“I see where it does have its pros and cons. I feel like it can be useful when it comes to students wanting to connect with one another about classes and stuff like that, cause I know that some struggle more with being more vocal about it during class and then obviously, we’ve all seen where it can be problematic because its a place where people can go and just say cowardly acts, that they would not say to someone’s face. So, I see where it can help and be hurtful.”
“YikYak, I personally don’t use it but it doesn’t have its good and its bad sides. Like sometimes, it can be really helpful and you can get your little laugh, but oftentimes it’s really problematic. We should probably do something about that, I don’t really know how, but it could be tweaked.”
“I don’t personally like to post on it, but I do look at the stuff on it. I don’t know if I would consider it useful, I mean I think it’s funny, I like to see what people are talking about. And sometimes, people do talk about what’s going on like around campus. Like, again, I don’t think it’s super useful. I mean, people are kinda mean on it sometimes.”
“I myself don’t use YikYak, but I hear many things. I also think it’s a good source to get information that might not be out yet but I also think its problematic for how much drama goes down.”
“I think YikYak can be very problematic at times. I also think that it can help students relate to each other and to talk back and forth without being nervous but the majority: problematic for sure!”
“I don’t use it anymore, it’s very problematic, there’s just not much positive upside for it. It’s just usually just for people to go on there and talk down to other people.”
“To me, it’s just very useless and just kinda stirs the pot for some people who do take it to heart and are very sensitive to those things.”
“I enjoy Yik Yak. It is free expression of oneself through anonymous posts, which are, most of the time, very entertaining.”
“I think it’s a great way for people to express their opinions and share interests. The anonymity gives students the chance to say what they want without judgment.”
