incest! the new influencer trend...
The Island Boys are making out for clout? What has the internet come to!! This week on the podcast Ben tries to unpack the virality machine that has influencers stooping to the lowest lows for clout. Ben also dives into the broader topic of how the internet's ability to have a creator blow up at the speed of light lends itself to creators going desperate measures to secure a bag.

Honestly incest has been a thing for a while especially with the incest tropes in anime which idk why it exists but it shouldn’t even at all like idc if it’s legal in Japan it doesn’t make it okay because that is gross but I’m glad that the anime community does see an issue about this and are calling it out

One: drop that bitch Two: I dated the new boy Auden and I went on vacation a couple days into dating and I missed school I come back all my friends are saying Auden and my “2nd best friend” Hailey where flirting with each other I yell at Hailey then blow it off because everyone said it was just her flirting then I got sick like 2 weeks later and missed a day came back people said they where both flirting all this time he swore he didn’t flirt with her or like her. I break up with him a school dance was coming up in like 2-3 weeks so I was a little sad I didn’t have a date 2 weeks later I ask a boy to go he is now my boyfriend but he said yes and then my other friend comes up and tells me “ Hailey told me not to tell you but her and Auden have been dating since the day after you broke up@ even though I had a boyfriend this broke me and I was crying and I wrote a very strongly worded letter to Auden then I dumped Hailey as my friend so yeah I get you also I’m sorry for you ❤❤

Hi Ben, so there is this girl in my grade and we can call her Amanda and basically she turned all of my friends against me and she would always just talk bad about me and just basically stealing away my friends to the point where they wouldn't even talk to me. The thing is tho is that she doesn't know that I know that she talks behind my back and obviously it is summer right now but I was just hoping for some advice for what to do next year. (Love your podcasts btw)

WHY?
Drama for you to read in your next podcast: so I’ve had this friend since I was 6 and I am her life priority, you might think that sounds like a good thing but it’s not, her life purpose is to make me jealous or to one up me, I get a miniature schnauzer, she gets a miniature schnauzer, I get a hamster, she gets 2 hamsters, and basically anything else I do she does, she’s also always sending me pictures and even though me and her have been best friends forever, if she’s with ANYONE but me she’ll send me a picture titled, “with my bestie” it used to make me sad, but 2 years ago I found 2 new amazing friends, I basically stopped hanging out with the girl who tried to make me jealous, but this year, be and my new friends got in a short fight, and I had nobody else to hang out with, soooo I hung out with the toxic girl, she told me she was jealous when I hung out with them and I felt bad, but whenever I hang out with her, she ignores me and treats me badly, but if I hang out with anyone else, she gets jealous, what should I do? (side story: the same girl who try’s to make me jealous texted 2 of my cousins, called them b words, and told them to stay away from me because they defended me + she got her cousin to cuss me out using voice messages on Snapchat) I KNOW THIS IS SUPER LONG BUT I MADE IT 1 SENTENCE 😜 ALSO I LOVE YOUR VIDS SO MUCH KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

listening to Ben do a podcast is like talking to my best friend at the lunch table
BEN I HAVE DRAMMA!! I have this one girl i’m friends with. I thought she was like a good friend and I was venting to her how i wanted to have a glow up or sm, cause i lit get bullied daily at school. She offered to order me clothes if i gave her the money for it, Im not allowed to buy stuff online. I gave her around 140 bucks on the card, and she told me she order the clothes a day later… That was in may. It’s now august! My other friend said she prolly used the card on nono stuff and i wanna believe she didn’t do that but i keep asking her about the clothes and she said they got lost in the mail and she can’t do anything about it. (I TRIED TO MAKE THIS SHORTER-)

I'm cleaning my room and got the notification, read the title, and dropped everything to watch
I finally got notified!!! I love your podcast.😊
My Drama: I cut ties with a toxic friend only over a month ago, she was emotionally manipulating, guilt tripping, gaslighting me etc. Towards our cut off, I realised what was happening and just how bad she'd gotten. So I told her. I blocked her on everything and suggested her professional help. But now, she's making her friends try and stalk my socials and get insight from my own friends. She started posting things about our relationship and made exaggerated lies about me, along with trying to victimise herself. What do I do?
My drama: (also I love your videos so much Ben, hope you had a great day!) My best friend recently got a girlfriend and she's been distancing herself from me (it hurts, and I even realized that she never wears our friendship bracelet but wears everyone else's), I don't want to start any drama because I hate confrontation so much so I don't know if I should ignore it or let her know how she's hurting me. Usually a normal person would say "you should just leave her, she sounds like a bad friend", but me and her have been through so much shit together and helped each other and all of this distancing stuff is so sudden and that's why I need help.

When I finally stood up for myself she kept going on, to this day she’s doing the same stuff. Im very pissed about this since it’s still going on to this day.

@@sophie.soupsss just like every other person with that type of behavior, that girl literally told me that she looks up to me as an excuse to get out of how I feel about how she’s behaving and how much it bothers me. They don’t get it and that’s the main issue, i realized it’s mainly due to problems with how they view themselves and I really think they should get some type of therapy for it. This has been happening for more than a year already for me and it’s driving me crazy when I think about some girl becoming a mini me when they even talk bad about me as well. Those types of people are seriously not okay.
