*TEASER* The Oreogate Lady Is NOT Real!

In short

A teaser arguing that “Oreogate Lady” (an alleged viral influencer) is not real and is likely astroturfed.

Guest backgrounds

Not provided in the transcript; only a conversation between two hosts/speakers is shown.

Key claims

The account appears fake because it has no real content beyond Suno-generated songs; the scenario described (moms coordinating in a single group chat, real-time responsive texting, ongoing antagonism, and screenshots) is portrayed as implausible and socially unrealistic.

Notable examples

Clicking through the profile to find only Suno songs; the hypothetical “elementary school moms group chat” where one mom screenshots communications and others respond.

0:00Like this actually is an opportunity for Amazon drone delivery to go more viral than a well-placed package. oh so you're you're saying amazon paid her to do it exactly like let's go even further let's take it a step further everything is astroturfed everything is fake she's she's an influencer kind of like oreo gate exactly is it like a it's a it's a total astroturf account like there's no real like what do we know about this person one of these things that like I think got me on the first video and then all it took was clicking through to the profile and seeing that there's literally no other content other than Suno songs but show me a single elementary school where all the moms are in one group chat and all of the communication is happening over a group chat where the person nope where one person continues to screenshot all of the comms in that chat and they're making money off of it on Instagram.

1:01Not real. Tell me, tell me where that world exists, where you have other moms that are antagonizing one other mom for their parenting style. And it continues to happen in the group chat. That's not happening. That doesn't exist. First of all, there's just not that level of connection between people anymore. That's right. Yeah. People can't return. Like all of this is supposedly happening in real time text. Show me a group chat where people are actually responsive. I want to be in that group chat. Where people are actually type. Oh my gosh. I don't believe it. It doesn't make sense. You've been listening to a teaser clip from future commerce after dark, a weekly bonus content series exclusively for subscribers of future commerce.
