Sunday Chat: Chasing You, Not Virals

A stranger stopped me in a hotel hallway years ago and asked for a photo. Since then there have been so many more: grocery store aisles, airports, even the line at the pharmacy. People who stopped just to say hi. This week's Sunday Chat is about that first moment, and what the internet has become since. The algorithms, the fake reviews, the endless chase for viral content, it's made so much of the internet feel hollow. But it's also about why a couple hundred thousand of you still show up here every single week, even when the platforms try to bury this video. Tell me in the comments: what keeps you coming back here, even when everywhere else online feels exhausting? I read every single one. If you're new here, Sunday Chat is a weekly series where I step away from the recipes for a few minutes to talk honestly about life, the internet, and everything in between. There's always room for you at this table. 🍽️ All my recipes: www.thestayathomechef.com 📩 Join the newsletter: https://thestayathomechef.com/email-preferences/ 📸 Follow along: instagram.com/thestayathomechef facebook/com/thestayathomechef
