Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Evolution of Podcasting, Clip Culture & Virality

2. The Spiral of Misinformation: The María Yulisa & Mencho Scandal

• The Setup: Chente and his team mistakenly discussed rumors about María Yulisa (an influencer linked to the Mencho cartel boss) being an OnlyFans model who “choteó” (snitched) on Mencho.

3. Data Privacy, Social Media, and Exploitation
