History
As years went on on Twitter, it has been home to some screamers and shock sites. Such an example is You had one job, the earliest known screamer on Twitter. The video features a man feeding some snakes at a shelter. The snake keeps getting too difficult to control and keeps refusing the mouse it's being offered to. The snake then falls on the floor and the man puts it back in its confinement, along with the mouse. However, when the man opens another shelf to check on the next snake, a transparent stock photo of a snake's head zooms in along with a loud hiss.
McChicken has got to be the earliest known Shock video on Twitter. The hashtag would feature a video of a man masturbating himself with a McChicken sandwich from Mcdonald's. The hashtag got so popular on Twitter, that some celebrities like Seth Rogen said about the video, "I really hope that Sausage Party in no way inspired this #McChicken thing."
Fake Fancams was an incident that was going around on Twitter in early 2019, where it was made by users pretending to upload a fan cam video of K-Pop or something else, but would suddenly cut to a screamer or graphic content like murder, torture, suicide, self-harm and etc. This ended up with a hashtag called #stopusingfancamsasbait to spread awareness about the fancams.
In July 2023, the site was rebranded to X by Elon Musk. It subsequently experienced a significant loss in users due to Musk’s divisive political views and controversial policies regarding content moderation, with users moving to alternative platforms like Bluesky or otherwise abandoning the site.
