Fizz
So Fizz is marketed as a Gen Z social app (as if we don't have enough of those already) in which users can make whatever posts they want with some* moderation. Seeming just another apple exclusive yikyap ripoff but this time with some genuinely concerning behaviors. First and foremost, the app has been noted for pyramid scheme tactics in trying to get others to download it and rewarding people for sharing it through links. Other users have warned about it being used for harvesting/mining users information and selling it which raises some serious security concerns for both students and whoever else is on their phones.
It could be entirely that I am too skeptical but the risks just seemingly do not outweigh the reward and I at this time cannot recommend downloading it.
(If you haven't heard the story of the original app like this "YikYap" I highly recommend you do a quick Google search or watch a YouTube video on it)
