This episode is powered by Inuit Mailchimp, Australia's #1 email marketing and automation platform. In this week's episode, I explore the history of influencer marketing, dating back to the 1930s. I look at how different moments in technology changed the industry— like the rise of mommy bloggers and the introduction of social media— before diving into how TikTok disrupted everything just a few short years ago. I also share three case studies of brands that have done TikTok influencer marketing well recently. The episode finishes with an interview with Inuit Mailchimp's global creative director Jeremy Jones, who talks me through the brand's recent launch into Australia and how this marketing campaign came to life.

Edit: Yahoo bought Tumblr in 2013, not 2023 lol. I misspoke right at the start, apologies! In this week's episode, I explore the rise, fall, and recent resurgence of Tumblr— the microblogging site that defined Gen Z internet culture for years. I look at the site's origins, why it became so popular, and the lasting impact Tumblr had on the social media user experience and online trends. I also dive into some of the platform's biggest personalities, like Acacia Brinley, and popular sides of the platform both good and bad, like the pro-ana movement and the fuckyeah blogs.

In this week's episode, I explore the spiritual-adjacent corners of TikTok like manifestation-tok, tarot-tok, psychic-tok, and astrology-tok, and how this content can lead users down a harmful pipeline. I look at how young people, Gen Z in particular, are turning to new-age spirituality to make sense of the world and how the TikTok algorithm contributes to increasingly extreme beliefs in this area. I also share case studies of users who have devolved into "spiritual psychosis" (an unofficial term) after becoming obsessed with this side of TikTok.  Timestamps: 4:05 Why I wanted to talk about this topic 5:13 Overview of the spiritual side of TikTok 10:30 Explaining “spiritual psychosis” 13:36 Creator case studies 17:44 The role of TikTok’s algorithm Find Dr. Ash King: https://www.heavymental.com.au/  Join our Geneva home: https://links.geneva.com/invite/7eb23525-9259-4d59-95e3-b9edd35861a5 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/infinitescrollpodcast/ Follow our publication: https://www.instagram.com/centennialworld/ Follow Lauren on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurenmeisner_/ Sources: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/astrology-is-at-the-center-of-danielle-johnson-murder-case-but-any-spiritual-practice-can-incite-violence https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-04-19/what-struggles-led-danielle-johnson-to-kill-family https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/woman-who-threw-her-daughters-onto-405-traffic-claimed-to-be-astrologer-i-team-confirms/3384844/?ref=popsugar.com&=___psv__p_49354925__t_w_  https://www.popsugar.com/astrology/spiritual-psychosis-signs-49354925 https://screenshot-media.com/gen-z-news/tiktok-spiritual-psychosis/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jgJZGJWwjQ https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/oct/30/tiktok-mental-health-social-media https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/tics-and-tiktok-can-social-media-trigger-illness-202201182670 https://sxustudentmedia.com/new-age-spirituality-and-spiritual-psychosis/ https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/oct/17/eva-wiseman-conspirituality-the-dark-side-of-wellness-how-it-all-got-so-toxic https://www.inverse.com/input/culture/schizophrenia-schizophrenic-tiktok-hashtag-ban https://www.vox.com/the-goods/22832827/manifesting-tiktok-astroworld-conspiracy-qanon-religion https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/12/fringe-left-alt-right-share-beliefs-white-power-movement/672454/ https://time.com/6083293/astrology-apps-personalized/  https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/01/14/measuring-religion-in-pew-research-centers-american-trends-panel/  https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjbn43/manifesting-is-gen-zs-answer-to-new-age-spirituality  https://theconversation.com/lucky-girl-syndrome-the-potential-dark-side-of-tiktoks-extreme-positive-thinking-trend-198439  https://www.vox.com/the-goods/22832827/manifesting-tiktok-astroworld-conspiracy-qanon-religion  https://www.vox.com/the-goods/23580200/lucky-girl-syndrome-tiktok-manifesting  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8462234/  https://www.tiktok.com/@alliepbackupaccount/video/7357763096598826282?_r=1&_t=8lZJiR5s80o https://www.tiktok.com/@neomudang/video/7147845030022057262?_r=1&_t=8lkuc1M7w6i   https://www.tiktok.com/@jasminesgarden23/video/7148037000959085870?_r=1&_t=8lkuep9Adpx  https://apnews.com/article/los-angeles-infant-freeway-homicide-investigation-eclipse-681f9434051fd80187677b2f67787b3a
