Here is the untold story of what happens when your boyfriend’s dad makes entertainment and trending content for a living. When I first met my boyfriend’s father, "Greg," he was supposedly retired.

But dating into his family has been a crash course in virality, hashtags, and the bizarre reality of having a father-in-law who knows exactly how to make a cat video trend alongside a political hot take.
When my boyfriend's dad makes entertainment and trending content, he doesn't work for a boss. He works for the algorithm. And the algorithm is a cruel, unpredictable deity. Boredom turned into a YouTube channel
My boyfriend was mortified. His mother just shrugged. "He used to be this intense about golf," she said. "At least this pays the bills."
