Notes from Chris
Episode 3129
In a world obsessed with gaining followers and going viral, what about the people who want less online attention—not more? Today’s question comes from Serena in Richmond, who’s thinking about flipping the script. Instead of helping people grow their online presence, she wants to help them erase it—or at least minimize it. But could a “disappear from the internet” service really become a side hustle?
