Worldstar Hip Hop is a content-aggregating video blog. Founded in 2005, the site averages 528,726 unique visitors a day. Worldstar has been popularized through their Instagram account, where the company posts videos sent by other users on a daily basis. Worldstar's account currently has 16.2 million followers. The problem with this account is that the content posted is usually very inappropriate. There are many kids who follows this account, and they are being exposed to awful behaviour at such a young age. Worldstar is now known as a gateway to fame, as a viral video generates a lot of money for the company and the user. In order to become "viral", people are posting videos of themselves fighting, stealing, swearing, and other forms of mischief in order to get famous. People who view these videos mimic the bad behaviour of previous users who became viral. This is a huge problem, especially because children are now copying this bad behaviour. An example of this is the newest user to get famous off Worldstar "Lil Tay". Lil Tay is a nine year old girl who holds money and swears into the camera. A nine year old child should not be acting like that. If this trend continues, we will be witnessing more children acting up in order to become famous. Sign this petition so we can band together to prevent this situation from escalating.

I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the way people have responded to this. It really was just a concern of mine, but it seems like so many of you feel the exact same way. This momentum belongs entirely to the people who took the time to show they care.

Finally someone is saying something about this! That lil tay girl is honestly so out of control and the fact that its being promoted for views makes me sick.

Doing good is hard. Doing bad is easy. We owe everything good in our lives to people who did the hard thing.

My little brother watches this stuff all the time and repeats everything he hears. It needs to stop before it gets worse.

Hey Asante, I saw your petition online and wanted to let you know that I completely agree with you. Instagram should look into this because worldstar has been inspiring kids to act stupid! Keep up the good work!
