    The only time I went on Kik was because someone I played Wordfued with told me to join because she wanted to send a photo of her dog and Wordfued chat doesn’t support images.

    She sent me her dog, I replied with a photo of mine, and then she sent me a video of her sticking a hairbrush up her unmentionables.

    So yeah I had a pretty positive Kik experience actually.

      Kick and Kik is not the same.

      Kick is a livestreaming platform, alternative to Twitch which is riddled with gambling and irl nuisance streaming.

        Oh. Well, that may explain why I saw a hairbrush being used outside of the manufacturers recommendations, and not Nazis playing poker.

        Thanks for the clarification.

    Mr Beast smiles as if he only knows that a smile is “when you move the corners of your mouth up and show some teeth”

        He was the guy riding the cresting wave of YouTube enshittification. A lot of the more obnoxious marketing gimmicks - Soy Face, most notable - were pioneered by his team.

        Idk if you can blame him explicitly for a generation of slop. But he’s the physical embodiment of doing literally anything for attention. His mannerisms and soulless self-promotion have become the curse of the GenZ demographic.

          Also massive safety issues and borderline human rights abuses at his weird squid game event which he had direct knowledge off and did nothing about.

            Oh yeah there’s a bunch :3… didn’t he also get accused of running illegal lotteries and rigging games?

            I can’t say I kept up with most of the drama well enough to verify many of the specific claims tho
