Whether you're trying to keep pace with the chaotic creator economy from the inside or merely watching on with bemusement, this whirlwind but detailed behind-the-scenes tour will make things clearer while making your head spin. It's told through Ursus Magana, a 20-something talent manager and TikTok whisperer hustling young creators toward virality — where it's all about influencing the algorithm, not the audience. A lot of people 'become successful because of doubt and revenge' and then burn up after discovering that the fame they crave can't fix their deeper problems. The whole thing reads like a slowly unfolding car crash. (🙏 Jon B)
