YouTube Description
as posted by the channelKanye West recently accused Twitch star Kai Cenat of being an “industry plant.” It's just the latest dust up in a longstanding debate whether the internet's most famous stars got there on there on merit, or whether powerful figures in entertainment are pulling the strings.
In a business as fickle as online content creation, is an industry plant even possible? I talked to Maxwell Mitcheson, a partner at Underscore Talent about the industry plant rumors and how you can (or can't!) manufacture online fame.
Later, Zach and I chat about the alleged sequel to The Social Network, plans for a new tech utopia in San Francisco, Adam Mosseri’s big Instagram update, and Threads hitting 150 million active users and more.
