About self-experimentation, monetization and responsibility
Felix Michels — better known as Tomatolix — is a successful content creator and has made a name for himself on YouTube, particularly through his self-experiments. Yet he doesn't seem to know any taboos. Some of his video titles: “I'm shooting a porn!” , “That's what happens when you take ayahuasca!” , “I let myself be cursed [...]”. Felix tells us in conversation, however, that he does a great deal of research and deals extensively with the risks in every self-experiment.
We also talk about responsibility — especially when it comes to drug experiments, monetization (because taboo topics are sometimes punished by the algorithm) and goals and dreams. In addition to journalistic work, Felix also has a big heart as a filmmaker and deals a lot with technology and storytelling.
An episode that we really enjoyed. And hopefully you too!
