We ended last year with a look at the Great Clickbait Wars: how news organizations gave up on journalism and turned to divisive articles about people\u2019s favorite tv shows, movies and cultural events to create chaos and to drive traffic.
While they are still at it, data driven corporations are turning our selfies into gorgeous portraits of action movie stars, sexy cyborgs and Russian cosmonauts while paying none of the artists whose work they stole to create it.What happens when your AI self is sexier than your real self?
Today we look back on the news and topics that shaped our year with two of our favorite comedians Matt Brown whose YouTube channel examines the singing styles of Black divas and Dan Cass who we discovered from his parody of Steve from Blues Clues.
Listen as we look at the biggest villains, boldest heroes, and who we\u2019re busting a nut to this holiday season.
