    When I was like eight I’d take “which Warrior Cats character are you” quizzes probably made by other eight-year-olds and thoroughly examine each answer to guess which one would give me the result I wanted and get upset if they didn’t give me one of my favorite characters 😭

    When I was 11 I took a quizilla "What's your soul song?" quiz and was given Landslide - Fleetwood Mac. I took it way too seriously but weirdly now 14 years later, I actually really have related to the song and used it as a comfort over all those teen years. So thanks random quizilla person, you changed my life in a small but super specific way

    Quotev was my life blood when I was younger. I loved taking the "Which supernatural creature is your boyfriend" esk quizzes, especially because they'd sometimes write you a whole little one short featuring your new bf. There was also fanfics and original stories on the site. Overall I just loved doing the quizzes on there and still occasionally pop onto my old account to check out some old favorites.

      I loved Quotev!! My best friend and I have a lot of memories from the Undertale/FNAF/etc. fandoms on there in around 2016 lol, cozy happy memories there :) I remember my silly account there living on pretty long and lots of my equally silly acquaintances there, over-the-top profiles and all. Sometimes it makes me miss the simplicity of being a dorky kid running rampant on the internet, but it's equally bittersweet seeing how far all those people have likely come since then.

Quotev was where I grew up taking "am I bi, straight, or gay" quizzes when I was 10 even though I didn't know what any of those words meant and kept getting bi as a result (spoiler alert: it was true). Uquiz is where I got all my personal life advice from, like "hey you, gifted kid, GO DRINK SOME FUCKING WATER AND TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL PROBLEMS FOR ONCE!" after I was pyschoanalyzed and where I shared fun quizzes like "which aesthetic are you?" with my friends. Also even though I hate JK Rowling, I grew up taking pottermore quizzes all the time

    I feel like in 2020 we came full circle with the rise of uquiz r, I very much could just be apart of an insane niche that never let go of quiz but from my and my circle's perspective uquiz definitely has become a norm. Very literate quizes that have poetic answers along with character ones that pretty much anyone can make. The Soldier, Poet, King quiz that rolled around Tiktok is a good example.

    So glad you talked about the Buzzfeed-Tumblr connection. Buzzfeed really did a great job honing in on their market at the time, and their obscure quizzes really found a way into modern culture as a result of the "so random" angle. Their biggest downfall was actually their inability to adapt to more modern topics, there's only so many times you can make a "choose an ice cream and we'll choose your dog breed" quiz. I feel like it's almost too late for them to make a comeback, because I can't think of anyone who wouldn't be embarrassed to admit they go on Buzzfeed.

    As a teen in the mid-to-late 2000s with an internet addiction, I spent a lot of time on Quizilla - I remember the transtion to choose-your-own-adventure quizzes that eventually led to a 'story' category and the amazing trend of "What do [the characters of this tv show/book series/movie franchise/anime/etc.] think of you? (DETAILED ANSWERS, 32 CHARACTERS, PICS)" which has remained a guilty pleasure all these years later - I don't think that trend ever took off outside of Quizilla but if there are any relics out there I'd love to revisit them.

    Ahh, the days of Quizilla and using proxies in the computer lab to see which Evanescence song truly represents me. (It was Going Under, btw) This has definitely become one of my favorite channels, cause though my old butt is 33, she has a great knack for reminding me that I went from a whimsical and fun childhood, to adulthood where I'm sometimes feeling like I'm hanging on by a frayed thread, lol.

    THE IMPOSSIBLE QUIZ, YESSSS. My brothers and I had a lot of fun trying to figure out (and then memorize) all the correct answers. :)

    I remember taking quotev quiz, a lot were really cool with their results, being basically mini stories
    Nowadays I like to do a quizz on uquiz when people share it, they can be pretty creative in their questions (quite annoyed i can't check the other results like on quotev tho)

    magazine quizzes was such a throwback, me and my friends would bring a bunch of teen magazines and sit in a circle and talk about which option we would take. It’s so nostalgic.

    I was always on Quizazz (not Quotev) as a young teen. Things from "what's your true spirit animal," to "are you secretly gay?" to "what anime character are you?" or even "what age are you mentally?" were everywhere then. I remember having a Klutz book full of different quizzes to get to know your friends and have fun with. Those ones were mostly made by teens, so they were more simple with asking what you like (colours, clothes, food, habits, hobbies, etc).
    I like some quizzes used in marketing, like I'm getting married, and I remember as a teen going through some of the various wedding related ones (like ones that claim to reveal your dream dress, perfect theme, or other things), but they're actually really good for getting inspiration. Likewise with the character creation ones and what fursona are you things.

    I used to love Buzzfeed. But then the funny picture lists started repeating the same pictures over and over again. Also at some point it felt like most topics were about smoking weed or broblems of being a black teen or young adult in the USA. I was not black, from USA or and I didn't smoke weed so there was not much to read anymore.

    This is nostalgic. Quizilla was all I would do when I was bored at school as a teen and have free time. I would do the What Element Would You Have Quiz and would get annoyed when I don't get my favorite ones! I would do Jak and Daxter quizzes, Dragon quizzes, Mythical Creatures quizzes, Sonic quizzes and so on. Some of the fanfiction on it was good too. I still remember some of them.

    this isn’t me trying to throw shade or anything but im kind of curious as to why you didn’t talk about quotev? i really liked how you talk about the technicality behind online quiz places like buzzfeed and facebook but do you think that quotev being a (at least i assume) website where only users make quizzes has something to do with it? i know it’s notoriously known for it’s crazy quizzes and even the occasional fanfic lol. and this convo is open to anyone else who has an input!

    When I was really young I used to love those magazine quizzes and get upset when I didn’t get what I want. Then at like 10 I used quotev a lot for RUclips quizzes (and fanfics). And when my friends and I were like 11-12 we would always do quizzes for the characters of what shows we liked and then truly believed that we were like those characters.
    I’ll be honest when I’m really bored I do uquiz and buzz feed ones

    I do remember Quizilla.
    I remember finding Buzzfeed, Cracked, Oddee, Failblog, The Onion, College Humor, & what I'm pretty sure was called 5leep or S7eep or SL33p...
