About this episode
Like and Subscribe follows Val, a van-life vlogger, and her boyfriend Kieron as they navigate the challenges of digital fame and local folklore.
When influencer dreams meet coastal folklore, the algorithm isn’t the only thing watching. Like and Subscribe follows Val — a van-life vlogger chasing digital stardom — and her boyfriend Kieron as they travel the Delaware coast to capture the perfect content. But as their channel, Cottagecore Van Life, grows, so does the tension between them. When a local ghost story becomes their next viral video idea, Kieron’s search for the “ghost light” turns deadly, unleashing a presence that feeds on attention itself.
