitability shifted the balance against women creators.

Host Shoshana Eilon explores YouTube’s mission to democratize content creation, liberating it from Hollywood’s gatekeepers. But nearly twenty years later, the vision of true equality remains unfulfilled—women make up only a small percentage of YouTube’s top earners and subscriber base. Featuring candid interviews with creators like Whitney Cernak, Michelle Lam, and industry expert Jessy Grossman, we unravel the biases and structural barriers that have held women back, launching an in-depth investigation into the platform’s gender gap.
