I [i]wish[/i] Contrapoints was cancelled.

I'm sick and tired of hearing "Contrapoints did this!" or "People are so horribly mean to Contrapoints!" when I don't watch her videos, nor have any friends who watch her videos.

Tbh, the fact that someone was trying to use the service to troll people with their clown fetish is the least weird thing about it

They also didn't get assigned to anyone specific. Whatever writer was available would respond as the messages came in. And there was lots of grousing in the forums, because clients would complain that their fake partner was saying things that were inconsistent, and the writer would get in trouble for not reading the message history.

It was a service like https://invisibleboyfriend.com/

Which I am providing as an example, because "company that offers fake boyfriends and girlfriends" sounds absolutely wild.

The people working on this project were the same ones writing articles for AskJeeves and shit. And they weren't allowed to get too dirty.

I used to be on a writing platform that hired out writers for other companies. One of the projects, which I was not involved in, was writing texts for a company offering people fake boyfriends and girlfriends. There was a client that had a clown fetish and the other workers would complain whenever they got him because he would try to have sexually provocative conversations. This was in 2011 or 2012, before clown fucking was on-trend.

I'm a square, but like a cool square
