It can feel nice to form bonds with people we don’t know by
following their lives online! It can also be invasive. On today’s
episode, Rachelle and Madison look at an instance of parasocial
relationships gone wrong as one long-distance college couple’s
reunion turned TikTok users into amateur investigators looking for
signs of infidelity. Why did TikTok give these teens the true-crime
treatment? Did they invite the scrutiny for even posting in the
first place? To read more about parasocial relationships online,
check out Madison’s piece, “John Mulaney Doesn’t Owe You Squat.”
