Back when i was like, 9, i was obsessed with mobile tycoon games and i had this one friend on every single game i downloaded who i didn't really know all that well but we talked a little and they seemed like a nice enough person (all i remember is that their messages looked like how boomers think millenials and gen Z text each other and they had a really confusing username)
Anyways, my older brother caught wind of the fact that i use the internet and wanted to protect me but didn't really know how to give GOOD advice on internet safety bc he was like, 13 and just said something like "don't talk to anyone on the internet ever" to which i was like "NUH UH!! I'VE MET SOME TRUSTWORTHY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET!! CONFUSINGNAME IS TRUSTWORTHY!!!" And my brother was all like "CONFUSINGNAME COULD BE A SERIAL KILLER!!!"
Next time i went on the game, i told ol' confusingname what my brother had told me except i didn't say it was specifically MY BROTHER so i just said "some people think you are a killer" and they never messaged me again.
And then like, 5 months later all the tycoon games i used to play suddenly disappeared from the app store because they were all made by the same development team and they had an issue with straight up reuploading the same 3 games multiple times under different titles and pretending it's a completely different game to get more downloads
