Marketing isn’t selling anymore — it’s psychological leverage, algorithmic surveillance, insecurity-baiting, and data monetization dressed as “personalization.” Matt Bailey breaks open what brands, platforms, and influencers don’t want you to understand: your attention isn’t the product, your behavior is the currency.
From companies faking impressions, to microphones triggering ad sequences, to AI replacing creative value with scaled slop, this episode dissects the actual machinery behind why your feed feels louder, faster, emptier, and more persuasive than ever before.
