* I want to clarify two points I made here before they're misunderstood as I don't think I articulated them well - when I say both women (Bri & Grace) felt like the other was being selfish and listed why Grace was "selfish" - that was me listing Bri's reasons, those are not my personal beliefs. Also want to clarify that I do believe Grace deserves the "pedestal", I was just trying to explain why Bri might feel like they are always pitted against each other by their audience ok bye lmao!! *The biggest stories on the internet from December 12th, 2024.Timestamps:00:28 Brianna Chickenfry “exposes” Grace O’Malley friendship8:14 What is Alex Cooper's Unwell University?15:23 Selena Gomez announces engagement to Benny BlancoFind our podcast YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18HclY7Tt5-1e3Z-MEP7Jg Subscribe to our weekly Substack: https://centennialworld.substack.com/ Join our Geneva home: https://links.geneva.com/invite/7eb23525-9259-4d59-95e3-b9edd35861a5 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/infinitescrollpodcast/ Follow Lauren on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurenmeisner_/

Much has been said about the fall of Vine, with many commentators and experts putting it down to the lack of monetisation strategies on the platform. However, another important (yet often overlooked aspect) was how the platform treated creators. As Vine’s management failed to take the concerns of these users seriously, this encouraged many of Vine’s top creators to deprioritise Vine or move platforms, ultimately decreasing its cultural influence.
