The Psychology of Pile Ons. Uncut with Clare Stephens

Clare Stephens is a writer, screenwriter, editor and podcaster. She’s the former editor-in-chief at Mamamia and host of the podcasts Cancelled and But, Are You Happy? Clare also worked as a writer and producer on the Binge series Strife starring Asher Keddie and is about to publish her first novel, The Worst Thing I’ve Ever Done!

It tells the story of Ruby Williams, a young woman working in digital media who publishes an article that sees her at the bottom of an online pile-on. More broadly, it’s about shame - the way it never truly leaves you, and how we bury it. Clare is here to speak about the psychology of pile ons, cancel culture, what type of people handle being cancelled better than others and the media narratives surrounding public shaming!

Today we speak about:

  • Why Clare chose to go out on her own after almost a decade at Mamamia
  • Public shame and ‘metacognition’
  • How the psychology of online debates and conversations is different to in person
  • How it feels to be at the bottom of a pile on
  • How and why some influencers cause pile ons of other people and use outrage to grow their own platforms
  • There’s no good response to a pile on; silence is interpreted as guilt, speaking back causes more headlines and fuel on the fire
  • What makes someone more likely to be cancelled?

You can pre-order The Worst Thing I've Ever Done (out September 30) here.

What's all the fuss about Only Fans

What's all the fuss about Only Fans

Hey fam! Boy do we have an interesting one for you! Only fans. The controversial subscription based website where users can post whatever their heart desires for a fee that they see fit. There is no limit! Content can range from a cooking demonstration to proper full blown, in your face pornography. And people are making absolute bank! $$$But is it a slippery slope? Australian social media stars seem to be leading the way so we thought it was about time we unpack this new trend that is revolutionising the sex worker industry. We chat pros and cons and decide how we really feel about it. Would you do it?! Oh, how could we forget, there’s also the girl that had a one night stand then had to stick something up the guys butt a week later - and not by choice 😉If you love listening to the two of us unpack life please hit subscribe, 5 stars and share the love, because, well, we love love xSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
