In this week's episode, we look at the public's reaction to Insider's exposé on David Dobrik and the Vlog Squad. We explore how journalist Kat Tenbarge has been used as a scapegoat for misplaced blame and anger in this scandal, and compare how fans react to news about male influencers vs. how they react to the same information about female influencers.
