Episode 198: The Dead Internet Theory feat. Strange Familiars (plus Aliza Kelly of Horoscope Weekly)

Let's Get Haunted

SKIP TO 00:24:00 TO GET TO THIS WEEK’S STORY!

The Dead Internet Theory posits that the internet we are all using to communicate with one another is no longer a digital message board meant to connect us across the globe. Instead, what we perceive as being an organic community of humans is actually a wasteland of ads, AI generated content, and bots farming engagement with one another. According to this conspiracy, high level influencers, corporations, and "the powers that be" are purposely constricting our ability to communicate with one another. Join us this week as Nat presents Aly and special guest Tim from Strange Familiars podcast with the internet’s creepiest theory! Plus, we even take a look at Mark Zuckerberg's birth chart with celebrity astrologist, Aliza Kelly of Horoscope Weekly!
