Are we to believe it’s real or a hoax? Confused, however it has highlighted internet safety which is a positive.
That said my children and most of their school hadn’t heard of momo before the school had an assembly on it last week (before the hoax info came out). Where is the responsible journalism in this?
It's a hoax or urban legend. Originated by a person in Northern Ireland on a post on Facebook.
If you watch the LordanArts video I posted, he even states that no way that things like this could pop up on YouTube easily. He's true crime, and raise awareness more so of missing people around the globe. Many disappear due to strange and weird circumstances. Due to the nature of his channel although a great following, lots of subs, high amount of views so in the category for being monetised. Most his videos are not due to the nature of them. YouTube don't scrutinise each one per se or think that's John uploading again let's demonitised but they track in whatever capacity for certain words to prevent making money from these subjects. So they will know doubt do the same for many videos, and especially those they deem suitable for children, on the YouTube kids.
It seems journalism just went to pot over this whole fiasco and ran with the story with no evidence what so ever.
