The end of year digital wrap up has officially become a staple of internet culture. Every December, social media timelines are entirely overtaken by Spotify listening habits, Steam gaming hours, and PlayStation trophy counts. We love seeing our digital footprints packaged into sleek, colorful, and highly shareable graphics. For the gaming and livestreaming community, the … Continue more
You’re staring at their chat window. It’s 11:30 PM. The status under their name says “Online.” But your message the one you sent ten minutes ago is sitting there with two grey ticks.

We have all been there. You want to see what your ex (or your boss, or that frenemy from college) posted on their WhatsApp Status.

We have all done it. You are on a new website. You want that specific pair of sneakers or that limited-edition gadget. You get to checkout. You pull out your wallet. You type in the 16 digits, the expiration date, and the CVV. You hit “Buy.” And you just trusted a website you found on … Continue more
If you spend more than five minutes scrolling through the political or media side of X (formerly Twitter), you will see the phrase. It is usually nestled right between someone’s job title and their preferred pronouns, or perhaps right after a link to their Soundcloud. “Views are my own. RTs are not endorsements.” It is … Continue more
You spend hours filming. You get the lighting perfect. You nail the transition. You spend another twenty minutes syncing the clips to that trending song everyone is using. You hit “Post,” expecting the views to roll in. But instead of a viral hit, you get a notification. The video is up, but it is silent. … Continue more
