  • Is The Internet Getting Meaner? And, Does Hate Guarantee You Viral Success?

    Is The Internet Getting Meaner? And, Does Hate Guarantee You Viral Success?
    Jan 26 2026
    The internet is full of hate messages... but, can you turn hate into success on social media? On this episode of The Double Cleanse, James and Robert are diving deep into online negativity! Are internet users just getting meaner? James and Robert dive into why TikTok comments feel more vicious than traditional YouTube hate, the rise of "rage baiting" as a hobby and how the algorithm encourages negativity for engagement (you too, can turn a hate comment into viral content!). They discuss the difference between valid criticism and just being an ass and the glorious satisfaction of publicly embarrassing commenters who leave hate with their full name and Bible quotes in their bio. From serial commenters to performative cruelty, nothing is off limits.

  • Begging Your Friends For Support? It’s Out!

    Begging Your Friends For Support? It’s Out!
    Jan 19 2026
    We're diving into a tropic that is guaranteed to spark debate: should your friends and family support your influencer journey? On this episode of The Double Cleanse, James and Robert are sharing their unfiltered POV! They discuss why forcing your mum to like every post might actually harm your algorithm, the difference between genuine organic growth and pity follows, and why treating your content creation like a business from day one is crucial. The twins get brutally honest about the "begging culture" on TikTok, explain why reaching follower milestones through forced support is pointless, and offer better alternatives for building a real community. It's tough love for aspiring creators, but someone needs to say it!

  • Have Influencers Become Boring?

    Have Influencers Become Boring?
    Jan 12 2026
    Our social media feeds are filled with influencer content nowadays... have we all had enough? On this episode of The Double Cleanse, James and Robert are giving their state of the nation on influencers! From "TikTok speak" to how identical brand briefs have made everyone sound the same, James and Robert are diving into how the influencer industry has evolved from exciting media disruptors to predictable walking billboards. They also share their thoughts on why certain achievements have lost their wow factor, the natural distrust audiences have developed toward sponsored content and why tapping on products actually makes sense (fight them on this!). As always, it's brutally honest, occasionally chaotic, and a reminder that even your favourite creators are tired of saying the same things!
