From AIM away messages to the algorithm, the Intelligentsia squad is unpacking the evolution of social media—and how it went from harmless fun to full-blown industry. We revisit Myspace and THE Facebook, then dive into how platforms reshaped connection, identity, and influence for those of us who came of age in the social media era

Plus: social media’s impact on TV, politics, and fame (The Social Network, reality TV rivalries), and a candid conversation with content creator AJ Hernandez on what it actually takes to be an influencer today and where it’s all headed next.
