Wishes it was something it never will be..

Used to be great, now it’s just a money grab for people who actually believe YN has something to offer.. don’t be fooled. If you want to stream do it somewhere worth streaming..

Idk

A isn’t gonna be the best because I just downloaded the app and I’m over the age, so like I shouldn’t get suspended or anything, but then I did, so the people think I’m too young and I think that’s rude

Got suspended for doing nothing

I was doing a live doing my makeup and got suspended but all I was doing was talking to my fans

creator, please see

I just got it and when I went live, I wanna go live two minutes and then it said I’m unable to go live I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t say anything and I was just answering questions for about two minutes and unable me to go live. I even download the app and downloaded it again and it didn’t work.
