        Kinda reminds me of the fiasco with that Markiplier stream a few years ago.

        Something happened with some emoji iirc, where if you reacted to something in the stream chat with said emoji Google used to have some sort of hidden bullshit policy where you couldn’t “spam” emojis in stream chats (and that’s what Mark was using as a voting method during his stream), because it triggered something in Google’s automation that would flag your Google account (the ENTIRE FUCKING THING) as going against TOS and deleted/suspended indefinitely the whole account. Like, thousands of people’s personal email accounts were just locked down with no way for the users to get into it. Mark had to make an entire separate video calling out YouTube/Google for being such fucking idiots and taking their sweet goddamn time trying to fix it.

            From my googling, it wasn’t a specific emoji, but the fact that people were posting multiple in a row in a single message

            Which is still utterly fucking stupid.

              Yeah that’s dumb as hell, talk about disconnected. There are all kinds of slang and folks tend to emoji in response to emoji.

              When it’s not every third word I don’t find it as annoying, just string them all at the end or say something cryptic like 👴🏼🐌📸🌱♥️

        Yeah kinda like when Ian Huntley was caught for being a horrendous pedo and everyone thought it was H from ‘Steps’.
