Tim O'Hearn is not your usual software engineer. He is the award-winning author of "Framed: A Villain's Perspective on Social Media", and the mastermind behind some of the most effective — and controversial — social media bots ever created. Between 2017 and 2022, his agency helped clients gain millions of followers and generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue using unconventional digital marketing tactics.
In this explosive episode, Tim willingly bares it all, exposing the rarely discussed realities of the dark side of social media — from how addictive and persuasive algorithms manipulate the average user, to the rise of fake influencer culture, impersonations, fake engagement tactics, clout chasing, and more.
If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes of viral growth, bot networks, and the influencer economy, this conversation pulls back the curtain. Nothing was off the table.
