Reply girls spend their days trolling Youtube and look for popular videos to influence short replies that link up, where they sit and talk about something random just long enough to have an Ad placed on the stream. The video itself is usually mundane, shallow, pointless, sometimes even random, and often has the girls wearing low cut tops.
These so called Reply Girls have spurned on spit-firing hatred from the online community as rather than creating original, entertaining content, they piggyback quality content for the sake of making a quick buck. Some viewers even went so far as to post Reply Girls’ addresses publicly and urged others to take action.
One such girl even donned the username TheReplyGirl and admits she is probably the most hated Youtuber online. While harmless, other Reply Girls have darker reputations, such as the infamous MeganLeeHeart (Real name Chrissie Barmore), who was known for sending rival girls death threats and violent messages as well as hosting numerous accounts that were deleted due to “commercially deceptive content.” Her and her boyfriend Brian Martin (username LifeInATentto) were subsequently accused of use bots to take out competitor reply girls videos.
While Youtube made some changes to how replies and related videos are now shown in an attempt to remove some of the spam, it still seems that these girls are making a pretty penny. So should these tweenie spammers be banned or are they just picking up on an opportunity that most people missed?
