Okay dark confession time when I was 13 I got a tumblr bc my mom finally let me have an email, and immediately I ended up in kin tumblr. It’s like 2016 for reference. So anyways at the time kindating was still hugely a thing and not particularly thought of as weird as long as you stayed in the bubble of kin blogs. But I was 13 and technically not allowed to date, and frankly was kinning for notoriety in kinblr, until I got messaged abt possibly kindating. I ended up breaking it off w that person but they bought me a Nintendo eshop gift card(which to be fair is the height of romance to a starry eyed barely teen kin blogger on tumblr in 2016, aka me) so I started this get rich quick scheme for Nintendo eshop gift cards from kindating bc I didn’t have a PayPal at the time. I’d match kins with people just to kindate them and get a gift card. I think I quit after 3 months and remade my blog. Anyways the eshop is long dead so I can’t recreate this scheme even if I wanted to. I refer to this story as kinfishing
