The Cake Pop Cancel Incident
A cake pop creator accused another of stealing her Fruity Pebbles recipe — even though neither posts recipes and the base is just Betty Crocker. The internet turned on the accuser, cancelling her business. Paige's verdict: this is exactly why the patriarchy is winning.

Gigglysquad.com domain held hostage
Someone bought gigglysquad.com and demanded thousands of dollars from Paige and Hannah, who refused and added a hyphen to the URL instead.
