Did You Forget About Reply Girls? Let’s Talk About MeganSpeaks 👀

Okay, seriously, did you forget about the early YouTube mess that was the reply girl phenomenon? Let’s go back, way back, to when YouTube was still wild and unregulated, before all the algorithm changes and content crackdown. MeganSpeaks, aka Chrissie L. Barmore, was one of the OGs who helped popularize this chaotic trend of “reply girls” in the early 2010s. If you’re too young to remember, let me take you through the drama. It’s iconic, and in the most chaotic way possible.

The Rise of MeganSpeaks 🌟

Megan didn’t just jump on YouTube and post a few reaction videos. No, she knew the algorithm very well. Her content was strategically designed to exploit the YouTube system to maximum effect. She started posting reaction videos to viral content (Epic Meal Time, College Humor, Your Favorite Martian), but here’s the kicker: her video titles and thumbnails were clickbait at its finest. Imagine provocative thumbnails—we’re talking close-ups of her cleavage with arrows pointing directly at it—all designed to get you to click. And oh, it worked. Big time.

Her videos were trashy (no shame, I love a little trashy content, but this was next level). Megan’s daily uploads were full of quick commentary, often in revealing outfits. And it wasn’t just the content; it was the strategy behind it that made her a household name in the early days of YouTube. Every thumbnail, every title, every word was designed to attract attention. Sometimes it worked a little too well.

The Backlash 💥

But of course, when you make it to the top by manipulating the system, the backlash is inevitable. Megan didn’t just gain fans—she gained haters, and honestly, the hate came fast and hard. People started accusing her of everything from view manipulation to misleading content. Her video thumbnails were a huge issue; some viewers even flagged her content for violating YouTube’s guidelines on misleading imagery. But for a long time? YouTube did nothing about it. They let it slide, and Megan kept posting. The more views, the more money. Rumor has it, she was making around $80,000 from all of this.

Megan’s whole persona was built on fighting back against criticism in the most obnoxious way possible. She’d lash out at anyone who dared criticize her, leaving snarky comments and dismissing her haters with insults like “LOSER” and “Get a life!” like the queen of denial that she was. People began mocking her responses, turning them into memes. Her angry comments? Internet gold. “You fail!” “YouTube loves my business!” became some of the most iconic quotes of the era, often accompanied by screenshots and gifs. People were here for the drama, even if they weren’t here for the content.

The Scandal 🔥

Then, oh boy, things got messy. Megan wasn’t just manipulating views with her thumbnails—allegedly, she and her husband LifeInATent (LIAT) were botting their videos. Yeah, you read that right. It’s claimed that they used bots to inflate their view counts, making it look like their videos were far more popular than they actually were. And to make matters even crazier, they were accused of using bots to flag videos critical of them.

The Daily Dot even published an investigation about the whole thing, diving into leaked chat logs where LIAT apparently bragged about paying $920 for 540,000 fake views. A little fishy, right? Naturally, when the article dropped, LIAT lost it. He threatened to sue, called his "manager" in (which no one believed), and became a meme for being one of the most cringe internet dads on the planet. Megan, meanwhile, played the victim card by crying cyberbullying, which—honestly—was a bit too rich considering she’d been bullying others with threats and harassment for months. 🤡

Memeification of Megan and the Decline 🐸

But here’s the best part: Megan’s downfall was slow, but oh so spectacular. As the backlash grew, more YouTubers and internet personalities started pushing back. You had folks like HappyCabbie and OneyNG calling out the shady tactics, and soon enough, YouTube itself started cracking down. Thumbnails were being regulated, and Megan’s partnership with YouTube was finally terminated. Karma?

She vanished from her old channel, MeganSpeaks, and tried to rebrand under a new name, MeganSpeaksMore, but the internet didn’t forget. She was still under fire for her botting, harassment, and manipulation. Her reputation was cemented as one of the most divisive figures in YouTube history. She might’ve thought she was just a savvy content creator, but in reality? She was part of one of the earliest instances of blatant platform abuse.

Legacy 🌐

In the end, Megan and LIAT’s legacy is basically a cautionary tale about the dangers of exploiting a platform for views, and how toxic internet behavior can come back to bite you. They became internet villains, but in the best way possible—because they were so extra, so unhinged, that they became lolcows for all the wrong reasons. Their memes, their rants, their over-the-top meltdowns are still legendary in internet history.

Megan and LIAT are just another example of how not to do social media, and honestly, they’ve left a legacy that will live forever on the darker corners of the internet. Every time someone complains about a clickbait YouTube video, you can bet that someone will bring up the original reply girl.

So yeah, maybe we did forget about reply girls, but their impact is still felt today. And let’s be real—if you were on the internet during that time, you definitely remember MeganSpeaks.

5. #Provocation or do trolls wait to scare us under the bridge?

Provocation can be defined as the act of provoking; incitement; or something that provokes, arouses or stimulates (Merriam Webster 2019).

‘Trolling’, often wrongly interchanged with the word provocation, can be defined as the “deliberate” act of making random unsolicited or controversial comments on internet forums with the intent to provoke an emotional knee-jerk reaction from unsuspecting readers to engage in a fight or argument” (Drog56, 2014).

As we know, acts of provocation within civic participation and engagement with others, in both online and offline platforms does not come without conflict, and sometimes this can be described as aberrant, harassing, abusing or offensive. 

Media and communications expert, Anthony McCosker (2013), explored the productive role provocation in social media can have, in his research of viewer comments to YouTube visuals of the Christchurch earthquakes and the flash mob performance of haka.  Two events played out in the same country, yet each eliciting a different set of emotions. McCosker (2013, p.215) found that provocation in these contexts lay in the desire to pull together in response, and to push back, often equally aggressively.  

McCosker (2013, p.202) argues that terms such as “flaming”, “hating” and “trolling” become ineffective in sustaining public engagement, and the shift of focus should be on provocation, and its complexities within different contexts (McCosker 2013, p. 202).  This, I feel parallels boyd’s sentiment in her study in online conflict among teens, where she found the term “drama” was used pervasively by teens to describe interpersonal conflict, and where perhaps adults would refer it as bullying (byod 2014, p. 137).  We all know what Shakespeare would say.........

Agnostic pluralism is a political theory conceived by Chantel Mouffe, to describe elements of democratic sociality that are always and (necessarily so), contested.  Mouffe suggests conflict cannot be removed but instead be productively accommodated by social platforms that allow for flows of passion and contested interaction among adversaries. (Mouffe cited in McCosker 2013, p.  202)

Conflict, while difficult can lead to individual change and growth.  This is not to ignore the various ways in which it can manifest into anti-social behaviors such as personal attacks, and repeated bullying with harmful intent.  Therefore, we should be responsible and diligently aware of practices imposed by social media “keepers”, law enforcement agencies, and personal support networks, when theses codes of conduct are breached.

Perhaps the mere fact that we have associated the online term “trolling” with an ugly, fearful, and mischievous mythical creature that comes out to scare us when we least expect, has contributed to the highly negative (and sometimes misguided) connotation of the practice among individuals and society.

Participation includes activism, resistance and conflict as much as the creative deployment of new media literacies and productive cultures of media co-creation encompassed by ideal forms of networked publics – (McKosker, 2013, p. 201-202)

Raquel Ervin was born in Paris Island, the poorest, most crime-ridden neighborhood in Dakota. Although she is only the sidekick of the title character, Icon, she is the actual protagonist of the series. She yearned to become a writer ("just like Toni Morrison"), but lacked inspiration until she met Augustus Freeman IV, a corporate lawyer who was secretly a stranded alien with superhuman powers. This occurred She met Augustus while she and her friends were robbing his home. Raquel convinced Augustus to become the superhero Icon, and to take her on as his sidekick, Rocket. While in costume, she wore a belt that Icon fashioned out of his escape pod's inertia winder, which allowed her to manipulate kinetic energy.

Shortly after she began adventuring with Icon, Raquel discovered that she was pregnant by her ex-boyfriend, Noble. She gave birth to a son, Amistad Augustus Ervin, named "Amistad" after the famous ship that brought slaves over from Africa to America, and "Augustus" in honor of Icon. While her pregnancy caused her to give up adventuring for a time, Raquel eventually became a superhero again.

I love online drama. I love Internet tantrums. I love going down that rabbit hole. Debating which side is the biggest sinner is the hill I want to die on. I love love love trial by public domain.

When you snoop around they get so mad. So why do they make their online drama so public? If you don't want connections to be made then don't put it on the Web.

Free entertainment that never runs out.

Thanku tumblr I'm glad I came x
