Trying Unpopular Social Medias

0:00 Howdy, Greg.

0:00 Apologies for the delays in posting this video.

0:03 I know it's been a while.

0:04 I do explain later on in the video why that is,

0:06 but I wanted to really quickly announce that I have some

0:08 standup shows coming up on December 11th at Zanies in Rosemont, Illinois.

0:13 The last shows I did were so fun, so I want to do it again.

0:15 And we've got some really funny comedians on the lineup.

0:17 If you want tickets, the link is in the description,

0:20 but if not, then just enjoy this video, guys.

0:22 This one's on me.

0:23 What's up, Greg?

0:24 Look, we all know the handful of social media apps that are popular today.

0:27 You got Tik Tok, Instagram, Door Dash.

0:30 You guys might not think that Door Dash is very social,

0:33 but I like texting with the drivers and I don't know, trauma dumping on them.

0:37 But lately, I feel like something's changed.

0:38 All of the popular social media apps just aren't doing it for me anymore.

0:42 I'm tired of Instagram.

0:44 I'm tired of Tik Tok.

0:45 I'm banned from Door Dad.

0:46 So, I was just sitting here thinking,

0:48 what about all of the not popular social media apps on the app store?

0:52 Surely, there are more apps out there

0:53 than just a handful of popular ones, right?

0:55 So, I just searched social media on the app store and I found a bunch.

0:59 There's an app where you can post videos and go live like Tik Tok,

1:02 but instead of a real person, you're a customized animated character.

1:06 There's an app that only has a thousand ratings,

1:08 but somehow promises everybody who uses it will go viral.

1:11 There's even a social media app for UFO sightings, guys.

1:14 There's a whole world of apps out there.

1:16 So, I downloaded a bunch of these apps and I'm going to try them out in order

1:19 from the most popular one to the very least popular

1:23 social media app I could find on the app store.

1:26 Starting with the most popular one, Zapedto.

1:29 This is an app where you can go live, make dance videos,

1:32 connect with other people,

1:33 except the whole time you are a custom animated character.

1:38 This is the most popular app I'll be talking about in this video.

1:40 It has 465,000 reviews on the app store.

1:44 I'm very curious to see how crazy I can make my character.

1:47 Like, can I can I design like a Smurf?

1:52 Can I go viral as Papa Smurf?

1:53 All right, let's open up Zapetto and see what happens.

1:55 Let's create your avatar.

1:57 I mean, I'll give it to him.

1:58 All these ones look cool.

1:59 And I feel like that's probably the point of this is

2:01 to like kind of look cooler than you look in real life.

2:04 Like you want to create the version of yourself that you wish you were.

2:07 I want to create like a horrible monster that I am glad doesn't exist.

2:12 Uh, why do I feel like that actually kind of looks like me?

2:14 They were like, "We're going to start you off

2:16 with the most basic looking person possible." You know,

2:18 obviously nobody really looks like this, but you can customize it.

2:21 And I'm like, "No, that actually that actually kind of looks like me." Okay,

2:24 we got kind of like a swaggy Peter Griffin situation [music] here.

2:28 All right, after much deliberation,

2:30 I have finally settled on a look for my little character here.

2:34 Everybody take a look at this guy.

2:39 Yo, look at this little freak.

2:41 blue skin, short as can be, might be a witch.

2:45 You know what?

2:46 I started designing him as a joke, but I kind of really like him.

2:48 He's a cute little thing.

2:49 Also, I need I think I need to make a username.

2:51 I think I'm going to name him Baby Bug Bug.

2:53 I made my profile name Baby Bug Bug and my username Baby Bug Bug.

2:57 It also wants me to come up with a job.

2:59 Um, my job is Baby Bug Bug.

3:02 And I made my bio, help me get to 10,000

3:04 followers so I can get back to my home planet.

3:07 Some interesting Baby Bug Bug lore there.

3:09 I'm trapped on Earth and I can't they won't

3:12 come pick me up unless I have 10K followers.

3:15 It's a very exclusive planet.

3:16 Initially, the only reason I wanted to download this app

3:19 is so I could go live as some little freak.

3:21 But upon entering the app,

3:22 I realized you need at least 100 followers before you can go live.

3:26 What?

3:26 Reach 100 followers and start your Zapetto live.

3:29 I can't even go live until I have 100 followers.

3:31 What the heck?

3:32 In hindsight, I guess that makes sense cuz like who

3:34 would I be going live for if I had no followers?

3:36 So, I just decided to make some videos.

3:37 Okay, so it looks like they have trending templates here.

3:40 And so if I just click on one of these, is my character going to do it?

3:45 Look at baby Bug Bug go.

3:47 And I can change the background, too.

3:49 Oh, Baby Bug Bug is getting into it.

3:52 I like it.

3:53 I must have been really enjoying the experience so far.

3:55 So much so that I began to identify as Baby [music] Bug Bug.

3:58 I didn't even realize I was doing it at the time,

4:00 but I stopped referring to Baby Bug Bug in the third

4:03 person and started referring to him as me right here.

4:05 So, I got this video of me dancing in a spaceship.

4:08 I'm going to caption it, "I'm an alien.

4:10 Follow me so I can get back to my home planet." Done.

4:16 It does beg the question though,

4:18 like anybody can go into the app and use that dance

4:21 and just do it in the blink of an eye.

4:23 So, what what incentive is there for anybody

4:25 to like anything if anybody could have made anything?

4:28 Like, it's not impressive.

4:30 It's not that interesting.

4:31 But, I don't know.

4:31 Maybe people on this app are just really supportive

4:33 and they just like seeing the same video over and over.

4:36 So, we'll see.

4:37 At the bottom of the app, along with the options to go live and create videos,

4:41 there's also a world tab that takes you to a page

4:44 with a bunch of different rooms in mini games you can join.

4:46 There's a Squid Game room.

4:48 There's a K-pop demon hunter room.

4:51 And I guess they're like, are they games or what?

4:53 Party game.

4:54 I guess let's go in there.

4:55 Matching me with a player.

4:56 Wait, why am I tall all of a sudden?

4:57 They're matching me with a player, but they made Baby Bug Bug tall.

5:00 What the f?

5:00 Okay.

5:01 Oh, it's just a little game.

5:02 All right.

5:02 Ah, did I get shot?

5:05 Oh.

5:06 Oh my god.

5:06 They're going to kill Baby Bug Bug.

5:08 Run, baby Bug Bug.

5:09 Honestly, that was kind of messed up.

5:11 I don't like what they did to Baby Bug Bug.

5:12 They shot him, but even worse, they made him tall.

5:15 Okay, let's go into M's room.

5:16 Jump together.

5:17 This room doesn't exist.

5:18 Oh, okay.

5:19 My bad.

5:19 It's just that you offered it to me, so kind of seems like that's your problem.

5:23 Yo, do you want to go into M's room?

5:24 Yeah, sure.

5:25 I'd love to.

5:25 Well, there's no such thing.

5:26 So, why would you want to go in there?

5:28 Okay, so I'm I'm at a pool.

5:31 This room seems more chill.

5:32 Maybe I can go ask these people if they want to if they want to follow me.

5:35 Okay, there's people.

5:36 Oh.

5:36 Oh, no.

5:37 People are talking over here.

5:38 Hello.

5:42 Hi.

5:42 Hi.

5:42 I'm Baby Bug Bug.

5:44 Do you need followers?

5:45 You literally have zero followers.

5:46 Yeah, I need followers so so I can get back to my home planet.

5:49 I'm Baby Bug Bug.

5:50 I'm from a planet where you have to have 10,000 followers,

5:53 otherwise they kick you out and make you go to a different planet.

5:56 So, hold on.

5:57 Let me just be a dude demon thing that my cousin wants me to beat.

6:00 3 seconds.

6:01 Hold on.

6:02 You got to be a demon for a second.

6:03 Is that what you said?

6:04 Yeah, because I'm a demon boy.

6:06 That's all right, man.

6:06 Some I go demon mode sometimes, too.

6:08 Oh my god.

6:09 No, literally I'm a demon.

6:10 I'm a literal demon.

6:11 Yeah, me too, man.

6:12 I'm I metaphorically am a demon sometimes, too.

6:15 Oh.

6:17 Ah, [screaming] it's a demon.

6:18 So, I want to try to get like a 100 followers so I can go live.

6:22 Do you know how I like what's the best way to do that?

6:24 I got 103K followers on here.

6:26 You have 103K.

6:28 So, how do you get followers by like posting videos

6:31 or like what do you do or you just like meet people by being who I am?

6:34 I get followers by becoming everybody's friend.

6:36 Yeah, I mean you are pretty friendly.

6:37 I'll give you that.

6:38 You're the friendliest demon I've ever met.

6:39 All right.

6:39 Well, um I I guess I'm going to keep exploring.

6:42 Thank you guys for the advice and thank you for being so friendly.

6:44 Well, those kids were super nice.

6:46 I can't believe that kid has a 100,000

6:48 followers just from like hanging out with people.

6:50 The heck.

6:50 Okay, great.

6:51 I have three followers now.

6:53 So, pretty close.

6:54 Pretty close to the hundred I need.

6:55 None of them have watched my video.

6:57 That's cool.

6:57 And unfortunately, the players in the next

6:59 room I went to were much less friendly.

7:01 Whoa.

7:02 What's going on, guys?

7:03 What up?

7:03 I'm Baby Bug Bug.

7:07 I'm an alien.

7:08 I'm a baby alien.

7:11 Um, I'm going to follow everybody in here.

7:12 If y'all want to follow me back,

7:14 anybody think anybody Anybody think that's cool?

7:18 What?

7:19 Wait, who nicknamed me butt?

7:20 Who gave me that nickname butt?

7:21 Whoever did it, I think they left.

7:24 That's not very swaggy of you guys.

7:28 [music] The next day, I decided to check out some live streams on the app,

7:32 which mostly consisted of completely silent gift battles.

7:36 Is there audio in this live stream?

7:37 Man, I don't understand what's going on at all in this.

7:39 There's no audio and everybody in the comments is just begging for follows.

7:44 Follow for follow.

7:45 Follow for follow.

7:46 Hey, can you guys follow me?

7:49 Let's see if I get any followers from that.

7:51 I bet everybody's going to be jumping

7:53 at the opportunity to follow me after that message.

7:56 Did I get any followers?

7:57 Oh, wait.

7:57 __] Did I?

7:58 [laughter] I have 16 now.

7:59 How did that happen?

8:00 Should I just go into live streams and ask people to follow me?

8:02 Okay, wait.

8:03 Why can't I hear any of it?

8:04 Is it Is this my problem?

8:06 Okay, I'm saying can you guys hear?

8:07 It's silent for me.

8:08 Oh, someone said me, too.

8:09 Your voice is not Audible Girl.

8:11 Oh, okay.

8:12 Now everybody else is chiming in being like, "Hey, wait a minute.

8:14 Why can't we hear this girl?" Nobody thought to talk

8:17 about that before I got in here or what?

8:19 Wait, even the the person streaming also said same.

8:22 Same, dude.

8:22 I can't hear[ __] either.

8:24 I'm talking with my mouth, but I can't hear[ __] coming out.

8:26 Do any streams have sound?

8:28 Let me I'm just going to keep going

8:29 through streams until I find one that has sound.

8:31 What's up?

8:32 Oh, hello.

8:33 Hello.

8:34 Hello.

8:34 Finally, a stream with audio, dude.

8:37 Hello.

8:37 Hi, Fuja.

8:38 Hello.

8:39 What's up?

8:40 Okay, they're talking is kind of just like the same kind

8:42 of discourse as the comments of just people being like, "Hey, hi.

8:46 How's it going?" "Hey, hi, hello." So,

8:48 there's some kind of gift battle going on.

8:50 I wonder if they're I presume they're making money from this.

8:53 I wonder if they're making a lot.

8:54 There's 38 versus six,

8:56 so I don't know if that's like dollars or cents or millions of dollars.

9:02 Do you make a lot of money doing this?

9:04 Bro, I don't make any money doing this.

9:07 I don't make any money doing this.

9:08 It's just a gift battle, but nobody gets to keep any of the gifts.

9:11 Dude, you should come over to my place for Christmas.

9:13 We're doing kind of like a white elephant, but at the end,

9:15 [music] we just throw all the gifts in a fire.

9:17 All right, guys.

9:17 Well, that's about all the patience I have for this app.

9:20 There's some nice people on the app.

9:21 I think the real shining star is the worlds

9:22 that you can go into and actually interact with other people.

9:25 So, if there's one redeeming quality of the app, I would say it's that.

9:28 All right, next up, we got Ziggazoo.

9:30 With 33,000 ratings, Zigazoo is described as safe social media just for kids.

9:35 And I don't know about you, but my first reaction to this concept is I mean,

9:41 don't get me wrong, if young kids are going to be on social media,

9:45 I guess it's good that they have like a safe app to use,

9:48 but like the age for this app is four and up.

9:52 Four.

9:53 I mean, what about infants, man?

9:56 Come on.

9:56 What?

9:57 You're too good for infants?

9:58 Okay, Zigazoo.

9:59 Let's get in here.

10:00 How old is your child?

10:02 Will it actually let me enter four as the age for my child?

10:06 Four.

10:07 Oh, okay.

10:08 Yeah.

10:08 Okay.

10:08 What is your child interested in?

10:09 I mean, they're pretty much mostly just interested in yum and vibes.

10:12 Select a username.

10:13 Be creative and fun and no last names.

10:16 Okay.

10:16 First test.

10:17 Can I put my last name as my username?

10:20 No, I can't.

10:21 All right.

10:21 Can I put a somewhat offensive word as my username?

10:25 Gun.

10:26 No.

10:26 Okay, I can't.

10:27 Or maybe that username's already taken.

10:29 Goooo Gaga 9,000.

10:33 All right, we're in.

10:34 Give the gift of safety on Zigazoo.

10:37 Wait, does this mean it wants me to sign up for premium to be safe?

10:40 Look, this is a social media for kids,

10:41 but you're going to have to pay extra if you want them to be safe.

10:44 All right.

10:44 Okay, you've got basic and premium.

10:46 And with premium, you have no ads.

10:48 You can comment, faster video posting.

10:50 Oh, you can create challenges and 60-second videos and exclusive editing tools.

10:55 All right.

10:55 Well, I guess I'll pay for that.

10:56 I get a 7-day free trial, too, so that's pretty good.

10:58 Okay.

10:58 Parents only.

10:59 A parent is required to continue.

11:01 Please select an answer and press continue.

11:04 Yo.

11:05 So, this is how they can tell who is a parent and who is not.

11:09 Cuz no child, well, no four-year-old to be fair, would know what 3* 7 is.

11:13 But what if your parent is dumb?

11:15 All right.

11:15 So, I'm not going to show any of the content

11:16 on this app obviously cuz it's just a bunch of kids making videos.

11:19 What I will say though is that I

11:20 vehemently disagree with the entire premise of this app.

11:23 Kids do deserve a safe place to practice getting creative.

11:27 make videos by themselves or with friends.

11:30 And I've got great news because that safe place actually exists.

11:33 It's called In Real Life with their friends and their family.

11:38 Why do kids need to be posting videos into the ether

11:42 for strangers to see and judge them at all?

11:45 Kids have a hard time navigating the opinions

11:46 of their direct peers in their own community.

11:49 Do we need to expose them to everybody in the whole world?

11:52 Do we need kids to learn at a young age what it feels

11:55 like to get zero likes on a post that they worked really hard on?

11:58 Anyways, I wouldn't download this app for my kids.

12:00 Also, the app makes my phone like boiling hot.

12:02 So, all in all, I just cannot recommend it.

12:05 [music] With 4,000 reviews,

12:07 Enigma is a social media platform for sharing and viewing UFO sightings.

12:12 Naturally, I want to get on here and fake a UFO sighting.

12:16 Wa!

12:17 We found 185 Enigmas within your vicinity.

12:21 Holy cow.

12:22 and I can get notified when there's a new UFO sighting in my area.

12:25 Okay, medium-sized object gliding in London.

12:28 Let's take a look.

12:29 Let's see what we think.

12:30 Yeah, I'm going to say that is 1,000% an airplane, right?

12:34 Yeah, that's just a plane.

12:35 The top comment is an airport nearby.

12:37 The person who posted said, "Yeah, I think so.

12:39 You can check.

12:39 There's London City Airport nearby." That looks like a plastic bag to me.

12:43 What the hell is that?

12:44 It's a plane.

12:45 Got another one in London.

12:46 Large silver disc flying away.

12:48 Okay, let's see.

12:49 Ooh.

12:49 Okay, this one is interesting.

12:51 Look at this.

12:51 There is a plane in the sky.

12:53 You can see that in the background, but then there's also a large silver disc.

12:57 Let's see.

12:57 Large silver disc flying away.

12:59 Curiously, it does seem to be moving at the exact same speed as the plane.

13:03 Maybe it's running away from the plane.

13:05 It's an alien who came down to Earth and it's like

13:07 looking around from the sky and then a plane comes from behind.

13:11 IT'S LIKE, "OH, WHAT THE[ __] IS THAT?" You

13:13 can see the string on the balloon for God's sake.

13:16 Come on, people.

13:16 This is not a UAP or drone.

13:18 Uh oh, yeah.

13:20 Yeah, I can see like a faint string-like entity,

13:23 but you know, that could be anything.

13:25 That could be some kind of alien technology, a probe.

13:28 It could be a tentacle.

13:29 It could be that thing's dick.

13:30 I don't know.

13:30 Yeah, this video also seems like it might have a string.

13:33 Okay, you know what?

13:34 I am starting to think that it is clearly a balloon.

13:36 Okay, here's one of the audio only posts for some reason.

13:40 Let's see.

13:40 Boomerang shaped object with red lights flying.

13:43 sitting um at this graveyard in a church

13:48 and I'm staring at the sky watching the stars

13:51 and I'm with uh two of my friends or one is my brother, one is my friend.

13:55 Two of my friends or actually one of them I[ __] hate.

13:57 He's just my brother and the other one is my friend.

13:59 Other one's cool as hell.

14:00 And we see this boomerang shaped UFO.

14:05 Okay.

14:06 Yeah.

14:06 I mean that's definitely a spooky UFO sighting.

14:08 Maybe it was a drone.

14:09 Maybe it was uh some kind of spacecraft.

14:11 Uh, why were you hanging out in a graveyard with your friend and brother?

14:15 That's like what I want to know.

14:17 What What kind of person are you?

14:18 I want to see some like really good convincing stuff.

14:21 Where's the Where's the really good stuff?

14:22 Small metallic object flying.

14:24 Okay, let's see.

14:27 See, now I'm just going to think every single one is a balloon.

14:29 I'm like, that's just a shiny balloon.

14:30 It's a balloon.

14:31 Yeah.

14:31 Okay.

14:31 So, the people agree with me.

14:33 The fact that the comments say Miler balloon makes me believe it isn't.

14:36 That along with my own eyes watching the video.

14:37 Okay.

14:38 So, there's some people on the app that think everything's

14:39 a balloon and other people on the app that are like,

14:42 I'm going to believe the opposite of what everyone else says.

14:44 You know, I'll be honest.

14:45 I was kind of expecting to get onto this app and it would be

14:48 kind of just like an echo chamber of everybody being like on every video,

14:52 "Oh my gosh, UFOs are real.

14:54 The government is really hiding it from us."

14:56 But there's a lot of very skeptical people on here.

14:59 You can't just upload a balloon on this app and expect people to buy it.

15:02 Honestly, they're they might even be more skeptical than

15:05 me cuz that first one that was a balloon, I didn't even notice the string.

15:08 I was just like, "Wo,

15:09 that's crazy." I was about to throw my whole life away and go search for UFOs.

15:13 And the comments actually kind of talked me down.

15:15 Does look like there's actually a lot of sightings around O'Hare Airport,

15:18 which is kind of funny.

15:19 What the[ __] is that thing in the sky?

15:21 It's landing at the airport.

15:22 This app kind of sucks to use.

15:23 It's like really laggy.

15:25 I'm pressing the button to go to the comments on this one.

15:27 It's like really slow.

15:31 I think this app is trying to lose users.

15:34 I think they have something to hide.

15:35 Someone said this looks like a spot on a glass window.

15:38 That's actually kind of a good idea.

15:39 Maybe I'll try to upload a video of that and see what people think.

15:43 Okay, I'm going to draw a little dot right here.

15:47 Oh yeah.

15:48 Now that look like a spaceship.

15:49 [music] I think maybe this needs a more distinct look to it.

15:53 Like maybe it needs to be more like a kind of [music] a pillshaped or something.

15:58 That way you can tell it's not just a random schmud.

16:01 Something more sinister.

16:04 Oh.

16:04 Yo yo.

16:04 Whoa.

16:05 Whoa.

16:05 Whoa.

16:05 Whoa.

16:06 Okay, that was I feel like that one was actually kind of convincing.

16:09 Let's see.

16:10 Yo, wo wo wo wo.

16:12 [laughter] Freaking the heck out as this thing

16:15 just kind of meanders gently through the sky.

16:17 Yeah, this looks totally fake.

16:18 I'm not even going to pretend it looks real,

16:20 but I'm just going to post it and see what people say.

16:22 And I swear to God if they try to gaslight me

16:24 into thinking it was a balloon, I know what I saw.

16:27 Oh, it's under review.

16:28 Under review?

16:29 I wonder who reviews it.

16:30 Bashar decided that your video is fake.

16:32 So, we're actually not going to post it on the app.

16:34 Does a physical person have to look

16:35 at that and decide whether it goes up on the app?

16:37 H I don't know if I like that.

16:39 I don't know if it's actually going to get approved now.

16:41 But good news, guys.

16:42 After just a couple minutes, I got a notification that my video was approved.

16:46 So, I went into the app to check it out and my video was clearly labeled denied.

16:50 I don't know why they had to lie to me about it.

16:51 that makes it hurt even more.

16:53 But they saw right through my charade and they denied my video, guys.

16:56 All right, so I went out and I created

16:57 what I think is a much better UFO sighting video.

17:01 Here's what I did.

17:01 I went to Walmart.

17:02 I found myself some shiny balls and I took them to a field.

17:07 My plan [music] to throw them as far as I could.

17:12 So, I spent a couple minutes throwing these shiny balls and then

17:15 I got home and I just edited myself out of the video.

17:18 So, now it looks like was taking a video

17:23 of the beautiful day in the forest preserve.

17:25 I didn't notice until later some object flies by.

17:28 It looks like it might be spherical.

17:30 It didn't make any noise otherwise I probably would have noticed it and it must

17:33 have been pretty high up otherwise I would have seen it while taking the video.

17:36 [music] Next.

17:37 That's my story, man, and I'm sticking to it.

17:38 You could torture me and I'll never give you the real one.

17:41 How many objects did you see?

17:42 One.

17:42 What was the shape sphere?

17:44 Did any sensors detect the UAP?

17:46 What if I was like, "Oh, yeah.

17:48 Yeah, I totally forgot.

17:48 I had my sonar, radar, night vision, and infrared all out, and they saw it.

17:52 Are you any of the following?

17:53 I am a scientist.

17:54 That seems like probably the only one of these that I

17:56 can pretend to be without like breaking some kind of law.

17:58 So, I'm going to say that.

17:59 Okay, here it goes.

18:00 Finished.

18:01 Let's see what happens.

18:02 I'm nervous.

18:02 I want to get some feedback on this one, man.

18:04 I hope it I hope it actually gets on the app.

18:06 And wouldn't you know it, guys, it did get approved.

18:08 And it even got two comments.

18:10 One of them said, "I can't see anything." And the other person said,

18:13 "Good catch." So, after all of that, I have successfully fooled one person.

18:20 And guys, that's just kind of the master prankster that I am.

18:22 All right, this next app is one of the most curious ones yet.

18:25 It's called Waveful,

18:26 and it claims that you'll gain followers and views at lightning speed.

18:30 You'll get unmatched engagement, and you can even make money on here.

18:33 But the weird thing is this app only has a,000 ratings.

18:37 So, like, where are these followers going to come from?

18:39 I mean, I guess maybe there are millions,

18:41 even tens of millions of people using this app,

18:43 but they're all so freaking famous now,

18:45 they don't even have time to leave a review.

18:47 Finally, an app where I can break through the noise

18:49 and become the influencer I was born to be,

18:52 and everyone else on the app is going to be breaking through the noise, too.

18:55 It's almost like there's going to be

18:56 a new noise of people breaking through the noise.

18:58 Well, guys, take a good look, cuz this is the last time you're going to see me

19:02 before I become famous beyond my wildest dreams on the Waveful app.

19:06 My plan is to just make a bunch

19:08 of garbage content and then make a bunch of money.

19:11 Okay, it wants me to add a profile picture and a username.

19:14 I haven't decided on what kind of art I'm making,

19:16 so I kind of just have to pick like a general

19:17 name that could be cool for any genre of content.

19:20 So, I'm going to go with something versatile like uh Swaggy Jason.

19:25 I'm going to save the profile picture for later.

19:27 I'm not ready to do that yet.

19:28 Just picture like a guy named Jason but Swaggy.

19:30 Wa would like to send you notifications.

19:32 Actually, I don't know if I want to allow that.

19:34 If I'm to believe the description of this app,

19:36 it's going to send me way too many notifications.

19:38 Just millions of followers a second.

19:40 Okay, select your interests.

19:42 Fun is the first interested list.

19:44 Now, I'm not actually really interested in fun.

19:46 Pretty overrated if I'm being honest.

19:47 Do they have sadness and boredom on here?

19:49 Actually, Swaggy Jason is going to be interested in authenticity.

19:52 Just the concept of hobbies.

19:54 No hobby in particular.

19:56 When people ask Swaggy Jason, "What are your hobbies?" He says,

19:58 "My hobbies are interests." And then they say,

20:00 "Okay, what are your interests?" And he says,

20:01 "I'm pretty interested in hobbies." Create your first post.

20:04 Select an island to add to your first post.

20:06 Other members will be able to see it and welcome you.

20:08 I have to create a first post right away.

20:10 No, it's like if you want to be a part of this app, you have to post right now.

20:14 And what does this even mean?

20:15 Select an island to add to your first post.

20:18 I'm guessing these are kind of like hashtags

20:20 or are these like subreddits kind of music and video.

20:23 Okay, let's just do music and videos.

20:25 Okay, so there's also a media gallery so

20:27 I can choose other people's images to upload.

20:30 Are these all AI images as well?

20:32 They kind of look like it.

20:33 Man, this really does make being a creator easy.

20:35 I can just post somebody else's image.

20:37 Still can't tell if that's AI.

20:39 And I can caption it.

20:40 Wo!

20:41 It'll suggest a caption for you, too.

20:44 Sunshine and puppy dust.

20:45 Who needs a cleaning service when you have this much cuteness?

20:48 Okay, so I can just steal an image,

20:49 autogenerate a caption, and post it and become in insanely famous.

20:54 Uh, I think Swaggy Jason's liking this app already.

20:57 Okay, I posted it.

20:58 So, here is my image.

21:01 And uh let's see.

21:05 It already has four views, guys.

21:06 It's been like 20 seconds and this already

21:08 has four views from people I don't Wait, why is my name Danny on here?

21:12 I didn't approve that.

21:13 Excuse me.

21:14 It never even asked me my name.

21:15 Get that out of here, dude.

21:16 I'm Swaggy Jason.

21:17 Okay, now my post has six views already.

21:20 That's crazy.

21:20 Now it's got seven views, eight views.

21:22 Holy cow, dude.

21:23 Me and this puppy are going to the moon, baby.

21:25 12, 13.

21:26 Holy cow, dude.

21:27 We're going viral.

21:28 Look at this.

21:29 What?

21:30 How is it doing that?

21:31 I already have a follower.

21:32 All right, let's check out some of the content people post on this app.

21:34 I'm curious what else is going viral on here.

21:36 Just a video of a barbecue happening.

21:38 Just a bunch of cooked meats.

21:39 That's cool.

21:40 49 likes.

21:41 A picture of roses.

21:42 257 likes.

21:44 What are the comments on this?

21:45 Beautiful roses.

21:46 Nice roses.

21:47 Absolutely beautiful.

21:48 Absolutely beautiful.

21:49 Just a picture of these two ladies.

21:51 113 likes.

21:57 Okay, so a picture of roses had 200 likes.

22:00 A picture of two women just standing there had 100 likes.

22:03 Video of beautiful guitar playing h 28 likes.

22:06 I'm not sure if I understand this ad.

22:08 Ooh, Ruby Doobie is now live in Pirates Cove.

22:11 Let's go join.

22:12 You guys want to get 100 followers a day?

22:15 Hey, go into lives like this.

22:16 Super like these lives.

22:18 People will see that you did it and they will follow you.

22:20 What is a super like?

22:21 This guy is on live right now just telling everybody

22:24 to go buy super likes and that will make you famous.

22:27 So, everybody in the comments are talking about super likes, too.

22:30 If you super like me, I will super like you back.

22:32 Let's see who gives me super likes.

22:34 It also sounds like everyone wants super likes from this guy in particular.

22:37 He's acting like he's talking to like thousands of people.

22:40 I just look there's 20 people in here.

22:42 He's like, "All of you won't stop begging me for super likes.

22:45 It's too much.

22:46 Leave me alone." There's like a dozen people in here just like, "All right, man.

22:50 Sorry.

22:50 Not trying to drive you insane.

22:52 He is shaking this juice, man.

22:56 I think it's shaking up by now.

22:57 Okay, so it looks like you can give regular likes

23:00 and then over here on the other side there's super likes.

23:03 And in order to do that, you have to buy them.

23:05 And then I'm assuming since super likes cost money,

23:08 if you send them to somebody, they get a cut of the revenue from that super

23:12 like and that's how you make money on this app.

23:14 So, it seems like just from my limited experience on this app,

23:18 everybody is kind of trying to trick everyone else to send them super likes.

23:23 Like that guy in the live stream was like, "Guys,

23:24 if you want me to give you a super like,

23:26 all you got to do is give me super likes.

23:30 All right, why would I give you a super like

23:31 when you haven't even given me 10 super likes yet?" Dude,

23:34 my video already has 300 views and 24 likes.

23:38 People are loving this dog.

23:41 Wait a minute.

23:42 noticing some of the same comments over and over.

23:44 A so cute.

23:46 A so cute.

23:47 Cute overload.

23:48 Cute overload.

23:49 Well, I know for a fact there are at least some real

23:51 people on this app cuz that dude who was live was definitely real.

23:54 Ruby Doobie or whatever his name is.

23:56 Since this is an app full of loweffort stolen content,

23:59 I figured if I come on here and make some original music,

24:03 people are going to be blown away.

24:04 They'll have never seen anything like it.

24:06 So, Swaggy Jason got out his guitar and started strumming.

24:09 Swaggy [music and singing] Jason's coming.

24:13 I heard him knock on the door.

24:17 Swaggy [music] Jason's coming.

24:20 He's going to swag on the floor.

24:22 Well, hope that that captivates some people and gets their attention.

24:25 And we'll see how that does.

24:27 Swaggy Jason's coming.

24:31 All right, I'm officially pissed.

24:32 It's been about 24 hours and I thought by now

24:35 I would surely have hundreds if not thousands of followers.

24:39 My song would have rocketed to stardom.

24:41 But the video only has 30 likes and four comments.

24:44 Now that might seem pretty good for my first like actual post ever on the app,

24:49 but my real first post,

24:51 just the static image of a dog has 47 likes and 11 comments.

24:56 Everybody is losing their mind over this dog.

24:59 Posting the same three comments over and over.

25:01 Still not sure what's going on with that.

25:03 Anyway, I do have one positive thing to report,

25:05 and that's that my song did get one super like somehow.

25:08 So, even though people were far less impressed

25:10 by this one in general than the dog picture, there was one person that was like,

25:14 "This is probably the coolest song I've ever seen,

25:16 I got to spend money on this." Also,

25:17 I do have 39 followers now,

25:19 which is pretty good for having only posted two things.

25:21 I mean, I got to say,

25:22 I don't think that that would really happen on any other app.

25:24 So, that's cool.

25:25 I want to figure out what to post next and I'm really having to like resist

25:28 the urge to put a lot of effort

25:29 into something that is going to yield no rewards.

25:32 Plus, I want to see how much how famous I

25:34 can get by putting in the bare minimum amount of effort.

25:37 Maybe if I go into the music category,

25:39 I can look at what else is popping off in here.

25:41 What kind of content on here is getting super likes?

25:44 Okay, man.

25:44 What?

25:45 This dude just posted a static image of his face and he got more likes than me.

25:49 Everybody's saying he took a great photo.

25:51 Okay, I've got this picture of my face,

25:52 but I'm going to edit a little bit before I post it.

25:54 So that way I'm not so immediately recognizable.

25:57 So, let me just do that real quick.

25:58 Okay, I made I made a nice selfie of Swaggy Jason enjoying the sunset.

26:03 I guess I didn't really disguise myself that heavily.

26:05 You can still pretty much tell that that's me,

26:06 but I gave myself a cool little original hairstyle and I made my eyes green.

26:11 Um, so let's go ahead and see if that gets any super likes, I guess.

26:14 Let's see what happens if I suggest a caption for this photo.

26:17 Is it going to know what I'm Oh, feeling devilishly handsome today.

26:20 What do you think of my new do?

26:22 Okay.

26:22 So, yeah, I guess it uses AI to suggest a caption,

26:25 and it knows that my hair is ridiculous looking.

26:28 I'm going to change this to feeling devilishly swaggy today.

26:31 Oh, you know what?

26:32 I should make that my profile picture, too.

26:34 __] All right.

26:34 Now, we just wait.

26:35 Uh, if this somehow gets more likes than me playing guitar,

26:40 um, I'm going to flip.

26:41 I mean, I don't really know what I'll do.

26:43 I guess I'll just delete the app and never think about it again.

26:45 Oh, did it say devilishly handsome because my hair looks like horns?

26:48 The AI was like, this might be Satan, actually.

26:51 So, from what I can tell,

26:52 this music and videos island, which is basically like a subreddit,

26:56 I think, is one of the most popular ones on the app.

26:58 It's got a thousand members.

27:00 In this island, you can look at all posts, or you can look at best posts,

27:03 which I assume are like the most liked ones in the island.

27:06 And this one has 489 likes.

27:08 It's a golden retriever's 15-year birthday.

27:11 Doesn't seem like it has anything to do with music really.

27:13 Okay, look at this dude.

27:15 Blammore the Ambassador.

27:17 Uh, it looks like he is a fellow musician here on Wulful.

27:20 He's got 3,000 followers and he's actually posted

27:23 some music on here that's done pretty well.

27:29 Yo, and then here he is holding $3500.

27:32 Blammore holding $3500 USD.

27:35 Nobody on Wayful is like Blammore.

27:38 Show Blammore some love.

27:40 Posted by Blammore.

27:41 Every time he posts music, it gets hundreds of likes, dude.

27:44 That's how I'm trying to be.

27:46 That's how swaggy Jason is trying to be.

27:48 Oh, shoot.

27:49 He's live right now.

27:50 Join the parlor.

27:50 What does that mean?

27:51 Does that mean I can talk to him?

27:52 I joined.

27:53 Hello.

27:53 Can you hear me?

27:55 Can you hear me?

28:00 What's going on, y'all?

28:01 I'm playing Fortnite.

28:02 That's about it.

28:03 That's awesome.

28:04 I make a lot of money on Fortnite.

28:05 Hey, Blmore.

28:06 Uh, I I post music, too.

28:08 I was wondering if you had any tips on how to pop off on here.

28:11 I know that you you've been doing really well.

28:14 Don't copy anybody else.

28:15 Um, make your own digital cover art.

28:18 Be real with yourself.

28:19 Uh, rap about real stuff you've been through.

28:22 Don't rap about other stuff other people been through.

28:24 Yeah.

28:24 So, I guess I should just rap about my personal life, too.

28:27 Like how I uh like how I'm the CEO of my company and whatnot.

28:32 All right, that'd be cool.

28:34 Yeah, I run a mosquito repellent business, so I can

28:36 I mean, and also I can ghost ride for you, too, if you ever need.

28:39 Just let me know.

28:40 Yeah.

28:40 Well, I I'll uh I'll message you in a little bit, brother.

28:43 We can we can talk.

28:44 Maybe we can do a collab or something like that.

28:45 That'd be cool.

28:46 All right.

28:46 Well, now that I have all that helpful knowledge, I'm just going to make a song.

28:49 Of course, I'm going to stick to Blmore's

28:50 values that made him popular on the app.

28:52 Originality, singing about stuff that I've been through.

28:55 This artistic integrity is super important to me cuz I

28:58 want to put love and care into everything I do.

29:00 Um, but I also don't want to spend too long doing this.

29:02 So, I'm going to set a 10-minute timer.

29:04 I just don't really want to spend that much time working on this.

29:06 You know, I got other stuff to do.

29:07 On your mark, get set, go.

29:09 All right.

29:10 I got to find some drums.

29:14 [music] I want it to be kind of a an emotional

29:15 ballad about my struggles as Swaggy Jason, I guess.

29:20 Swaggy Jason's been through it all.

29:22 Swaggy Jason's been through it all.

29:25 I've been up Oh,[ __] I forgot I'm supposed to be country.

29:28 I've been up and down.

29:30 I've had highs and lows, but I know one thing.

29:35 Swaggy Jason's going to keep swagging, baby.

29:39 Okay, that's the time.

29:40 Time's up.

29:40 I mean, I think it turned out pretty good,

29:42 honestly, for having 10 minutes to work on it.

29:44 Let's listen to the final result.

29:46 I've had ups and downs.

29:48 [music] I've had highs and lows, but I know one thing,

29:53 [music] Swaggy J's going to keep swagging, baby.

29:57 I'm a CEO.

29:57 [music] I'll make a million dollar.

30:02 And I know one thing, Swag, [music] baby.

30:06 All right.

30:06 Well, I feel pretty good about posting this.

30:07 I'm going to post it in the same island.

30:09 the music and videos island.

30:11 And I feel pretty confident after talking to Blammore

30:13 that this is going to be my most successful video yet.

30:16 I'm going to take a p Oh[ __] Probably not a good sign for your music career.

30:20 If hearing your own music scares you, that's not good.

30:24 I'm going to take a page out of Blammore's book

30:25 and hype myself up a little bit in the caption.

30:28 Swaggy Jason is a popular new singer in the industry.

30:30 Show him some love, y'all.

30:31 And here we go.

30:32 Posted.

30:34 [music] It got two likes.

30:39 Two two likes total and no super likes, by the way.

30:44 And not a single comment.

30:45 Guys, it's official.

30:46 I have absolutely no idea what's going on on this app.

30:48 I started on this app wondering if I could go viral by posting the worst,

30:52 just most lowquality content possible.

30:55 And I guess actually I I kind of did.

30:58 That was kind of true because the post that I have that has

31:00 the most likes and comments is the very first thing I posted.

31:04 Just a picture of a dog.

31:05 And you want to know what has the second most likes and comments?

31:10 Just a picture of me.

31:11 And then the thing with the least amount of likes is

31:12 the song that I actually produced and made originally just for this app.

31:16 Also, I did post one more selfie after this to see

31:19 if I could recreate the success of the first one.

31:21 But this one actually only got two likes also.

31:23 So, I don't know.

31:24 Maybe I'm shadowbanned on wave.

31:26 Actually, now that I think about it,

31:28 remember how quickly I was gaining views on the first few videos I posted?

31:31 Now, look at this one.

31:32 It's just frozen at 33 views.

31:34 I think I actually am Shadowban.

31:36 They're trying to censor Swaggy Jason.

31:38 I don't know what I did wrong, Wayful.

31:40 I mean, I got on here.

31:41 I gave it my worst shot.

31:42 I made bad music and didn't really interact with anybody.

31:47 So, why aren't I famous yet?

31:48 Lastly, we have Clear Social.

31:50 This is the fewest ratings I was able to find

31:52 on any social media app on the entire app store.

31:55 As far as any of us know,

31:56 only three people in the world have ever downloaded this app.

32:00 As far as what the app actually is, I'm not really sure.

32:03 The descriptions are super vague.

32:04 Participate in the trendiest of trends right on your feed.

32:08 Finally, trends on my feed.

32:10 Usually, I got to go to Timbuktu to find these trends.

32:13 Watch more videos.

32:14 Consume less data.

32:16 Don't know what that means.

32:17 Don't just watch.

32:18 Chat with your favorite creators.

32:20 All three of them.

32:21 So, it kind of seems like the most generic social media app ever.

32:24 However, all of its three ratings are five stars, so the people are loving it.

32:28 My goal on this app might be really easy or really difficult.

32:32 I guess it depends how things look once I get in there.

32:35 But my goal is to try to become the most followed person on this app.

32:38 I want to be the king badge.

32:40 I want to be the Mr.

32:41 [music] Beast of Clear Social.

32:42 Clear Social would like to send you notifications.

32:44 Absolutely.

32:45 I'm going to need to know when I'm blowing up on here.

32:47 Okay.

32:47 You can view reals shared by other users here.

32:50 This is actually kind of weird.

32:51 It's like giving me a tour of the app and the only option is to skip the tour.

32:55 There's no like next button.

32:57 I don't even know where I t like how do I continue the tour?

33:00 I feel like this app has such a low self-esteem.

33:02 It's like discover hashtags and watch realels,

33:04 but you probably don't care about any of that.

33:07 You think I'm stupid, don't you?

33:09 Looks like the first video it's showing me was maybe

33:11 posted by the official Clear account and it's got zero likes.

33:16 So, that's that's a good sign.

33:17 And you know what?

33:18 I'm kind of sick of coming up with aliases and fake names on these apps.

33:21 On this one, I'm I'm just going to be me.

33:23 It's called Clear Social.

33:25 You know, maybe it's all about being transparent, being the real me.

33:28 Type username.

33:29 Actually, this is a good opportunity.

33:30 There's so few people on this app.

33:32 I could probably get a really good username.

33:34 I wonder if I could just be D.

33:36 Okay, sick.

33:36 I got the I got the username D.

33:38 I like that it really zoomed in on my picture.

33:40 It was not that zoomed in when I took it.

33:42 All right, well, let's explore what videos are on my feed.

33:44 Okay, we got like a baseball cool baseball video with zero likes.

33:48 We got Whoa, a guy riding around on a motorized recliner with zero likes.

33:54 A like and two comments.

33:56 Seems like the vast majority of videos on this app

33:59 have either like zero or one or two likes.

34:02 The most followed person I've been able to find so far is this dude.

34:06 Ask Dom.

34:07 And he has 13 followers.

34:09 That's the most followers I've seen on this entire app.

34:11 So, if I could get 14 followers, then I would be the new king of this app.

34:15 Even this account called Trending,

34:17 which seems to be like an official clear social account, only has six followers.

34:21 So, there's not a ton of competition.

34:22 But I guess that also means there's not a ton

34:24 of people out here who are even following people.

34:27 There's also this chatter section of the app,

34:29 which I think is basically just like a Twitter.

34:32 And it looks like nobody's even posted anything on here since July 24th,

34:37 which right now is 7 days ago.

34:38 And then the post before that was in May.

34:40 So I don't even I don't even know if people are on this app that often.

34:43 But I guess there's only one way to find out.

34:45 I'm going to try to create some posts

34:46 that appeal to the widest range of people possible.

34:49 Maybe I'll start out on this Twitter section.

34:51 Can I just type?

34:51 Can I just type a little chat?

34:53 One thing I've learned from Mr.

34:54 Beast, you got to hype yourself up.

34:56 That dude is always talking about how his chocolate

34:58 is like the best chocolate in the world.

35:00 We all know it's not, but that doesn't stop him from saying

35:03 it and tricking 8-year-olds into thinking it.

35:05 So, I'm just going to post, "Hey guys, I'm new here.

35:07 Follow me to see some incredible stuff." Really hyping myself up here.

35:11 Okay, post.

35:12 After I made that post, I decided to take a break for a couple days.

35:15 And when I say a couple days, I mean more like a month and a half.

35:18 And when I say I decided to take a break, I mean I had a baby.

35:21 [music] So surprise, I have two kids now.

35:24 So I've been pretty dadpilled the last month,

35:26 not really thinking much about Clear Social.

35:28 I decided to open it up for the first time today

35:30 to the bitter realization that that post did not really work at all.

35:34 I still only have four followers after all that time.

35:36 So right now I'm just kind of pissed off cuz it's like I had that whole month

35:39 and what do I have to show for it

35:41 outside of a beautiful new life entering the world?

35:44 Anyway, it was time to get back into Clear Social.

35:45 So I came in today with a plan.

35:48 my plan to become the most followed person on Clear.

35:51 There's not many people who are active on Clear.

35:54 In fact, since I made that post,

35:56 there have only been six different posts in the Chatter tab,

35:59 and five of those have been from the same person.

36:01 So, it kind of seemed like it was going to be

36:03 a challenge to even find active people to follow me.

36:06 So, what I did was make a video where I

36:08 said I would be following back anybody who followed me.

36:11 I posted that video.

36:13 It got zero views.

36:15 Time for plan B.

36:16 My second idea was to just start following a bunch

36:19 of people in hopes that they would follow me back.

36:21 So I scrolled down my for you page and every video I saw,

36:24 I followed the person who made it.

36:26 I went to the list of people following them and I followed all of them.

36:30 Then I went to each one of those people and all the people following them,

36:33 I followed them to the point where I think I

36:35 actually am now following every single person on this app.

36:39 I'm following 55 people and I think that's everybody

36:41 who's ever had any kind of interaction on this app.

36:44 I followed every commenter, every follower, every poster.

36:48 So, if I wasn't going to become the most followed person on the app,

36:50 I will at least become the most following person on this app.

36:53 And you know what?

36:54 My plan kind of worked because I gained one follower.

36:58 So, now I have five.

36:59 It made me wonder like, who are these people?

37:02 How did they discover this app?

37:04 This is at the very depths of the app store.

37:06 Like, I would never have heard of this app if

37:08 I wasn't searching for the least popular social media app.

37:12 How did these people find it?

37:13 It was a mystery to be sure, but I didn't have too much time to think about

37:16 it because I was doing something else at the time.

37:18 It wasn't all good news though because while following people,

37:20 I came across an account that had even more followers

37:23 than the person who I thought had the most followers.

37:25 This dude Aaron has 24 followers.

37:28 I only thought I needed like 15.

37:29 And it looks like I made the mistake of following him.

37:32 Actually, I'm I don't want to even add to his follower count.

37:34 I'm going to unfollow him now.

37:36 He's only got 23.

37:37 So, this is going to be a piece of cake.

37:38 So, there I was with five followers,

37:39 like a fifth of what I needed to be the most followed person on this app.

37:42 And I was running out of hope.

37:44 But I did have one more idea.

37:45 What if I just [music] make 20 accounts,

37:50 20 fake accounts, and follow myself using all the accounts.

37:54 So yeah, I did.

37:54 I spent like I spent like an hour just creating fake accounts.

37:58 And you can see them now in my following list.

38:00 Danny fake account one, Danny's fake account 2,

38:03 Danny's fake account 3, Danny's fake account 4.

38:05 I was having a blast.

38:06 You can tell, you can even see in the profile picture.

38:07 I was having a lot of fun at first.

38:09 Then it ended up kind of taking longer than I thought.

38:11 So, as you scroll down,

38:12 you can tell I'm really starting to get bored with the process.

38:14 But eventually, I I perked back up again.

38:16 And by account number 20, I did it.

38:19 I was happy again because I knew that after I followed myself 20 times,

38:23 I now have 25 followers on the Clear app.

38:26 I am the most followed person that I've seen.

38:29 And I've I think I've pretty much seen everybody on there.

38:31 So, and I actually thought that that guy had

38:33 24 followers cuz I didn't realize I was following him.

38:36 So, he actually I actually have two more followers than him now.

38:39 So, for the first time in my social media career,

38:42 I've uh I've accomplished something pretty special.

38:44 I've become the most followed person on a social media app.

38:48 I am the king batch.

38:49 I am the Mr.

38:50 Beast.

38:51 I am the who is the most followed person on TikTok?

38:54 Is it KBI Lane?

38:55 Is that his name?

38:56 I am the KB Lane of Clear Social.

38:58 And you know what?

38:59 That might not seem like much right now,

39:01 but you never know when social medias are going

39:04 to just take off all of a sudden, you know?

39:06 and I'm already in the perfect position now um

39:09 to to to to I'm not going to use this ever again.

39:13 Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this video.

39:15 I just wanted to say thank you guys for supporting me from the beginning
