If consenting adults were the users, I'd agree with you.

But, in my town, this Yik Yak was used by high school, and some older middle school, students to trashtalk each other, both in particular and in general.

In my view it would be a good thing if parents of teens stopped footing the bill for the addictive devices that deliver services like Yik Yak and Instagram for that matter. For one thing, they'd save a bundle. For another, we as a community would have less cybersafety to worry about.

Good riddance to yik yak and the fratboy w##kers that created it.
