This review will explain everything you need to know about 9gag. The main administrator who hand picks most of the featured (hot) posts is a sociopath. He has serious mommy issues, having been abandoned by his mother he became an emotionally stunted child which led him to develop sociopath behaviors:
1 - Parasitism: being emotionally handicapped he doesn't have the creative skills to come up with content so resorts to copying from other platforms and taking credit for the posts that you guys create.
2 - Lack of empathy and remorse: all its content targets females, black people, disabled individuals or some other less powerful group to pick on by degrading them for entertainment.
3 - Stalking and voyeurism: If you take a look at glassdoor reviews of 9gag you will read testimonies of their prior employees complaining about upper management spying on them. I have lived personal encounters with this administrator when he would spy on me through my webcam and tap my phone, so I can only presume that you as a consumer giving the 9gag app permission to access your phone camera and microphone have also been spied on and perhaps stalked if him or ones of his likes developed an obsession with you.
This type of individual is constantly suffering and thinks it's only fair to inflict pain on others. It personally opened my eyes on the devil within who walks this earth. You need more info about him? A Lebanese Stanford graduate working for apple and whose only delusional purpose in life is feeling powerful by degrading others. I think he should consult a professional about his mental problems, otherwise it's going to lead to a rerun of American Psycho. The only way he is getting away with all of this, is because Capitalism protects businesses more than ethics and consumers!
