I thought doing this was always termed as "crumbing, " because you're leaving bread crumbs to keep a potential girl's interest alive, while you pursue someone/thing else.

When Anna said, "My channel is dying" just made me sad. Her contents have helped me be aware of the both the good and toxic sh*t within and around me. More people should watch them.

As a girl, I've done this, too, although it wasn't in the interest of sex. It was more to validate that I was desirable and wanted. Ultimately, it was a problem of self-worth, and like Anna, I realized that it was sometimes hurtful and had to stop.

I feel like Squarespace just continues to sponsor Anna in order to hear "Daddy Squarespace" (can't blame them)

Your channel isn't dying..it just didn't reach right people your contents are real therapy

“I tweaked my neck just by waking up and existing.

We are all so fragile 😂😭

in korea, this is called 어장관리 which roughly translates to "fishing ground maintenance" so like a really awful take on taking care of your aquarium

[natalieberkaw]

Fifty percent of my brain is Anna Akana’s wisdom

[SilientShadow]

The best way to figure out if someone is doing this to you is, "So, want to meet up?" If they won't set a time to meet, they're a waste of time.

How the hell does Anna keep posting about stuff that’s happening to me???

I got piggy banked before, it took me months to realize the person contacting me every few weeks had no intention of going out with me on the regular

"vibrators never hurt anyone's feelings"

[PockASqueeno]

Why call it something so juvenile like “piggy banking?” In my day we just called it “leading people on.”

[joyceliang]

"I don't want to be presumptuous because you may have just invited me over as a friend. But just in case you have romantic intent, I want to let you know that I'm not on the same page." THIS!!! I've been struggling with saying something like this for so long, the situation almost always lead to an awkward rejection or an awkward "I'll think about it" because I didn't want to hurt their feelings.

Thank you for putting this into words!!

If I had an actual coin for how often in my life a woman has done this to me, I'd be able to afford healthcare in the USA.

"Because I'm an idiot with human whims"
The most relatable thing I've heard in awhile.

[AlizzaBliss]

"Vibrators never hurt anyone's feelings."
No but they can hurt your who-ha if it turns out you're allergic to the material 😶 (that was a real bummer of an evening)

The cats randomly walking around and living their lives in the background is what makes these videos

[tcchip]

This isn't a guy only thing. I've been breadcrumbed by practically all my dates in the last couple of years. What they all had in common were a lack of interest and effort, and they'd text maybe once a week or two, but not bother replying after. Then a week or two they'd drop another hi and that's it. As I found out, such people are already going out with someone else, but they want a backup in case it doesn't work out. If and when it works out then I'll get ghosted.

"my channel is dying" 🥺🥺 we're still here anna!!
