In this episode of Girl Boss Red Flags, Erin and Tay break down the TikTok ban drama that had the internet in a frenzy (for a hot minute). They read a hilarious obituary for TikTok written by Erin's college bestie and chat about the chaos and confusion the ban caused for creators.

But it’s not all jokes—Erin and Tay also dig into some shady stuff happening in the coaching world, from scammy engagement bait in Facebook groups to the sketchy ways AI is creeping into astrology apps. Plus, they call out the usual suspects: misinformation, propaganda, and the wild world of online business.
