Matt Curtis: The Dead Internet Theory

In this episode Martin Moore sits down with Matt Curtis to unpack the Dead Internet Theory, an idea that sounds conspiratorial on the surface, yet feels uncomfortably plausible the longer you sit with it. We trace the arc of the early internet, when curiosity, creativity, and human weirdness defined the experience, and contrast it with today’s algorithmic monoculture, where engagement is engineered, influence is manufactured, and authenticity often feels like collateral damage.
