Not My Problem

Somewhere in the world, people are falling in love with AI girlfriends. Children are spending hundreds of pounds on skincare routines they don't need. Hollywood is making films for people too busy scrolling to watch them. And in bedrooms across the internet, men are building caves for marathon porn sessions. These are things you might never have heard of. Things you probably don't want to hear about. Things you assume have absolutely nothing to do with you. But what if they do? What if the weird, distant or downright disgusting things happening elsewhere are quietly changing your habits, your culture and the way you see the world? Because some of this stuff is bigger than you might think. Millions of people worldwide have AI partners. Children as young as five are reportedly using skincare products containing powerful active ingredients, fuelled by social media trends. Surveys found the majority of Brits use their phones while watching films or TV. And gooning has been named 'Fetish of the Year'. In Not My Problem, online satirists Cody Dahler and Adrian Gray investigate the subjects you never thought you'd need to know about. They go down the rabbit holes, meet the people involved, ask the questions you didn't know you had, and uncover why the stuff happening 'over there' might just be... your problem. Six subjects. Plenty of questions. And absolutely no guarantee you'll like the answers. It's not your problem. Until it is.
