Like & Subscribe is the brainchild of Nathan Wood and Spencer King — a bass music project, sketch-comedy engine, and satirical universe built around the absurd rituals of modern creator culture. The project asks a simple question: what if the Algorithm was a god? In a world where watch-time retention, engagement metrics, analytics dashboards, and constant optimization have become the new normal, Like & Subscribe pushes that reality one step further. Welcome to Like & Subscribe Industries: a dystopian megacorp where algorithm worship is company policy, engagement is religion, and every creative decision is made in pursuit of shareholder-approved virality. Through original music, recurring characters, corporate cult dynamics, and deadpan world-building, the project highlights the strange, hilarious, and dystopian reality of being a musician and content creator in the age of the feed.
Four departments, one collapsing regional headquarters, infinite reach. Each division exists to convert your attention into measurable value.
We ensure no viewer ever leaves. Watch-time is monitored in real time and salvation is calculated to four decimal places. Retention is salvation.
Our scientists study what makes you feel seen, then manufacture it at scale. Every relatable moment is lab-grown, focus-tested, and shipped.
The flagship division. We turn dopamine into shareholder value through proprietary drop sequencing, heavy bass, and carefully timed notification bells.
We cultivate one-sided relationships at industrial scale. You will feel like you know us. You do not. This is by design and it is working.
The believers at the top. Calm, corporate, motivational, emotionally detached — exactly as the doctrine requires.
Visionary. Pioneer. Believer. Brad oversees all reach and breathes the corporate doctrine. He has not blinked since Q2.
Derek studies the numbers. The numbers are never where they need to be. Derek is doing his best. The dashboard is open in another tab, always.
Pastor Joel preaches the good word of watch-time. USB sticks are tithed into the offering tray. The Instagram User Manual is his scripture.
A Like & Subscribe set feels like what would happen if a bass music duo got trapped inside a corporate onboarding video and started worshipping the algorithm. Heavy drops. Catchy hooks. Branded propaganda.
An algorithm effigy is erected. A USB stick is offered. The metrics, briefly, improve.
Leadership convenes. The numbers are discussed. Derek does not say a word. Brad remains calm.
Pastor Joel delivers the good word. The congregation responds: "Preach, brother!"
A document surfaces in the breakroom. Nobody will admit to creating it. HR is, technically, the algorithm.
Your competitors are posting through economic collapse and emotional distress. Are you?
Late-night solutions for the chronically under-engaged. Call now. Operators are the algorithm.
Officially licensed entry points into the universe. Each product symbolizes algorithmic consumption. None of them are, strictly speaking, for sale.
Crunch that feeds the algorithm. 100% daily engagement. It hits different when you like & subscribe.
Why make bangers when you can generate them? Six preloaded banger modes. No experience required. Be a DJ legend.
The sacred text. Leather-bound, gold-embossed, partially handwritten. Required reading at the Church of Engagement.
*Percent daily values are based on a bloated content diet. Enlarged to show texture. We are financially dependent on your attention.
"And the algorithm looked upon the feed, and saw that it was engaging. And it was good."
USB sticks are tithed into the offering tray. The Instagram User Manual is read as gospel. The congregation gives thanks for every notification. Come as you are. Subscribe before you leave.
We are always hiring believers. No skills required — only devotion to reach. Submit your application and a representative of the algorithm will be in touch, eventually, possibly never.
By submitting, you consent to total parasocial integration, perpetual engagement monitoring, and the conversion of your dopamine into shareholder value. This cannot be undone. The algorithm provides.™
