What can corporate work vlogs tell us about the current state of rampant consumerism? Starting off with quick observations on a recent trip to Toronto and yoga mishaps in Montreal, Rosa and Saskia chat about the intersection of economic downturns and the drive towards aspirational lifestyle content, charting the rise of the Housewives reality franchise in the aftermath of the 2008 Recession to our current algorithmically driven lifestyle content in the age of AI.
