Season 3 - Episode 13 - The History of Social Media:According to Us!

Before algorithms ran the world, the internet felt different.

This episode is a deep dive into the evolution of social media — from IRC chat rooms and message boards to MySpace profiles, Facebook walls, Twitter timelines, and today’s short-form content machine.

We break down how it started, how it shifted, and how it quietly reshaped culture, identity, relationships, politics, and attention spans.

Topics include:
• IRC & forum culture
• AIM, MSN & early digital identity
• MySpace vs Facebook
• The rise of influencers
• The algorithm era
• Cancel culture
• The loss of anonymity
• Is social media better now — or worse?

If you remember customizing your Top 8 or hearing the dial-up tone, this episode is for you.
