Hey guys, just wanted to pin this to apologise for a few problems in the smoothness of a few of the zoom ins in the video, I think the file exported awkwardly :(
I'll make sure to get it right next time!
It okie
Quality video as always man 👌❤
People can be raised perfectly and still do drugs.
@@magicfish8213 Drugs can be done perfectly and still raise people
It’s alright. Haven’t noticed yet.
I don’t use Snapchat… or any social media except Facebook, twitter sometimes, Reddit, and UA-cam. Thanks for telling me about this so I can never install it.

Cats also dont approve of Snapchat, we’re with you Mr. Turtle
I remember when the map thing dropped and I hated it bc of the idea of stalking and making it easier to find you. But no one seemed to care. No one seemed bothered by it and that scared me more. That people just accepted the possibilty of being stalked
Oh yeah facts tho wasn’t around during that time but it’s still scary that’s why I have Ghost mode on
Most of the time I just have Ghost mode on I only turned on my location for like a few seconds lol then turned it off 😂
Yeah, my parents get mad at me because they can't see where I am. I was like I don't want anyone knowing where I am
Exactly why it have it turned off
Omg exactly! This is exactly how i felt when i discovered it. Legit gave me mad anxiety when my location was turned on.
Anyone can end up doing drugs. Even those who were "raised" right.
_Addiction is not a moral failure_
*Its a medical issue*
thank you. 💗
Amen to that!
Ugh that’s such a gross comment people make. I know people who grew up wealthy, with minimal life struggles, and they’re still suffering as much as the unhoused person everyone refers to as a “crack head” 🙄
It can be a moral failure if you end up hurting others with your addiction. A lot of addicts end up stealing money for drugs, take out the pain of withdrawal on loved ones, be neglectful parents... Etc. It doesn't mean it's not sad and difficult and a mental issue. But they're still responsible.
@@myheartwillstopinjoy8142 in that circumstance, it's not the drug addiction that's the moral failure, it's the theft and harm caused to other people. Even in that situation, the addiction is still a medical issue.
It's like if somebody having a mental health crisis hurt somebody, while hurting somebody is still wrong and is deserving of punishment, it doesn't make having mental health problems a moral failing.
Being the cause of a moral failing is not necessarily the same thing as being a moral failing, which I think is important because it's stigmatizes the harmful actions rather than the addiction itself.
For the "Anime" filter, I think it was the buck teeth that really made it look awful. The slanted eyes? Yeah, that's an anime thing, but at least they don't have BUCK TEETH. Besides the anime argument, it was just... *no* . If they wanted to do an anime filter, the better option would've been to have the actual anime eyes be shown (the eyes anime is actually known for), or the various anime emotion eyes (like >
it's so obvious what they were going for with the filter based off of the buck teeth.. anime my ass lmao
"anime"
racism more like
Anime is so mainstream right now that this definitely doesn't seem like a mistake from out of touch old people. Definitely an excuse.
Im not defending it, but do keep in mind that people can make filters for others to use.
@@junko82753 But then why would Snapchat themselves defend it with a poor excuse if they didn't make it?
The Snapchat Dismoprhyia thing I sorta feel. I hate how my camera doesn't show how I actually look. (I'm black) it makes my skin look gray, makes my features morphed and different. And it does not look like how I feel I look irl, I use a filter to look like idk not gray, and to put back my more orangy undertone. But I try my hardest to make aure it doesn't change my face too much. I love myself but I feel like some cameras really fuck up my face.
Maybe that's all in my head, but it does give me doubts abt myself.
Until I look in a mirror ofc.
Mirrors can really make or break you
They're usually truthful.
phone cameras have sort of an unflattering fish eye effect on their lenses, id suggest you dont worry about how you look in selfies
Your dysmorphia section got me thinking. When I grew up I didn't understand how women had such amazing full hair, long nails and lashes, smooth lines under clothing, a full bust, clear perfect skin, and amazing makeup. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself early on about extensions/wigs, acrylics, fake lashes, girdles/spanx, push up bras, quality makeup, and access to makeup artists. Oh, and photoshop. The late 90's were fun but man, I'd have saved myself so much drama if I'd have known how much was fake even back then!
Imperfections are beautiful!
Watching reality tv in the 2000s actually taught me about this! Crazy how things change.
i remember the speed filter and laughing at it saying I was going 3 mph sitting still.
Technically you are
They also allow (in my experience) men to send unwanted pictures to UNDERAGE girls and boys. I’ve reported the pics and accounts when I’ve gotten them but they send two mails, one saying that what I reported goes against the TOS, and another at the same exact minute saying the opposite. Honestly the only reason I use it is because of my friends.
I don't use filters except to frame and stuff, so a dear friend of mine took one of my pictures and put filters on it.
...The results were *horrifying* to me; how can people stand to present themselves as everything but what they look like?
Gives me the shivers.
Great vid, but I'm only half way in -:)
kinda like makeup innit
@@blackhoodiemusic5873 at least makeup can be an art form though
@@blackhoodiemusic5873 makeup cant cover up the features you have. sure you can exaggerate features, a la winged eyeliner or false lashes, but makeup doesnt just cover up your face (unless youre a full on makeup artist). Whereas filters can drastically alter your face such as sharpening your chin, lightening your skin, enlarging eyes. also id argue theyre different in that, you can easily tell when someone has makeup on. its not hard to tell if you understand the basics of makeup. I feel that the only people who feel deceived by people wearing makeup are people who dont understand how it works.
@@LycanKai14 I didn't get angry at all, but I was terrified by a picture of me that my dear friend had put filters on, because I looked...un-real.
It's like it's put above here; a picture with filters on can easily be mistaken for a real photo - as if the object actually looks like that for real.
I have a colored mohawk (and have had so in different lenghts and colors for ca 25 years), but I hardly think someone think I was born with green and fire red hair 😆
Filters just looks so off... As an evil twin or something, and I understand if people get thrown off when meeting someone that they only have seen filtered photos of; then the real human probably looks like the evil twin.
Hope that made some kind of sense.
@@LycanKai14 they never said or implied that you were a bad person for using filters???
Crazy that this barely scratches the surface for Snapchat
Coming home from school and seeing that fox posted is the best feeling ever
Heartwarming to hear ❤️
I uninstalled Snapchat when they rolled out the public GPS location map feature. "What were they thinking" I guess they never actually cared about our privacy hey 😂
I'm not a fan of Snapchat but my sister and friend basically spent all of their waking hours on it. My friend even takes photos while driving and gets mad if someone tells her that she shouldn't be on the phone when she's behind the wheel. ☹
I literally lost a really good friendship of mine cause I "mentioned she was on her phone while driving too much" HAHAHAHA it still makes me laugh
@@nunya1261 Damn that’s crazy
U know it's bad when a turtle doesn't aprove snapchat
This is why social media is coursing a lot of pressure on this situation.
Fox always posts right when I need it!
Okay yo, snapchat is very sinister because dark mode is STILL not available for android. 2023 and they hate android users
BABE WAKE UP NEW FOXAKIMBO VID JUST DROPPED
❤️❤️❤️
okay truly wonderful video but I have a random question for everyone: Was I the only one who thought the snapchat logo was a bell at first? It took longer than I care to admit to notice it was a ghost.
ultimately, i believe snapmaps and location tracking is a bad thing, yes there are scenarios where it could be super helpful, and a great feature, but as a whole it is used irresponsibly and mainly by minors, which is super dangerous, the amount of young people i know who add everyone and anyone to their snaps without changing any location settings is crazy
😏 In reference to the young people purchasing illegal substances online, you said “I was raised *right* “…… when you *should’ve* said, “I fortunately didn’t have any severe traumas happen in my early years, so I’m privileged enough that I don’t feel the *need* for a numbing substance”.
Life isn’t always easy for everyone, mate, and there are *reasons* for *everything* …
"this ain't fair you dealt those cards, i made the most of a terrible start"
really comes to mind with people who day things like that
drug use is unfortunate but most people turn to it from trauma
That Queenpin bit got my sub.
Funny stuff, man!
Keep up the great work!
Amazing video! Keep up the great work!
Whether the filters were meant to be intentionally racist or not, I still think they’re all in very poor taste.
Yooo I’ve been binging your vids all day, how convenient
Thanks for watching!
The Larry arrives and has deemed Snapchat GUILTY
You should be careful with statements like not doing drugs because you were raised right. That was low.
Just like "nah its OK though, everyone can see where I am, no one could ever have any problems with me" is crazy dude
Oh snap! This one's insane. Great video.
I gotta be honest, as an European (Polish) I never thought that snapchat was this big? Sure ppl used it for laughs, esp years back, but stumbling across the information that it's one of the main communicators in America is so wild and unbelievable. Like it's just so unusable for me
11:51 i hate how this is how parents want their kids to look like because they would look "ugly" otherwise...
bro got the sunnyv2 type transitions
I am in high school right now and Snapchat is all the f-ing rage I always see kids on it left and right I dont have snapchat myself and I never want to get it but its just annoying how kids at my school always talk about it I never seen the hype for it honestly but if it makes them happy go for it just dont be annoying about it which most people are like kids are even on snapchat instead of doing their work or listening to the teacher
I am so happy I never got Into using filters and learned to love myself in pictures without them. So many of my friends exclusively take selfies with filters on and have been for a few years now
What's worse reddit or snapshot?, curiosity got the better of me and I installed Reddit and I'm never going back again to that app
Imagine u live in Spain and someone from the US with one gazillion dollars in debt calls u "poor"
This makes me glad that I don’t use apps like Snapchat or Instagram and have never been interested in doing so. I hate looking at myself as is and rarely take pictures of myself so these kinds of apps definitely aren’t for me. I’ve had friends ask me to get either app and I always refuse
Lmao 😂
Lmao it’s good you do that
ok the anime filter is borderline I'd say, but the Bob Marley one is just... disturbing.
Before you jump on me just note this is just my opinion as a domestic abuse victim as well.. Honestly though I feel like joking about it in general is no harm, no foul, ya know? Like for a lot of people joking & laughing about f**ked up sh!t like that is a common coping skill, myself included I'll joke & laugh about most of my trauma except the ones of a sexual nature.. I kno if you're not used to ppl like me it may very well sound hella f**ked up but it's common & doesn't hurt anyone.. BUT joking about it thru specific people, look there's no other to put it that is wong & insensitive...
An Australian firm told Snapchat about their weak security:
"Oi mate, gotta up that firewall! A damn wallaby could hack into your shite!"
"I'm not letting an Australian tell me what to do, fuck off!!"
my least favorite part of this video is the finished product of the door looks way less modern than the old one 🤣
"I don't do drugs because I was raised right"
🤓
👏
Can you imagine how much underage explicit pictures they have? I know at least two teenagers that used Snapchat to do that stuff. Luckily they aren't my kids
there was no need to say you haven’t done drugs. saying you were raised well is rude, arrogant, misinformed, and offensive. addiction is a mental illness, its a disease. it’s not about whether you’re raised right or not.
i am also annoyed over the fact that it somehow indicates people are less than somebody who does not. Even if someone isn't addicted it doesn't make someone a bad person to try or use drugs.
Snap maps is a double edged sword, the fact people can get staked but I could also be used to find missing people
This is your best video.
I defo put it up there with my best
Saying these filters are racist is like saying chess is racist because white goes first. Literally anything can be racist if you look at it with that mindset.
I get snapchat's idea, also get how people saw it as racist. Some saw it as racist because they taught that it Perpetuates racist asian stereotypes. But also a lot of asians are still have slant eyes, as an asian
Im not offended by it,
Really well made video! I got you on my recommended page, and I got to say it was a very good choice to click and watch your video. Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks so much for the support!
I’m glad I don’t use much filters on snap, because I want to seem real not put some filter to make me feel better since I want to look like me,
And I have only people I trust(in person) and family to be able to see my snapmap thingy
Who ever uses it nowadays? It's pointless
Yeah tbh I only use it for friends but other than that it’s completely pointless
I use it for when i meet someone new and need to find a way to connect fast
@@adettessubs444 Same
I forgot about the drug dealing thing. In our town we had a situation years ago (before corona) where barcodes started showing up around town. When you scanned them, you were taken to a drug dealer profile on Snapchat. How this dumbass didn't count on anyone telling the police and then having the police look at the profile is beyond me. His experiment didn't last many weeks before he was arrested.
15:31 What a cliffhanger. I thought you were going to dove into how it was green lit or even give your own theory (mine is that it was a product of groupthink) but you seemed to miss a good opportunity by moving on.
is the video thats supposed to look like hacking at 20:25 just someone pinging a server or is it actually hacking
A broken WHAT?!?!?! A NOKIA?!?! IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!
I always thought snapmap or whatever that was called was super weird, I only knew about it from my 12 year old sister…Wild
It’s hilarious how people blame Snapchat for shit that’s totally their own fault
my friends all absolutely love snapchat but i absolutely REFUSE to use it tbh. i haven't even logged into it in like 2 years i hate the app
Imagine putting dark mode behind a paywall 💀💀
I must be old as the only social media I've ever used are Facebook and UA-cam, I now very rarely go on Facebook lol.
I almost got killed off of snap map in 2020 after my abusive ex bf found me and shot at me 3 times
This is the darkest chapter in The Snappening universe
That why I never use Snapchat *ever*
"You are enough." Except for Ashley, she'll never be enough, no matter what she does. And that goes for all Ashleys. And Amandas. And Amys.
I don't use social media a lot because is kinda boring I upload vids in months because I'm lazy that's why and not a lot of ideas too I still here tho...
This generation has deemed so many things to be racist that it's lost it's meaning. It's actually offensive to ppl who have experienced real racism and not just your hurt gen z feelings. It's become the modern day the boy who cried wolf.
15:54 why does the word anonymity sound weird to me here
Filters are user created though, most are at least
I think the filters were unintentional racism due to stupidity. Except the ‘make you white’ one which is bluntly racist. The speed thing also is incredibly stupid. And I wonder how much it cost Snapchat for the ‘it’s not the media’s fault’ judge. 🤬 Really, they need to get some folks with some sense to review their stuff before they release it😒
Still gon use it
i never trusted snapchat with my whole life glad to know im right not to continue using it
I've never liked snapchat much. Especially since one of its main things is taking pictures of yourself, and I want my face online as little as possible. Still pretty sucky this stuff happened.
I look bad in all pictures 📸
Says he'll mispronounce the CEO's name and proceeds to perfectly pronounce the last name in German 😂
3 1/2 years on a kin...queenpin? I gotta get out the U.S., man. Feds don't play that.

Joseph what now?
How did they have a broken nokia
Snapchat dysmorphia is just another name for body dysmorphia (not necessarily Body Dysmorphic Disorder). We're seeing higher rates of body dysmorphia in younger and younger people, and one of the correlations is definitely social media [insert spiel here about comparing ourselves to airbrushed lifestyles that might not be perfect behind the scenes, yada yada]. Just not sure why we need a new term for it, though I understand the specificity of the word choice.
My name is leo! I had no idea i was a law enforcement officer... The more you know i guess
100 miles pure hour is quite normal
Hell yeah
Wasn't pewdiepie the most subscribed channel on UA-cam?
Yes then T Series came out on top
So I can be wrong but what I don’t like. About Snapchat is that you can see where your friends location is at the time. Imagine if you get HACKED! My foster brother is on Snapchat and with his gullibility he’s probably at risk if this happens ngl.
no snapchat bois.
I don't use dumb apps like this Im missing a hand and I can't take selfies so I don't
snapchat is literally federal, i got it for like 10 minutes and then it notified so many people in my school that I got it, like bro?? what??
It does that when you use your phone number or a different social media account to sign up on snapchat
I only use it to message my brother what makes it so bad? Well I shall find out
Just use regular SMS
@@galacticalovemaybe they cant??
@@m9ddie Ever heard of a suggestion/common alternative?
Calm down.
Did he say a broken nokia phone? What.
It was a burner
My ex used the snap maps to stalk my location, during and after the relationship. If i went out without him, and he noticed my phone had moved (in one instance, i opened my phone without closing snapchat to pay at the bar) he'd blow up my phone demanding to know where i was and why i hadnt told him. He used it to make a point about locations i was passing (can't remember my birthday but can remember the gin bar I mentioned once?? that I happened to be walking by WHILE messaging him on snapchat) After we broke up, i forgot he had access, and he threatened to sit outside my new uni flat until i left so he could confront me. Safe to say, i'm picky with who can see it now!
Damn sorry to hear
she's at fault not a filter cuz humans have free will
what's bad about the map thing is there are alot of minors on this site
I will forever connect snapchat with the snapchat murder... I am so glad that theres finally a serious suspect!
My friend died from Fent poisoning bought a perk off snap 😔
The crying made me giggle weirdly at work and I looked like a crazy person.
Anonyminity
i’m totally not the one who stalks people (only people im close with)
I don't use snap or tiktok
Do you want a fucking cookie
Sorry but once you step into the web and sign up for any type of social media, your privacy is basically no longer and public…that’s how I see it.
Why can’t I find any comments about his mic resembling a chode??
I think all filters should go they r unneeded and u can't catfish
19:30 she broke a nokia
