Über diesen Titel

 Episode Two examines how viral fame destroys lives and creates permanent digital infamy. Aiko Sato explores Chris Chan's two-decade documentation and harassment, Jason Russell's Kony 2012 collapse into public breakdown, the Balloon Boy hoax that ruined a family, and Rebecca Black's journey from most-hated teenager to redemption. The episode covers Amy's Baking Company's unhinged social media meltdown, Fyre Festival's influencer fraud, and DashCon's pathetic ball pit compensation. Aiko wrestles with uncomfortable ethics: when does documentation become harassment? Where's the line between entertainment and cruelty? The episode reveals how internet culture turns human suffering into content, makes mistakes permanent and searchable, and transforms vulnerable individuals into cautionary tales for our amusement.
