how the hell does tabe have 4.4 stars on google

just had the worst restaurant experience of my life there. wildly overpriced mediocre food tiny portions staff seem to have no idea wtf theyre doing. two members of our party got their entree fully 30 minutes before the rest of us (after we all waited an hour) and some of us never got our drinks.

really truly shockingly incompetent. it feels beyond a rip off i honestly feel like we got scammed

then i check their google reviews which has dozens of 1 and 2 star reviews all describing similar experiences to ours. i know the owners have deep pockets owning 168 mart over in madison heights godammmmmnn people figure it the fuck out

He Was a Top Lawn Care Influencer on YouTube. Then Everything Went Haywire.

this is jon ronson's article on greg chism, the youtube toy freaks guy discussed in the most recent episode. imo it deserves its own discussion

having read the interview i genuinely don't know how i feel about chism. i don't think his youtube channel rose to the level of abuse, but what he shared and the way he shared it was very strange and reflected at best a lack of common sense.

i don't recall if katie and jesse have ever discussed the utterly bizarre phenomenon that was elsagate (parent stuff doesn't generally seem to land on their radar) but imo it is a truly fascinating example of the eldritch nightmare that "internet bullshit" can be when the the algorithm becomes completely untethered from reality and accountability and whoever gets the most views wins
