In this episode, Dawn and Eli take on the topic of dysregulated versus regulated online groups and what that difference really looks like in real life, especially on YouTube. During the first half of the hour and a half show, they freestyle about their personal experiences dealing with dysregulated individuals and communities, and how those interactions have shaped their commitment to modeling calmer, more regulated behavior online. They talk candidly about boundaries, emotional regulation, and the responsibility creators have in shaping the tone of their spaces. In the second half of the episode, Dawn and Eli react to three Reddit posts exploring online culture. The first two focus on why YouTube often feels toxic and what contributes to that environment, while the final post highlights the positive experiences people have found in online communities. Throughout the discussion, they share thoughtful reflections on how regulation, empathy, and intention can shift online spaces from chaotic to constructive.
