This week we are unpacking the strange state of the internet, where every app suddenly wants a monthly subscription, every sale is apparently āending soon,ā and Spencer Pratt is somehow running for mayor.
We get into the ACCC cracking down on fake urgency marketing after EmmaSleep was fined $15 million, why countdown timers and endless sales are becoming a legal problem for brands, and the growing exhaustion consumers feel from subscription culture.
We also discuss Spencer Prattās TikTok political campaign strategy, Netflix launching a rich kid reality show we did not ask for, and the bizarre experience of trying to become a content creator while still having a full time job and a functioning nervous system.
Plus, Georgia accidentally locked herself out of almost every app on her phone while trying to reduce screen time, Brooke discovers she accidentally created a successful lead magnet, and we debate whether robot vacuums are the greatest invention of modern society.Inside this episode:
