Description

We start this week's episode with a mystery: where did a 17-second music snippet that has puzzled online sleuths for years really come from? Sam breaks it down. After the break, Joseph explains how an online service was scraping and selling Discord server messages for as little as $5. Then in the subscribers-only section, Jason takes us into the world of influencers who are using AI livestream apps, complete with fake audiences, and how they're being used to target women.Long Lost Song Hunted By Thousands Found in 80s PornoDiscord Shuts Down ‘Spy Pet’ Bots That Scraped, Sold User MessagesMen Use Fake Livestream Apps With AI Audiences to Hit on WomenSubscribe at 404media.co for access to bonus content.
