“Our mission, and what we’re looking to do, is to find new ways to reduce the friction of sparking conversations with friends. “Our users gravitate towards Sendit because of its awesome AR experiences,” Rice explains. He also pushed back at the idea that Sendit’s adoption by teenagers is being driven by anonymity. Sendit’s founder Hunter Rice denies that bots are involved. They are just random cheap questions that nobody would ask like “who would you choose to be on your team in a zombie apocalypse?” Like that’s stupid. I’m convinced that the questions are from AI.
For example, me and all of my friends are mid-20s and older and we’ve all gotten the same question about ‘do u have trust issues,’ ‘who’s the best person to copy homework from?’Īnother reviewer complains: “Ok so I can tell that the questions are 100% not from anyone I know, in fact I’m pretty sure this is fake. Writes one user in an App Store review: “This app randomly sends you fake/automated questions. In addition, some of Sendit’s users believe the app is using bots to post questions that their friends would have never asked. When we asked Snap to detail its policy around anonymous apps aimed at minors, we were told the company is in the process of reviewing its app ecosystem and policies, following the hire of its first global head of platform safety. Some of Sendit’s negative reviews also make mention of bullying, but Snap has yet to take action. Sendit has, so far, escaped a similar fate despite offering anonymous features of its own - like its “ask me anything” game, which prompts a Snapchat user’s friends to ask questions without revealing who they are. The app recently gained millions of new installs following Snap’s suspensions of Sendit’s top rivals, YOLO and LMK, which were the focus of a lawsuit from a mother whose son died by suicide after being anonymously bullied by users of those apps. To date, Sendit has been downloaded nearly 9 million times worldwide and has generated nearly $3 million in consumer spending, according to Sensor Tower data. Popular with a younger demographic, Sendit has been steadily gaining traction with Snapchat users who use the app to play games and have conversations with their Snapchat friends.
To understand what Push it is all about, you have to first understand the company’s original app, Sendit.
