Summary
The internet was supposed to connect us — instead it’s breeding fanatics, conspiracy junkies, and digital cults. In this episode, Yannis dives into how algorithms, isolation, and endless scrolling can turn regular people into keyboard crusaders and true believers. From basement forums to TikTok rabbit holes, he unpacks the weird ways extremism spreads online, why young people are especially vulnerable, and how the culture of outrage has become its own form of entertainment. With his trademark mix of sharp comedy and cultural commentary, Yannis explores how social media is creating “radicalization on demand,” what it says about our society, and why your cousin who once just loved Star Wars might now be quoting obscure manifestos in the group chat. It’s serious, it’s funny, it’s a little scary — and it’s exactly the kind of conversation only Yannis can have.
