Today my guest is [Maalvika](https://open.substack.com/users/89793569).

Maalvika is an expert on the intersection of digital media and culture - both from her academic studies and experience as a viral creator on TikTok.

We discuss how social media and dating apps are impacting the youth, both positively and negatively, and how a new generation of people can learn to thrive in the challenging environment a handful of profit-seeking tech companies are building.

In my own work, I try to understand how algorithms on social media and dating apps are impacting society. In my latest post, I went deep on how these algorithms have created the so-called incel culture. Give it a read, if you haven’t already, and don’t be afraid to mark your interest with a like or a comment. The house appreciates it.

[The 80-20 Rule in Dating & AlgorithmsSubscriber note: Due to the summer holiday season, Futuristic Lawyer will be off for the next two weeks. Today’s post will be accompanied by a new podcast episode airing this Thursday. Regular posting is scheduled to return from August 5 until December 16.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b5/e0/b5e07497-6dd6-44e8-a973-56d2f53bce27/content/images/2026/07/78506b45-4c41-4e04-9b1d-baff2c8197c4_687x687-184.png)Futuristic LawyerTobias Mark Jensen![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b5/e0/b5e07497-6dd6-44e8-a973-56d2f53bce27/content/images/2026/07/41485448-2381-4a6d-8dc6-4695449c9398_804x402-jpeg-2.jpg)](https://www.futuristiclawyer.com/p/the-80-20-rule-in-dating-and-algorithms)

In my talk with Maalvika I was particularly interested in learning more about what these issues look like from a feminine perspective, and from someone who speaks the language of Generation Z.
