Two TikTok sensations have made the move to long-form content. Britney Broski and Sara Schauer have started their podcast entitled, “Violating Community Guidelines,” on which they explore the strange nooks and crannies of the internet.
What started off as features on their Youtube channels, like “Zillow Gone Wild,” has now evolved into a more intense deep-dive into internet culture.
If you’re not chronically online, the name Broski might not ring any bells. She’s most known for her viral meme in 2019 coined “Kombucha Girl,” which is based on a video of Broski trying kombucha for the first time. Since then, the internet star has made waves in pop culture. She’s been featured on countless other podcasts and has graced the covers of Lucid Magazine and Paper Magazine.
The first episode, released on Jan. 10, breaks down Facebook Marketplace. The two discuss random purchases, including soiled clothes, firearms, and food items that oddly resemble video game characters. Amidst a sea of unverified sellers and buyers, Broski and Schauer make a very clear point that, with the great power of anyone being allowed to sell anything, there is still great responsibility. They also highlight the dangers of the platform and almost all things internet.
Culturally, we’ve reached a point in which kids who have grown up spending too much time on the internet are now adults. Broski and Schauer plan to use “Violating Community Guidelines” to navigate their perspectives about the Internet in all of its disturbing and wondrous glory.
