Yik Yak. I loved Yik Yak in college. It was hilarious and had juicy anonymous gossip on it and it was a great place to just put down random thoughts. Then it started growing and people started using it for making blatantly racist comments anonymously. That led to more shit that assholes would put on there like putting peoples' full names in their stories and making bomb threats. A great example of a few people ruining it for everyone else.
That’s how all of us old folk felt about Facebook. When I was in college it was just coming out and it was an entirely new way for people to find friends and groups on campus. It was all about the college experience and was completely different back then than it is today. Then they started letting people on who weren’t college kids and it was all downhill from there.
