Joey Mills on Dating, Desire & Digital Fame

Aneal kicks off a new series spotlighting fellow gay creators with an unfiltered, in-person conversation with iconic and creator Joey Mills . From starting in studio at 18 to navigating open relationships, online criticism, industry negotiations, and the evolution of gay content creation, Joey opens up about what it really takes to build longevity in a space that’s constantly changing. They talk dating across cities, situationships that won’t die, social media clapbacks, queer community discourse, and the reality of turning visibility into income. Plus: a chaotic Vegas story, a rapid-fire “this or that,” heated takes on creator culture, a 33-Second Tantrum about Uber Eats scams, and why aiming higher in contract negotiations might change your life. This episode marks a shift — less reality TV recap, more real conversations with queer creators about dating, business, identity, and survival in the modern gay internet. Raw, funny, and unexpectedly thoughtful. The THYRST is real.
