YoBlunt Launches its App-based Platform for Users to Vent out Their Thoughts Through Selfie Video Post


NEW DELHI, October 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

One can swallow up their thoughts, opinions, feelings or emotions thinking that speaking it out might create more problems to one's image than good. YoBlunt is an app-based platform that can change this hesitation of speaking out using cutting-edge AI technology.

Aiming to stabilize the emotional state of users by connecting the world using content rather than identity. It is the comfort and shield of anonymity that models, ex-roadies, influencers have already started to use the platform, YoBlunt to vent out their feeling.

YoBlunt is highly tech enabled

YoBlunt is not a platform to post just anything, it is restricted to selfie narration videos only and this is ensured using cutting-edge artificial intelligence. YoBlunt has developed a proprietary technology to make a person anonymous within a selfie video post by detecting user's nose and blurring the nose up in real time. Most of the platform out there are text-based and do not promote and represent the real expression. The type of content YoBlunt receives is very unique - few posts are serious social issues, some inspiring, few hilarious, some will give a new perspective one can ever imagine, while some questions humanity.

Within its short journey, YoBlunt has helped to garner support for many social issues. It has seen thought-provoking posts ranging from a teen girl sharing about hermolestation in Delhi metro by an aged man. Posts from a young girl telling how her educated parents abandoned her because of her being a girl child who was supported by grandparents and how she stands taller now, in all facets of life, as compared to her male sibling. To which, the replies she received on YoBlunt made her even taller with confidence.



The team at YoBlunt can promise that it is just the beginning and they see a long road ahead. Often, users have expressed their bottled feelings on this platform while others have supported these posts, understood their cause and tried to suggest and took learnings from them.

About YoBlunt


Current social media platforms are identity-driven and showcase best parts of life. People do not share their real opinions due to the fear of destroying social footprints created over years.

  • As per the British Survey, "More than 75% of people admit to making their lives seem more exciting on social media."
  • According to Royal society of public health, "Rates of depressive symptoms & anxiety in young people have risen to 70% in past years because of image driven social media platforms."
  • WHO says 36% of Indians are depressed. The list of facts goes on and on.

Today Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are all about curated highlight reel of life. Ashish along with other Co-Founder Manish started looking for a way to enable people to express their real emotions and not be fortified for it by society. It started with a simple website in 2016 and as the word spread around, they saw a variety of personal and social issues being talked on their platform.

Since emotional health and stability is the least talked about but most important issue of modern internet era and communication with others have boiled down to impressions, status, taglines and check-ins. Real emotional sharing which is the root of communication has come to the new low, which is a matter of concern.

YoBlunt has a very impactful vision, to be a trusted platform for candid emotional sharing which cannot be done on any other platform like Facebook, Twitter, etc. due to the fear of being judged. YoBlunt's focus is on young students and women, who are the unheard voices of the society. A tool of expression and support would make a positive difference to their emotional fitness.

YoBlunt is also in talks with news media platforms to pick up stories of real users and take them to main stream. YoBlunt have already roped in couple of NGOs for users who need help beyond platform.
