LankyBox: The World of Cringe Content


Side Note: Please do not go and attack or harass these people.

Every single solitary day, we stray much further away from gods light especially when it comes to making content in this day and age. I mean, within the last few years we've seen an uptick with some of the worst yet cringeworthy children's content imaginable. You have creators like uwucutesingle who preys on the gambling craze to coolcatfunhouse that makes terrible movies for children and fails to prove any point on what it actually is meant for. Well, today we have a channel that is literally scraping the bottom of the barrel and that is LankyBox who used to do videos related to music and eventually switched over to gaming/vlogs but everything they do is downright cringeworthy.

The Fall:

Clickbait Cringe & Flatout Lies / Breaking ToS:

I'm not going to talk about his history because it's nothing really special nor important. He was part of the BTS craze wayback when they were popular and would make music videos regarding them.

This first one I figured I would get out of the way is how he's breaking the guidelines. Typically, with content farms being out their all the time breaking the guidelines, they get away with it with some of the worst content out there and LankyBox is the primary example of that. On January 2, 2022, a twitter user by the name of @MrNightFoxx posted a tweet exposing Lankybox for their use for stream materialThey stream their content through livestreams with 4 separate streams all at the same time. Even if it's your content, streaming it once wouldn't be all that bad but 4 separate streams is pretty much the example of clout and attention. Several other twitter users like KreekCraft, VuxVux and Grizzy (mostly within the Minecraft Community) responded to this as well but LankyBox never responded to this. LankyBox is also the reason why YouTube is bad now.

And I'm not talking about just being bad in general, I'm talking about this on a severe level. Any sort of trend that goes on whether or not it's a series or video games, they're going to milk the living shit out of itThere was one video that they posted on January 27 and at the start of that video, they were talking about how they obtained a Pomni Iphone. For those that don't know, Pomni is the main character from the animation The Amazing Digital Circus. For them to claim that they have a Pomni Iphone which is just a Pomni fanart sticker slapped onto an Iphone is beyond stupid and everything they do is clickbait bullshit.

That's not all of it. Most of the time they do gaming videos and a variety of the games they play are target for the younger naive audience. The one that stood out that was hilariously bad was an Early Access Demo of Poppy's Playtime Chapter 3. The reason why this video stood out the most and also the reason why it was heavily disliked was because they used stolen footage, meaning that the gameplay itself was completely faked. The comments underneath that video are quite hilarious. Most of them are from bot accounts and others being young children while some of them realized that the footage was faked. Even worse is the lifetime supply of shorts under their shorts tab. God almighty, it feels like I'm listening to nails scratch against a chalkboard.
