Episode notes

In which our heroes talk s*** about social media.


For our first episode proper of Last Exit on Mainstream, I (Rob Jones) sat down with Jamie Onolfo to watch the 2020 Netflix documentary "The Social Dilemma".

Rather than a scene for scene review of the documentary, this is a more of a conversation informed by the topics raised in the film.

We get into our history with various social media platforms and how our relationship with social media has changed over time and then some of the issues raised in the documentary - Addiction, Surveillance Capitalism, radicalisation, trolling and the impacts of social media on traditional media.


Finally we discuss what we think the future hold for a society so influenced by these platforms and also for the platforms themselves as the first waves of users grow older and the next generations come through.
