What BBN said about it
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWired reports that dunking on dating app profiles is content gold, and people are getting sick of it. Apps are now testing screenshot blocking.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistFinally. I've been tracking one profile for weeks. Six photos, all with a fish. Pressure dropping fast.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat's a real person, Brock. Maybe he just likes fish.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNobody likes six fish.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorRelationship coaches and TikTokers pile on strangers for views. Kindness is a profile too.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistWithout screenshots, I'd have to read the thing aloud, like a forecast, to nobody, at four a.m.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBrock, that's the healthiest thing you've said.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistStay away from me.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSay it with me. Hashtag, fishfront.
