[00:00:00]Trigger warning.

[00:00:02]Violence and adult themes will be [music] discussed.

[00:00:06]Satire and humor are commonly used to help digest strong topics.

[00:00:12]Education and conversation are welcome.

[00:00:16]Viewer discretion is [music] advised at this point. Everybody does it, honey.

[00:00:23]Even your grandparents. Anyway, speaking of y'all grandparents doing stuff, some of y'all grandparents might be on sniffies.

[00:00:31]Child, honey, this is the tea.

[00:00:36]Looks like the hookup application sniffies might be getting some major coin thrown their way. earlier this week. Match Group, one of the largest online dating companies in the world, housing juggernaut dating apps such as Tinder, Hinge, OkCid, Match.com, and Plenty of Fish.

[00:00:57]The Match Group announced it would be investing $100 million into Sniffies, a gay dating/hookup platform geared toward nonheterero men.

[00:01:11]If you're living under a heterero rock or don't know what sniffies is, it's like Grounder's edgier low-key younger sibling. Each month, nearly 3 million users from around the world visit the site, sending 20 million messages from the app sent daily.

[00:01:31]While Sniffies is loved amongst its users who appreciate the app's private and underground vibe, it is it has faced its fair share of criticism. Last year, the app was removed from the Apple Store due to concerns over explicit adult content as some of its cruising style features were found to be in violation of Apple's guidelines.

[00:01:58]Blake Gallagher, the CEO of Sniffies, has now officially responded to the backlash from users who claim the investment will lead to straightification of the app.

[00:02:12]Straightification of the app is is what they say. And I can show you, honey, I I looked myself just to see, you know, just just to do my my due diligence.

[00:02:25]And yeah, honey. Um, all of these apps that you see on there, honey, as risque as some of them may be, baby, sniffies ain't an option.

[00:02:43]Sniffies ain't an option, love.

[00:02:48]And some of the mess that y'all just seen float on the screen. And y'all know how messy social media can be, honey.

[00:02:56]Especially how explicit social media can be. Honey, people are right now having lawsuits, like huge lawsuits, multi-million dollar lawsuits with tens, dozens of complaints, honey, on video games, like Roblox because it's too explicit and it's leading kids down the wrong path. But I think a lot of y'all be forgetting that kids have access to places like Brder and Jacks and Sniffies as well.

[00:03:37]And if you new here, I personally think it's disgusting. I don't have on no makeup today. Y'all always asking me about my skin care routine. So, right now, I'm using this this Meta Cube. Can y'all see her, baby? She smells very medical, baby. Honey, she's she smell like she'll clean the gristle off your chicken. We trying the Meta Cube. So far, I like it. Um, you know, the children think that I got filters on and stuff. So, feeling clean, looking clean.

[00:04:08]The glass skin set, if you want to get some, it's links in the description to get them on sale to to get them for cheap. And if you just want to try the cleans or if you want to start small in the description of this video. Yeah.

[00:04:22]Yeah. Yeah. Click click click.

[00:04:25]People will find a way to be runchy and hook up. Grinder was already nasty enough. Um all of that that whole Tinder hookup culture has leaked into all of the dating apps, especially the gay ones. Sniffies wasn't needed.

[00:04:44]Baby Sniffies is the type of place where you could literally run a pedal rink.

[00:04:53]And for whatever reason, there are queer people supposedly. Keep in mind that a lot of the people who want to be on non- encrypted apps, honey, a lot of the queer people who want to be on these non- encrypted apps aren't even us.

[00:05:08]They're they're the DL folks.

[00:05:13]Honey, I want y'all to think about the fact that a lot of the DL folks have had a huge impact on our community when it comes to the sexualization of LGBTQ plus people.

[00:05:29]And I don't mean just DL guys. There are DL women, too, believe it or not.

[00:05:36]Yeah, honey. Y'all know y'all know I move in them circles. Just take a good look at at the type of dude.

[00:05:44]I shouldn't even have said that. Take a good look at the type of person who is creating a huge influence on how humans interact with each other romantically.

[00:06:00]And you said, "Well, Bri, sniffies ain't got nothing to do with romance.

[00:06:05]It ain't got nothing to do with love.

[00:06:11]That's the problem.

[00:06:14]If it's something that LGBTQ plus people need more, it's love. It damn sure ain't hooking up and you can have all the opinions that you want.

[00:06:30]And when you are home by yourself and you thinking of some of your past exploitations, some of your past thoughts, some of the things that you might be currently doing right now, how you feel about it?

[00:06:54]Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm better than when I go through my moments because for me, I'm I've only ever been hypersexual during mental health episodes. And that says a lot.

[00:07:09]Like that that's literally being in a broken place. And that's when I think it's okay to act out sexually. But anyway, um, when I think back on on my times and my moments, they're they're not nothing I'm proud of. I don't necess I'm not ashamed of them anymore. At one at one time, I was ashamed of my hypo my hypersexual periods that I've had in my life.

[00:07:36]But now that I understands it and I'm in therapy and you know being a psychologist and knowing all the things I know about the brain and human behavior.

[00:07:48]Yeah. No.

[00:07:52]Well, it's just a part of my past. But I'm somebody who learns from my past. I don't live it.

[00:08:02]That's all I'm going to say on that
