I used to be a prank fan back when I was in elementary school or middle school, but then I found out how these type of shitty KZbinrs (or influencers) really are a few years ago. They're very entitled and cringey, and they have horrible acting too, and they even act like kids too, and they also clickbait for money all the time nowadays. They just only care about money, and not their subscribers or even anyone, but themselves. and they even beg for attention, clout, views, and likes as well.
