EP.86 Creators or Clout Chasers? The Race to the Bottom!

Is modern content creation becoming a race to the bottom? 📉

In this episode, my cohost and I break down the growing problem with today’s creator culture. With algorithms rewarding viral moments, quick clicks, and easy engagement, many creators seem more focused on chasing clout and ad revenue than producing meaningful or impactful content.

We dive into how the modern creator economy has shifted priorities from changing the world to getting paid, and why so much online content feels increasingly low-effort, sensational, or shallow.

In this conversation we cover:
• Why the quality of online content seems to be declining
• The pressure creators feel to chase views and virality
• How algorithms shape what audiences see
• The difference between purpose-driven creators vs. clout chasers
• Whether meaningful content can still succeed in today’s attention economy

If you’re interested in internet culture, the creator economy, and the future of online media, this episode is for you.
