  the Internet mad after quitting her job as an attorney.

  The $1.2 million launch going viral and why TikTok users are

  coming for an Ariana Grande concert attendee.

  Hi everyone. Welcome to Mini Scroll, the
• 0:19
  daily Internet culture podcast bringing you the biggest stories
• 0:22
  from social media, the creator economy and the digital space.
• 0:25
  Every Monday through Thursday and sometimes Fridays, I'm your
• 0:28
  host Lauren Meisner, the founder of the Australian youth digital
• 0:32
  media brand Centennial World. Welcome back to mini scroll
• 0:36
  everyone, and welcome back to the Bob.
• 0:39
  OK, if you guys are watching, then you'll notice I have
• 0:42
  chopped my hair. We are no longer doing like the
• 0:46
  wispy surfer girl vibes. We are back to the blunt bleach
• 0:51
  blonde Bob and I'm feeling very good about it.
• 0:53
  I literally just got it done like two hours ago.
• 0:55
  So she does have like the very freshly colored, freshly washed
• 1:00
  puffy vibes. But regardless, I'm back.
• 1:04
  OK, before I get into it, we have a listener on Spotify who
• 1:06
  keeps commenting and asking for a shout out.
• 1:09
  So of course I'll give you a shout out.
• 1:10
  So shout out to Evie, Pokémon, Pokémon Pokémon.
• 1:14
  We see your comments every day. Thank you for the love and the
• 1:18
  support, and we're so glad that you love the pod.
• 1:20
  All right, let's just get into the stories for today.
• 1:23
  So the first story that I have for you guys today, this also
• 1:27
  came from a Spotify comment. We're going to cover how Tik
• 1:29
  Toker Jezebel is going viral for quitting her job.
• 1:32
  So Jezebel is a popular content creator.
• 1:34
  She's known for posting videos about her life, mostly about
• 1:37
  dating. And aside from TikTok, she's
• 1:39
  also been open with her audience over the years about how she
• 1:42
  works as an attorney full time. So we did remember Jezebel once,
• 1:45
  I want to say like last year, maybe she was in a feud with
• 1:49
  like another dating content creator.
• 1:52
  So if you guys want more information on her and that
• 1:55
  entire situation, just like type it into the search bar Jezebel
• 1:59
  and you will find it cuz we've only spoken about her once.
• 2:01
  Five days ago, she took to TikTok to announce that she
• 2:03
  would be quitting her job. In the video, she explained the
• 2:06
  situation, saying she's been working at her law firm for nine
• 2:09
  years, starting as an intern, and she said that she always
• 2:13
  loved her job until recently. So Jezebel maintained that it's
• 2:16
  not a scheduling issue that made her quit.
• 2:19
  With her TikTok fame, she had secured management, but she had
• 2:22
  always made it clear that she would not be quitting her job
• 2:25
  for content creation. However, things became difficult
• 2:28
  for her because her employer started receiving anonymous
• 2:31
  complaints about her via e-mail, presumably from haters or
• 2:35
  Internet trolls. Told her that I was never going
• 2:38
  to quit my job. I meant that God I don't want to
• 2:40
  cry during this but I do get emotional talking about it.
• 2:43
  I told her I wasn't going to quit my job, I meant that.
• 2:45
  Unfortunately, what happens with success on the Internet?
• 2:49
  People wanting to bring you down.
• 2:51
  And about 2 1/2 months ago, these unknown, unnamed,
• 2:56
  undisclosed losers on the Internet took it upon themselves
• 3:00
  to find where I work and e-mail my employer incessantly until my
• 3:05
  employer had to get me involved. I'm an attorney and I work for
• 3:10
  attorneys. So I thought, all of us have a
• 3:12
  brain here. We're actually not going to let
• 3:14
  user 45321 no name, no profile photo from the dark corners of
• 3:19
  the web drive the ship. Well, color me surprised when
• 3:23
  that's not how it played out. For the last two months I have
• 3:26
  had meeting after meeting, conversation after conversation,
• 3:31
  e-mail after e-mail, phone call after phone call with my office
• 3:37
  as they tried to get me to explain anonymous,
• 3:40
  unsubstantiated, unknown complaints from random people on
• 3:45
  the Internet. Her boss eventually had to bring
• 3:47
  it to her, which has made things difficult for her in the
• 3:49
  workplace since they're now conducting an investigation.
• 3:52
  She said that her office had become increasingly hostile,
• 3:54
  where some employees had been tasked with watching all of her
• 3:57
  posts and lives to keep track of her content.
• 4:00
  And so anyways, this obviously has manifested into anxiety for
• 4:03
  her, which she does discuss more in depth in the video.
• 4:06
  And then she added that she will not be looking for a new job at
• 4:09
  least for three months. It wasn't that these losers on
• 4:12
  the Internet were going out of their way to try to bring me
• 4:15
  down, because I've experienced that and placed on the Internet.
• 4:17
  I know that comes with the territory.
• 4:19
  It was the fact that this group of fucking attorneys and a group
• 4:24
  of people that know me that really should have my back
• 4:28
  seemingly didn't. It felt like to me was having
• 4:31
  haters on the Internet anonymously and haters in the
• 4:34
  workplace. You know that quote, first that
• 4:36
  bitch hate me, then this bitch hate me and they link up and
• 4:38
  they become friends. Like huh.
• 4:39
  I have felt ostracized. I have felt I've done something
• 4:43
  wrong when I have it, and The thing is, is my office knows
• 4:47
  that they can't do anything to me.
• 4:48
  They just don't like the attention that these little
• 4:52
  freaks have brought to the office and they don't like that
• 4:56
  I am living my life happily outside of the workplace.
• 4:58
  OK, so the initial reaction to her decision seemed pretty
• 5:01
  mixed. Scrolling through comments
• 5:03
  underneath that video, many users seemed disappointed that
• 5:06
  she was quitting her law job for social media, considering it is
• 5:09
  obviously far less secure and prestigious.
• 5:12
  And also, like we love when we find creators that have quote UN
• 5:17
  quote, like regular lives or regular jobs and people follow
• 5:20
  them sometimes like for that type of content, like for that
• 5:23
  like day in the life of going to the office at corporate Batty,
• 5:26
  whatever it is. Sometimes we follow them for
• 5:29
  that type of content. And then of course, as they
• 5:31
  become more successful, they're able to sustain themselves off
• 5:34
  of content creation. And I understand why they would
• 5:36
  want to do that. Of course, like if you can not
• 5:39
  have to go into an office, if you don't have to have a boss,
• 5:41
  like if you can make all of your own money through those means.
• 5:44
  Like I understand why of course, like most people would choose
• 5:46
  that. But it does hurt for us, the
• 5:49
  followers when we feel like one of our faves has transitioned
• 5:53
  their content to being like a full time content creator.
• 5:55
  It's like obviously less relatable and sometimes it's
• 5:58
  less interesting. It's just like another one.
• 6:01
  OK. But also others in her comments
• 6:04
  are pretty supportive of her, especially after hearing about
• 6:07
  this experience. So some of the top comments one
• 6:10
  person wrote quitting being a lawyer over being on TikTok is
• 6:13
  wild. Social media isn't going to
• 6:15
  last. Someone else wrote nine years.
• 6:17
  You proved and shown your ability as an attorney for
• 6:19
  years. Two months change that.
• 6:21
  They 100% should have had your back.
• 6:23
  Someone else wrote she's quitting her attorney to be an
• 6:25
  influencer. Completely missed the point and
• 6:27
  didn't actually listen to her. All right.
• 6:28
  So now Jezebel has made a few follow up videos about the
• 6:31
  issue. So she has referenced other
• 6:33
  lawyer slash like content creators who have had similar
• 6:37
  experiences, explaining how many of these women were essentially
• 6:40
  being pushed out because her bosses who don't really
• 6:43
  understand social media didn't believe that she could do both
• 6:46
  successfully. Jezebel also doubled down on the
• 6:49
  fact that her performance was never the issue.
• 6:51
  In another video, she went into more details about the emails
• 6:54
  her workplace received and why the quote of quote investigation
• 6:57
  took place. So the author of the e-mail
• 7:00
  expressed concern about Jezebel working in the legal profession
• 7:03
  because of her content. They claimed that sharing quote
• 7:06
  explicit details of her sex life on public social media accounts
• 7:10
  and harassing and attacking individuals online was not
• 7:13
  appropriate contact for a lawyer.
• 7:15
  Jezebel alleges that these emails were sent to around 10
• 7:18
  people in her office. This is the e-mail that started
• 7:21
  the investigation. One person or a group of
• 7:23
  anonymous weirdos found my job, emailed about 10 different
• 7:27
  people at my job, and requested a formal investigation into me
• 7:32
  because as members of the community, they had deep
• 7:34
  concerns about someone like me being in the legal profession.
• 7:38
  My office never showed this to me.
• 7:40
  The only reason I got it when I got it was because they also
• 7:44
  sent it to my my manager, my brand manager Jillian.
• 7:46
  And Jillian forwarded this to me and said, girl, I just want you
• 7:49
  to know that I just got this. I'm assuming nothing's going to
• 7:51
  happen with this, but like, you should know that they sent this
• 7:54
  to your job. I read it and my stomach, my
• 7:56
  heart drops. Are you joking?
• 8:00
  Immediately screenshot the e-mail, send it to my friends
• 8:02
  that I work with. Every single one of my friends
• 8:04
  say it just says clearly some ChatGPT ass e-mail that these
• 8:09
  little weirdos wrote. Our office is gonna ignore it
• 8:12
  and do nothing about it. Like I wouldn't be stressed.
• 8:14
  I understand that you're upset that they did this, rightfully
• 8:17
  so. But like the extent that you're
• 8:18
  worried about your job, I would ignore it.
• 8:20
  I said OK, you're right. You're right.
• 8:22
  You're right. You're right.
• 8:23
  I'm losing sight of it. You're right.
• 8:24
  And then she also clarified the timeline that led to this point.
• 8:27
  So she said that her workplace was aware of her TikTok for a
• 8:30
  while before this first e-mail was sent.
• 8:33
  And they even approved of her quote UN quote outside
• 8:35
  employment. After the e-mail was when things
• 8:37
  like really changed for her in the workplace to the point where
• 8:40
  her caseload changed and they seemed to trust her less.
• 8:43
  They later went on to reject her quote UN quote outside
• 8:45
  employment after asking the office to submit it again.
• 8:48
  And basically this all led to her feeling like she was being
• 8:52
  forced out of her job and feeling like super paranoid
• 8:55
  about her coworkers. And then her most recent video,
• 8:59
  she shares that she has now 6 sexual harassment claims filed
• 9:06
  against her at work. So she said that the first one
• 9:11
  came in a few weeks before the e-mail, like calling for an
• 9:14
  investigation was sent. So the complaint alleged that
• 9:17
  Jezebel was talking about a brand deal she did, which was
• 9:20
  with an adult toy company in an elevator at work.
• 9:23
  This allegedly made the person who filed the complaint feel
• 9:26
  uncomfortable, and Jezebel said she has no recollection of
• 9:29
  talking about the brand deal at work.
• 9:30
  I got my sick sexual harassment claim filed against me at work
• 9:35
  because one thing about a Jezebel, we're always going to
• 9:37
  be persecuted. That's what I've been telling my
• 9:39
  friends these last couple months.
• 9:40
  So the troll e-mail was sent like in March.
• 9:43
  My first complaint against me was sometime early March.
• 9:49
  So that's a set. That's an entirely separate
• 9:51
  thing that I've been dealing with, by the way.
• 9:53
  That's an entirely separate department and entity.
• 9:56
  Then the department and the entity that was investigating me
• 9:59
  for whatever the hell they were investigating me for, my social
• 10:02
  media. And that department is actually
• 10:04
  an entirely separate department. And the department that was
• 10:06
  refusing to approve my outside employment.
• 10:09
  So really it was three different departments that I was having to
• 10:12
  like navigate and communicate with on top of just doing my
• 10:16
  fucking job on top of trying to do tick tock, on top of just
• 10:20
  trying to live my life. OK, it's been so much.
• 10:24
  Yesterday I get to my computer. 1/6 complaint filed against me,
• 10:28
  The first complaint, it's filed, it's anonymous.
• 10:31
  It's a scary e-mail that comes in and it says basically this
• 10:34
  complaint has been filed against you under case number of blah
• 10:37
  blah blah. The department is now going to
• 10:40
  investigate. If we determine that there is a
• 10:43
  legitimate basis for harassment in the workplace, we will reach
• 10:46
  out to you for a formal investigation.
• 10:48
  Does not tell you who made the complaint or what the complaint
• 10:51
  was about, but you can call and get more information if you want
• 10:56
  more information. I I had a feeling I had to with
• 10:58
  my social media because I was like this is so random.
• 11:01
  My opinion is that this person just watched my video.
• 11:05
  Felt like it was inappropriate that an attorney was promoting
• 11:09
  adult toys and then lodged A complaint and said that I was
• 11:13
  talking about it in an elevator. Nothing ever came of that.
• 11:16
  I guess the investigation LED them nowhere.
• 11:18
  I never heard anything about it. 3 weeks later is when I get the
• 11:21
  e-mail from the trolls saying they want me investigated.
• 11:25
  And shortly thereafter I got my second harassment complaint.
• 11:28
  Again, anonymous just says this complaint's been filed against
• 11:32
  you. The department's going to look
• 11:33
  into it. If you want more information,
• 11:34
  give us a call. I call again, I say hi, Jezebel,
• 11:37
  me again. What's this one about?
• 11:40
  Do you remember? In December I called a man an
• 11:43
  insell and I, and I'll tell you, oh, the man that got drunk,
• 11:47
  pulled my hair, gave me a kiss, told me you're not as hot as you
• 11:49
  think you are, called me a fucking bitch when I tried to
• 11:51
  put him in an Uber because he was embarrassing himself.
• 11:53
  That man. And I never said anything about
• 11:55
  that to anyone. I kept that to myself.
• 11:57
  That man went to our boss, filed a little complaint and said she
• 12:00
  called me an insell at a party. So yeah, she basically feels
• 12:03
  like the firm is coming at her from various different angles
• 12:08
  and was kind of like making it so uncomfortable for her that
• 12:12
  she felt forced out of the company.
• 12:15
  And a lot of people in her comments section think that
• 12:17
  based on all of the stories that she's told us that it's possible
• 12:21
  it is her colleagues that are like sending these emails.
• 12:25
  There are other people that think maybe it's from trolls,
• 12:28
  people that don't like her or fans of the previous of the
• 12:33
  other dating content creator. I think her name was Maddie Mads
• 12:37
  Watts. So there are people online that
• 12:39
  think maybe it's Mads Watts's like Maddie's followers or fans
• 12:44
  that are doing this. But like, that happened a long
• 12:46
  time ago. I don't know, maybe they're in a
• 12:49
  new feud that I haven't seen, but that was a long time ago.
• 12:53
  If something like that was going to happen, I imagine it would
• 12:54
  have happened back then, not now, but in general.
• 12:57
  Jezebel, she is saying like anonymous trolls, she's
• 13:01
  suspicious of her colleagues, but it's more so like Internet
• 13:03
  users that largely believe this must be mostly her colleagues.
• 13:08
  A lot of people believe that from her content.
• 13:10
  There's also a lot of discussion questioning whether something
• 13:14
  like this would ever happen to a man.
• 13:15
  We have seen this happen to other influencers like Brittany
• 13:18
  Broski spoke about how after she went viral, she was fired from
• 13:21
  her job at the time, which was in trust and investment
• 13:23
  services. I feel like it's possible it
• 13:26
  wouldn't have been handled in this way in the workplace if it
• 13:30
  was a man. In saying that though not
• 13:32
  everyone is supportive of Jezebel's decision or like
• 13:35
  believes her story in general, the snark pages right now are
• 13:39
  very active discussing every single video that she posts
• 13:42
  about the topic. OK the next story that I have
• 13:44
  for you guys today is a creator named Jesse Jean has gone
• 13:49
  extremely viral for her yapping challenge that has allegedly
• 13:53
  made her over $1 million. So Jessie's account is at Jessie
• 13:59
  Jean home and it's relatively new.
• 14:01
  Her oldest TikTok was posted in November of last year.
• 14:04
  She started making Tik Toks about pretty relatable topics
• 14:07
  like talking about career confusion, career pivots and
• 14:10
  other financial content. Now, towards the end of May,
• 14:13
  Jessie has started really gaining traction after posting
• 14:16
  content about her so-called Yap challenge.
• 14:19
  Here's what I think you should yap about.
• 14:21
  And you're talking direct to camera videos.
• 14:23
  I have somehow managed to yap my way to almost 400,000 followers
• 14:26
  in the last 4 1/2 months. This is what I think about
• 14:28
  before I make one of these. Types of posts In another, she
• 14:31
  was sharing details about the challenge, which essentially
• 14:33
  teaches attendees how to speak in a way that commands attention
• 14:37
  for short form video. This is what she wrote in a
• 14:39
  caption. Quote for six weeks.
• 14:42
  I'm breaking down how I grew from zero to 400 K followers in
• 14:45
  the last five months. The psychology, the hooks, the
• 14:48
  delivery, the storytelling, the stuff AI can't scrape.
• 14:51
  And every day for 40 days I pull up one of my actual viral posts.
• 14:54
  Breakdown exactly why it worked. Give you the hook angle
• 14:57
  structure. Teach the communication
• 14:59
  psychology behind it. We will drown the cringe in
• 15:02
  volume. OK, so the challenge was set to
• 15:04
  start on June 1st and the opportunity to sign up closed on
• 15:06
  May 31st. On May 28th she posted another
• 15:10
  video quote UN quote over sharing how much she had made
• 15:12
  from the challenge saying that it was just over $200,000.
• 15:16
  And now in a more recent video she is saying that she has
• 15:19
  made-up to $1.2 million. This is from a creator who only
• 15:24
  started in November, so a lot of people online have been
• 15:28
  discussing what made this launch so successful, especially when
• 15:31
  we're living in this era of so many like scammers and like fake
• 15:36
  gurus selling courses. My opinion on why this probably
• 15:40
  was so successful is first of all, I don't know how many
• 15:43
  courses are out there about how to like speak to camera,
• 15:46
  especially for TikTok or like short form video.
• 15:50
  Obviously there's a lot of like social media courses, but
• 15:53
  specifically framing it around like talking to camera, yapping
• 15:56
  to camera, that's incredibly specific.
• 15:58
  So it targets like a very niche market of people that are like,
• 16:01
  yes, I am interested in that skill.
• 16:04
  That is not a skill that I currently have and it's not too
• 16:06
  broad, right? It's like really, really
• 16:08
  specific, which I think is easier to buy, but also yapping
• 16:12
  to camera is not a skill that I think a lot of people are
• 16:15
  comfortable doing. And therefore it's going to be
• 16:18
  something that sells. It's not something that you
• 16:19
  often find in these courses. And it's also something that a
• 16:23
  lot of people are uncomfortable with.
• 16:25
  It's like public speaking. But you know, for camera, it's,
• 16:27
  it's, it's something that a lot of people are really nervous
• 16:30
  about, feel very cringe about, they're not comfortable with.
• 16:32
  So it makes sense to me why this was so successful.
• 16:35
  But that being said, there are a lot of people who are
• 16:38
  questioning the legitimacy of the challenge.
• 16:40
  In her comments section. There seem to be more supporters
• 16:43
  and skeptics, but there are some people that are like, is she
• 16:46
  just lying about these numbers to get more people to sign up?
• 16:49
  But yeah, people aren't losing their minds over this.
• 16:51
  Those who believe it are losing their minds.
• 16:53
  People are saying she's created this, like, movement that's
• 16:56
  helping her differentiate from other coaching content.
• 16:58
  Like, honestly, this is a really interesting case study if it's
• 17:02
  true. I believe it's true in how to
• 17:05
  actually market a course for something that people need and
• 17:09
  want. And it's such a good case study
• 17:11
  in like niching down. I hear niche down all the time.
• 17:13
  And then, you know, there's conflicting things on that.
• 17:15
  It's like, oh, can you niche down too much?
• 17:17
  Are you isolating, you know, yourself from a lot of the
• 17:20
  target audience? But this is a very interesting
• 17:23
  case study in the power of niching down and finding like a
• 17:26
  very, very specific sore spot for people and just like leaning
• 17:30
  into that. All right.
• 17:31
  And the last story that I have for you guys today, this is
• 17:35
  Speaking of niching down. This is niche.
• 17:37
  And unfortunately, Annabelle made me cover this.
• 17:41
  She is too deeply entrenched in this space and she wouldn't let
• 17:45
  me record this without covering it.
• 17:46
  So here we go. OK, Ariana Grande fans, they are
• 17:49
  coming for a concert goer who live streamed from the Eternal
• 17:53
  Sunshine Tour. A social media user named Igor
• 17:56
  is going viral among Ariana Grande fans.
• 17:59
  So basically, Igor often live streams concerts.
• 18:02
  He live streamed the first two shows of the Eternal Sunshine
• 18:05
  Tour, but he also went pretty viral for live streaming the
• 18:08
  era's tour a couple of years ago.
• 18:10
  Clips from Igor's dreams are making the rounds among the
• 18:12
  fandom, with users roasting him for singing in the background,
• 18:17
  comparing his voice to Mickey Mouse, which is honestly so
• 18:21
  diabolical, and allegedly turning the camera to himself
• 18:25
  during the show. So let me read you some tweets
• 18:27
  that show kind of like the general sentiment about this
• 18:30
  live stream 1 user wrote. Everyone seeing the same live
• 18:33
  stream, listening Igor singing with his Mickey Mouse voice and
• 18:36
  turning camera to himself. I'm so done that I'm going to
• 18:39
  wait for videos tomorrow. I've had enough for tonight,
• 18:41
  bye. Another user wrote when the job
• 18:43
  is live stream Ariana properly because you are close to her but
• 18:46
  my name is Igor and I'm shady as fuck.
• 18:49
  And another read. Anybody else getting annoyed by
• 18:51
  Igor's live stream or is it just me?
• 18:53
  OK so he is getting so much backlash for basically like live
• 18:57
  streaming the concert badly that he has made a video saying that
• 19:04
  he is not going to be live streaming anymore from the
• 19:07
  Eternal Sunshine tour and that many viewers and fans have been
• 19:10
  super ungrateful of his work. OK y'all, so night 2 is over.
• 19:15
  Thanks y'all for joining the live.
• 19:16
  This was the last time I'm going live from the Eternal Sunshine
• 19:19
  tour even though I'm going to more shows in LA because some of
• 19:23
  y'all are very ungrateful. You literally had the barricade
• 19:26
  view for the live and yet you have the other city to tell me
• 19:29
  what to say and what not to say. And also to those of y'all who
• 19:33
  think that this is my first time going live, you must Google the
• 19:37
  era store Igor's Live from three years ago and you will get some
• 19:42
  other information. About me Okay, so aside from
• 19:44
  being just generally insane, this has sparked a lot of
• 19:48
  discourse off the back of this about what live streamers
• 19:52
  actually owe viewers when they are streaming from events and
• 19:56
  concerts. I would say in general, viewers
• 19:58
  do seem to feel quite a bit of ownership over streamers.
• 20:01
  And I think this comes from the fact that streams are recorded
• 20:03
  in real time. So there is this kind of like
• 20:06
  back and forth between the viewer and the streamer that is
• 20:09
  different to static content or uploaded videos.
• 20:12
  There is more of that, I don't know, like maybe parasocialness
• 20:15
  because you feel like you're right there with the streamer.
• 20:17
  And then of course, finally there's like the gifting aspect.
• 20:20
  So people are actually financially investing in these
• 20:22
  creators in real time, which can make viewers feel like they are
• 20:25
  owed something from these streamers.
• 20:27
  This is actually a huge topic that I talked about with Sean a
• 20:30
  lot, my husband, because he's really into Twitch and has been
• 20:33
  for years. And there's frequently instances
• 20:36
  where Twitch streamers, you know, they're grinding away and
• 20:39
  people are like, so excited to support them and spending all
• 20:42
  their money, like supporting them and all this kind of stuff.
• 20:44
  And then when they get really, really big, there's this kind of
• 20:47
  like sense of entitlement from the viewers because they feel
• 20:49
  like they have given them so much time, so much energy, so
• 20:52
  much effort, and also so much money at the end of the day in
• 20:56
  this situation. The question is, though, should
• 20:58
  these expectations hold up when someone like Igor is streaming
• 21:02
  specifically from a concert? This is not something he has to
• 21:05
  do and some viewers do seem to hold the sentiment.
• 21:09
  So under 1 TikTok shading Igor users seem to be defending him.
• 21:13
  Someone wrote quote yeah they're at the concert.
• 21:15
  They paid for the ticket and they get to have fun.
• 21:18
  They literally are doing people a favor by going live.
• 21:20
  Don't expect them to stay silent and let them enjoy themselves.
• 21:23
  Or pay someone to record to not speak I guess because people are
• 21:27
  saying like he needs to stop singing over top of the show
• 21:29
  someone else wrote. Girl he literally did a stream
• 21:32
  on opening night and said he wouldn't sing for that.
• 21:34
  He had every right to sing at the second show and finally
• 21:36
  someone wrote. Mind you he's streaming out of
• 21:38
  his own will. There's plenty of other people
• 21:40
  streaming. He's having fun, you should be
• 21:42
  too. I'm curious to hear what you
• 21:43
  guys think about this. My initial gut reaction is like,
• 21:48
  it's his live stream, you don't have to watch it.
• 21:50
  I understand that he probably makes money from the live
• 21:53
  stream. So it is like quote UN quote, a
• 21:54
  job somewhat, but we don't have to watch that live stream and
• 21:59
  agree he paid for the ticket. So he's having fun and like if
• 22:03
  you want to be at a concert with somebody who is having fun, then
• 22:06
  you can watch his live stream. But if you want to hear Ariana
• 22:10
  Grande's voice and not like anybody else's voice, including
• 22:14
  his, I am sure there's countless other videos that you can watch
• 22:17
  on TikTok of that. I don't know, I think that's my
• 22:20
  gut reaction, but I'm curious to hear what you guys think.
• 22:22
  And I feel like this is literally just like scratching
• 22:24
  the surface of like the live stream dynamic culture and how
• 22:31
  that kind of plays out online and with an audience dynamics.
• 22:34
  I'm actually really interested in this.
• 22:35
  Maybe we should make it into a deep dive topic for another day.
• 22:40
  Anyways guys, that's it for mini scroll today.
• 22:42
  I don't know if you guys could tell, but I got like 4 phone
• 22:45
  calls in the middle of recording this.
• 22:47

• 22:50
