>the average user on a platform like TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram can no longer discern the difference between a legacy media podcast like *Popcast*, Druski’s one-man Comedy Central on Instagram, Jake Shane sitting on a couch with Kacey Musgraves, and a guy recapping murder trials in his kitchen. Which means all four kinds of videos are held to the same standard, though not how you might think.
