ICYMI: RIP Online Celebrity
On the first episode of ICYMI, Slate's new podcast about internet culture, hosts Rachelle Hampton and Madison Malone Kircher make sense of two recent controversies about online celebrities. First, they recap the recent drama around Kylie Jenner\u2019s call for her followers to donate to a makeup artist\u2019s GoFundMe\u2014and explain how it connects to a whole year of influencers failing to read the room during the pandemic. Next, they dig into the reckoning currently roiling YouTube, recounting the rise and fall of David Dobrik, and analyzing why an allegation in a recent Insider report has put \u201cGen Z\u2019s Jimmy Fallon\u201d in hot water.\nPodcast production by Daniel Schroeder and Derek John.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
