The host asks New Yorkers in Washington Square Park whether they've made real friends from the internet. He's turned online acquaintances into offline friends via Twitter. Others mention Club Penguin, obsessing over Nash Grier, and the need to be intentional about finding good people online.
A stranger is just a potential friend. I've made a lot of internet friends in my life thanks to Twitter, and I figured why not take it offline? So I spent the day in Washington Square Park talking to strangers. Here's how it went. Have you ever made a friend on the internet?
I guess, yeah. I don't know, I was like little and I used to have like those like editing accounts and like I would just talk to people. Probably shouldn't have been talking to them.
What were the edits like Club Penguin or?
No, it was like I had like a really bad like Madcon phase where I was just obsessed with like Hayes Carreer and those people, so.
Nash? Yeah, there you go. Nash Grier makes people friends. Have you ever made a friend on the internet?
I don't know how to work the internet.
Neither do I.
The internet is full of so much bullshit, but you just gotta like get to like the good stuff and know what you're looking for. Have intention when you, when you on the internet, you feel me? Like, like you're making videos right here, like you got intention with what you're doing, you feel me?
So now, now we're meeting, we're connecting, you feel me?
Word.
Gotta make some friends on the internet and in real life.
