Jeremy Renner begs to differ. He told me so himself.

[@hannahb2306]

That’s what gets me too. Like, the only difference between it and following the dude’s regular social media accounts is that you’re… paying actual money for the off chance that he’ll acknowledge you. Even stuff like Cameo doesn’t bother me because you’re paying for something personalized and actors/musicians/etc have bills to pay too, but an app that’s functionally the same as any free social media account except you can pay to “super like” things is scummy imo

[@codingiswhyicryatnight]

I knew someone who worked for Jeremy Renner when this happened. When I admitted I downloaded the app to troll, they looked like they were about to burst into tears. Apparently, it was a very stressful period for him and everyone who worked for him.

[@estherstreet4582]

In my opinion this is 100% on the devs for seemingly not knowing ANYTHING about how the internet works. Even putting aside the hilarious amounts of impersonation and shitposting, why would you not have heavy moderation on a space that's just meant for interacting with celebrities? There should be heavy content filters and strict moderation on by default. It's also a tiny bit on jeremy renner too, he looks like a total dumbass for putting his image in the hands of these completely inept devs.

“A freak accident situation” it was because Jeremy Renner was charging his fans large amounts of money in exchange for essentially a depop OF with one blurry 144p video of Jeremy on it that occasionally waved at them. If it were free the trolling would have come off as more bad faith mocking people’s interests.

[@Lucifersfursona]

“Clever individuals were able to impersonate me using manipulative methods” being used to describe “people set their name to mine, and their pfp to a picture of my face, a famous person. WHO DOES THAT?!” The Casey Anthony stuff is genuinely bizarre, though 😕

The first person I saw hyping up the Jeremy Renner app was, hilariously, the bassist for the band Vampire Weekend, who Danny and Drew quoted the tweet of in their video, but he was focused more on how Jeremy Renner was focusing on using the Jeremy Renner app to promote Jeremy Renner's debut album, The Medicine. This inspired me to join the Jeremy Renner app for two of the silliest Jeremy Renner-centric weeks on the internet I've ever experienced. Some of the other Jeremaniacs and Rennheads took to the music quickly, praising Jeremy Renner's vocal performance on Jeremy Renner's many posts about it on the official Jeremy Renner app, but (and no offense to Jeremy Renner) I found Jeremy Renner's debut album, The Medicine, to be largely derivative of Imagine Dragons, with songs like "The Main Attraction" by Jeremy Renner, following that anthemic "white guy scream-singing" that seems like it was genetically engineered in a lab to sell trucks.

These celeb interaction apps were always strange. I never got why people would even join them. It goes off the idea that fans would be "closer" to their fav celebrity but if anything it feels dystopianly the furthest thing ever from interacting with the celebrity. Its so obvious for most people that its run by someone else and the whole in app purchases feel scammy. Overall the most inauthentic form of celebrity interactions that puts a bad taste in your mouth with the celebrity (wanting that cash grab) and the company running it. The closest thing youll get to a notice is by normal apps everyone else uses and even then most famous peoples accounts are also run by other.

[@godrickstockwell1505]

I can't speak for everyone who would use something like this but I know when I comment on a creator's post or video and they interact with it, or at least appear to, I get a little dopamine rush. Now imagine being in a pool small enough that there's a more likely chance that creator will see your stuff and praise you for it. At our core we all want to feel like the people we admire value us, even if that value is just paying some intern to randomly hand out a thumbs up.

It's not just some fan club, it's an app designed to prey on the wallets of emotionally unstable people. Which I mean, I guess most mobile apps are like that, but that doesn't make it any better.

[@Darkfyyre]

@@siegwardinspirit i definitely feel like the two aren't mutually exclusive. it absolutely was a lazy cashgrab, and this definitely was inevitable as a direct result of the app developers' laziness and lack of care. having said that, to the users and fans, it was also a special place, and they were just minding their own business, and some might even have been aware that the app in concept sucked but the fun they were having was harmless enough. therefore, when the shitstorm kicked off, it was the ending the app deserved, but not an experience the users deserved. i've also heard that employees and moderators struggling to deal with the trolling had a very stressful time, and that sucks. basically, it's both. the app was bad, in concept and execution. it didn't deserve to exist. it preyed on the parasocial relationship, and Renner holds part of that blame. but, the fans are both victims of the app preying on them, and victims of the trolling, and i don't ascribe to the callous opinion that they deserved it for being stupid or cringe or whatever just because their niche interest doesn't appeal to everyone. the only people who walked away from this feeling great were the trolls, and the un-invested audience enjoying the show. i can admit that i find some of those trolling posts very funny! and they were. but i can also feel empathetic towards the people who were just chilling out, using the app as intended. i just feel like the nuances of this situation are being very overlooked, and that's a shame.

[@Davvg]

⁠@@Darkfyyrecall me cynical, but the employees and moderators absolutely had it coming. They took a job at a company that was entirely built around exploiting vulnerable people. I understand that people gotta make ends meet but that doesn’t absolve them of them of all responsibility. The fans didn’t deserve mockery, but I genuinely believe that internet trolls mocking the fans is less damaging that what Renner was doing to them by having this app and intentionally perpetuating parasocial relationships, though I’m sure the people who were victimized by this app don’t see it that way.

[@heather9140]

i vaguely remember danny gonzalez’s video about this back in the day omg. clicked on this immediately thank you

wow! your makeup in this video is beautiful, you have such a lovely and original style!!

[@archermadsen7744]

God damn, uploaded 23 seconds ago. You're content is great Izzzy! Edit: Your work is so important, please keep documenting internet history. This legitimately feels like a professional field 5 of study; documenting and examining internet culture and history.

you know what? this went a lot better than i thought it would

[@hyacinth-c7s]

me and my ex boyfriend were in middle school then and he used it relentlessy during its downfall. it was terrifying, suddenly everything was jeremy renner and i had no clue why

[@xoxolovez]

Time for my annual watching of the Jeremy Renner video with Danny and Drew. 🙏😌

[@libbynightwolf7551]

I love how you constantly make videos about things I don't know about, and in some cases aren't originally interested in even if I did know about them, and make them so enjoyable.

[@lovemochaxx]

dude i’d love to see a deep dive on free realms!! i’ve seen it mentioned in a few of your videos and i was a diehard fan, and since it shut down it almost perfectly fits the theme of the channel!

[@iramwoods3126]

Wait whaaaaat!? Omg i had no idea of this whole situation happening? when i first read about a Jeremy Renner app like weeks ago i thought it was just a joke, turns out it wasn't and this whole disaster unleashed and i actually used to be a huge fan of him like 11 years ago and during the Avengers golden era and he was my favourite and everything, then the hype died down and i lost track of him so i had no idea, but thank you for talking about this!

[@Jordaninspace]

I can't believe you held yourself back from saying "but that's just a theory...a GAME theory"

[@doobedoobeedowaaa4615]

if your curious about Neo-Ned, I highly recommend Kenny JD’s review of it, if you haven’t already seen it. also recommend just watching her entire channel.

[@irkalla100]

I almost snorted my tea out my nose at the evil twin! This whole thing flew under my radar somehow.

[@katharinefirth4795]

Finally got the time to watch this video!! Super enjoyable!! I loved Danny and Drew's original one, but you brought some other really interesting info to the table. Hope you are well and that you have a good week! Love the outfit btw :D

[@ObsidianNebula00]

Your outfits are always incredible but this one is so stunning! Your looks are always a highlight of your already wonderful videos

[@pastel-sunrise]

Man Squarespace really was the perfect sponsor for this. It's always kidna fun when a sponsor matches well to the video topic. I think this might be the first time I've seen it for SS.

[@Lurkimus]

This is the first I've heard of this app/ drama and your video had me cry-laughing at work

[@ghoststil]

The fact that this wasn’t posted on a Rennsday is so upsetting 😔

[@SDiazabc]

My video buffered at 0:37 and I wasn’t paying attention and hallucinated that they were just standing still and slooooooowly zooming on.

[@jessaminemanchester]

In this current age of biopics and more specifically brand/IP biopics I truly hope we someday get a self-serious The Social Network style of film about the rise and fall of the Jeremy Renner app that sweeps at the Oscars

[@l_rob420]

the tagline will be “he will be looking at porno on his computer”

[@jolynelovemail]

It's so wild coming back to this video knowing that Disney itself actually had a hand in the death of the Jeremy Renner app

[@helenajeyne]

I always adore your creative looks but I think this one is my favourite! I aspire to have your level of swag

[@AaronL0905]

I think about the jeremy renner "Nasty! Not cool" message every day but never knew of it's origin tbh

[@the_makers_ruin]

This is a great video! And I understand your logic about how the app could have limited names to prevent impersonation, but as an app developer I do want to say this is probably not good practice. Celebrities do not have a monopoly on names. You have to be able to assume that someone out there could be named Jeremy Renner, with no relation to the celebrity save sharing the same first/last name. That said, there are ways they could have prevented impersonation! Moderation, like you suggested, could root out anyone who uses that name + his likeness as impersonators. Also, they could have made some unique identifier for the actual Jeremy Renner, like how twitter used to use blue checkmarks for verified celebrities (before twitter blue wrecked that).

[@BRIANNA_00]

Your style is SO good omfg I wish i could pull that kind of look off

[@Rain_boot]

I literally watched the collab with Drew and Danny yesterday, so this video totally came at the best time 😭

[@visage331]

I want to know if there's a married couple out there that met on the Jeremy Renner app

[@marvthemartian001]

Yeah me and your mom

[@Octtinkk]

Have you covered School of dragons? It’s fairly simple on its own but multiple KZbinrs have come out about it literally taking over their life, and I haven’t seen anyone talk about it, even after its shutdown. (Also the community was just- so weird)

Heyyyyy the new vid isn't showing anymore!! I need that in my life now :33

[@Mitchell4892]

This is such an odd app. First time I'm hearing about all this so has been very interesting. Normally I manage to keep up wity strange internet drama but this one went right past me.

[@Ghost-lt4sf]

Greatly recommend the video Danny Gonzalez and Drew Gooden made about the app a while back. Silly poking fun times. edit: ok I commented this before watching and am realizing Izzz mentions the video multiple times, oops. 😅 Still rec if interested.

[@Mitchell4892]

@@Ghost-lt4sf haha yeh Izzy does mention it a few times but, your comment reminded me to check it out - so still helpful!

[@moss_yt]

As a kpop fan this reminds me a LOT of the Bubble app and Weverse. But they have a LOT better moderation. Also they are dedicated to more than one person or band. Being the butt if the joke is never fun, I just hope those fans, no matter how weird I think it is to be a huge fan of specifically Jeremy Renner, weren’t too terribly hurt by the trolling.

[@midsummer_buns]

back in july iirc there was a twitter "migration" to the BTS weverse and there were some really good posts but it petered out. i just remember posting a single image of a parasaurolophus.

[@-Reagan]

A minor celebrity somewhere in the multiverse is watching this video and thinking 💭 Hey! That’s just what I need to boost engagement with my content - an APP!

[@Heh3lena]

ohhhh woaw so this was a whole thing, I remember Grace and Mamrie talking abt this on their podcast tmgw

[@jamescalvert4471]

Thanks for your work. Always love a new upload. 🎉

[@IsaacW-O]

Nice to see a new upload

[@FKAsocks]

Izzzyzz I respect your dedication to your research but there is one gaping hole that you have left unaddressed. The person who replied to Stefan Heck's "I will be looking at porno in my computer" was not simply a disapproving Renner fan, but was actually Stefan's good friend and fellow twitch streaming partner Jesse Farrar. While I can't speak to the veracity of his love of Renner, JF is known for playing the much hated Marvel Snap, so I assume he is quite the Ren-head. They're the GoOffKings on twitch and I highly recommend their extremely chaotic streams.
