Hell hath no fury like internet denizens scorned.
Hundreds of angry internet content creators have descended upon ScoopWhoop’s app and left it with unflattering reviews and one star ratings on the Play Store. ScoopWhoop’s App currently has nearly two thousand one-star reviews, and its rating has fallen to 1.2.
The entire episode appears to have begun on 8th July, when a ScoopWhoop employee allegedly asked Andi Mandi Memes, a small Facebook page, to remove a meme they’d posted. The ScoopWhoop employee claimed that the meme “was ScoopWhoop’s property”, and asked them to take it down.
It appears that Andi Mandi Memes didn’t comply with the request, because ScoopWhoop allegedly went ahead and reported the page to Facebook. Facebook then proceeded to deactivate Andi Mandi Memes, and the page appears to be no longer accessible.
This has drawn the ire of internet users, who claim that it’s an instance of a large company bullying a small Facebook page. “Stop harrassing kids, Scoopwhoop. All we wanted was some dank memes and what you did? Reported a humble meme template!,” says an angry comment in the Google reviews. What appears to have further incensed the digital mob is the revelation that ScoopWhoop didn’t come up with the meme in question — a user claims to have created a similar meme all the way back in March.
