About this listen

 Comedians Jacob Hawley and Jake Farrell, hosts of the hit podcast Screen Rot, join James Smith to dissect the madness of the modern internet - where everyone’s a brand, outrage is currency, and idiots become superstars overnight. From online fame to fake authenticity, steroids to OnlyFans, they unpack the comedy and chaos of living in a world that never logs out. Jacob and Jake, two of the UK’s freshest stand-up voices, bring their signature blend of humour and insight to questions that define our time: Is the algorithm killing culture? Why does everyone need a platform? And can you stay sane while being online for a living? They discuss: ◼️ Why the internet rewards bad behaviour ◼️ How outrage, moral superiority, and “hot takes” became entertainment ◼️ The rise of online characters - from influencers to politicians ◼️ The dark side of the creator economy and performance-enhancing everything ◼️ What the future of comedy, fame, and humanity might look like Welcome to "The Problem With" where each week we look into a problem to get a better understanding of it.
