It's been quite the week here at Wine Chats Podcast, one full of freaking out about kids online and then tears over our OnlyFans journey ending.
Here's a little recap of what we talked about on the podcast this week, before we take a journey down memory lane...
Monday, 2 June: The underbelly of Kidfluencing
From viral fame to real-life risks—what's really happening behind the scenes of child influencer culture?
This week, we dive into the world of kidfluencers, the adorable children taking over your feeds - and the dark side that no one’s talking about.
We were inspired by Netflix’s Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing, because when Billi watched it, she was so disgusted, she immediately called Lyndsey to watch it too.
After watching the doco, we were disturbed by Piper Rockelle’s rise to fame, and asked the question of what happens when your childhood becomes content, and can kids truly consent to a public online life shaped by likes and brand deals?
We then explored the real-world consequences of putting kids online and why some innocent videos - like a child eating a banana - get millions of saves.
Plus we chat about how predators are hiding in plain sight, using social platforms to source and share child content, and the disturbing stat that 60% of child sexual abuse material now comes from legally uploaded, everyday content. Yuck!
So, what are we really posting? Who’s actually watching? And should kids be on social media at all?
Wednesday, 4 June:
Well. We’ve been booted off OnlyFans. Yep. Kicked out. Deactivated. Yeeted into the content creator abyss. And it all started with… a bug video. Let us explain.
In this juicy, laugh-through-the-tears episode, we spill the tea on exactly how we got banned from OnlyFans, why we didn’t think we were breaking the rules, and how our appeal went down in a blaze of rejection. But as devastating as all this is - we can't be held down for long!
This is not a story about rejection, rather redirection. About how sometimes the universe (or the algorithm) nudges you somewhere better. And for us, that somewhere is… FeetFinder!
Our new account is feetfinder.com/userProfile/BilliandLyndseysfeet - we would love for you to subscribe to us and get exclusive content that you were getting on OnlyFans!
Featured episode!
As we come to the end of our OnlyFans journey (sad face), we are coming full circle with this throwback, by going back to the beginning. Feel free to cry into your wine glasses with us as we look back to May 2024, at the start of something so fleeting.
Season 5, Episode 8: Our OnlyFans journey
Behind the scenes
Behind the scenes, it's been a bit doom and gloom as Lyndsey battles a never ending headache and Billi comes off of three very busy and draining weeks. But we are always happy to be together and create magic for you and we even had a content day earlier in the week where loads of shenanegans ensued!
We can't wait to share all our new content with you and in the meantime, we would absolutely love it if you would go and review Wine Chats where ever you listen - Apple works best (because that's what gets us charting) but where ever you listen, we'd love to hear from you!
Have a lovely weekend and chat soon - B&L xx
