As of September 2023, the YouTube channel for Whatever has 4.22 million subscribers and 987 million views.[3]

Format

Every Sunday and Tuesday, the podcast releases a "Dating Talk" podcast, featuring a roundtable of young women, typically online personalities or adult models, discussing modern dating dynamics and relationship issues between men and women.[4] The show will sometimes feature a more prominent guest star among the roundtable, typically one involved in political or cultural commentary.

Reception

Many clips from segments of the podcast have gone viral on social media, particularly Twitter, with one of the women on the panel being the butt of a joke. One instance saw a clip of TikTok personality Ali Lopez go viral along with the nickname "Gorlock the Destroyer" due to her weight.[5] Many have criticized Whatever as being bait for "easy targets" to be made fun of online in viral moments, comparing Atlas's podcast to Howard Stern's form of mockery.[6]
