going undercover in Kurtis Town

Kurtis Conner is another YouTuber who launched Kurtis Conner World with the Worlds app, a company that makes space for people to build communities for their audience (I think). So naturally I had to go undercover to investigate. Let's talk Kurtis Town.

let's face it someone had to make this video that's it that's my intro hi Amanda you're watching small entertainment and today we are talking about uh Curtis Connor's Curtis town in the world's app to get things started off um Curtis and I have met uh specifically at this trivia Awards last year but we're not friends uh I don't even think he follows me back on anything so um let's just nuke all of that right now Curtis Connors is another YouTuber he is a commentary YouTuber so I actually heard a
bout Curtis Connor World on Twitter because I saw some people making fun of it and saying okay but if it was someone else making this you would be making a video on it but because you're making it No One's Gonna Make a video on it enter the annoying one here on worlds app We have basically four different worlds that you can be a part of Curtis Connor World obviously which leads you to Curtis town but it's not called Curtis town it's Curtis Connor world then we have Jonas Brothers World Jessie V
world and murder with my husband world uh which I believe is a murder podcast my screen profile if you can see in the top right corner where it says swell is still like a man um but then I tap that to update it and it it has my female icon that I've created uh she looks way cooler than me also it wouldn't let me add glasses which I think is a little insulting zero followers zero following not surprising and then the other worlds I'm a part of is Curtis Connor world but let's take a deep dive int
o Curtis Connor world so my initial plan going into this was to do a screen recording of my phone of the app so I could show you while I was talking about it however at some point I screenshotted something and it stopped the screen recording and deleted the first half of it so William only has the second half of it to add in here and so you're gonna have a couple of shots that I added in in post post editing that are not super matched up with what I'm saying and this is why so when you first ent
er you get the chat logs now these are all I think in the last 24 hours or at least the last 12. I don't know what the timeline is pocket balls sex now Curtis Connor World um I think it's people trying to figure out what they can and cannot say a fat juicy is apparently allowed in in this Chat lock big fat juicy blank lips I'm assuming you can guess what that one was to bypass bad World filter you will need to send a direct request to website server the way it works now the website makes request
s to bad word filter website and then makes your browser and censored version of the message it could be avoided if instead censored messages would be sent to their servers directly I don't know why they didn't Implement that in the right way the first day I came on here ever was just talking about Jeremy runner for those who don't know Jeremy Ritter is an actor who created the Jeremy Runner app and it lasted less than a week before it was deleted because people started impersonating Casey Antho
ny and several other uh people uh famous people including Jeremy router himself because there's no way to prevent you from making an account mimicking someone else I made a video on it you're good and made a video on it several people made a video on it I think Curtis actually did one as well this was something that was clowned on entirely and it's something that is still referenced uh when Twitter started going downhill everyone was less uh we missed we missed what we could have had and all the
stuff sharing the and all of that so it was not surprising me that when I logged on here it was a lot of people being like I love Jeremy Renner this is the Jeremy Writer app I love it so much oh my gosh you know things like that making fun of it more than anything so now in Curtis Connor's world uh there is also the message board and this is where Curtis Connor himself with a little check mark can uh make uh pin posts so like for example they did a meme competition road trip to manipulation sta
tion Vlog and it's of Colleen Ballinger with her addressing video in front of the Miss The Groovy groomers instead of the Mystery Machine video ideas hey y'all please let me know if you have any video suggestions you may have whether it's a weird Tick Tock Trend account or a bad movie TV show leave them here and this is from two weeks ago Ukraine juice milk collab with Nick is not green these are not bad I might borrow some of these it's just a lot of people sharing it's basically like the Commu
nity page on say patreon so then we have the merch store uh off to the side I'm gonna skip the world itself because I want to show you guys that but off to the side the fourth button in is the merch store broken TV Curtis town uh arcade things like that all the merch I think I get Stars if I order something from here I'm not going to the most recent notification is from a week ago for the meme Competition winner and I guess now we'll just go into the world so in the world here you get dropped of
f right at the front gate for where is the sign I I'm trying to get a hang of the uh the view of this I don't like that it is locked in portrait mode like this because something like this I would like to be able to play in landscape someone is floating above the sign I don't know if you can see it at the top of the screen um but they are up there uh Yeehaw welcome to Curtis Town always in season and then you can see the Curtis town uh breakdown sister sectors if I had a dime Bank Curtis Connor f
ire department very really good Studios fake deep University which is outside can I leave outside I don't think I can okay if I hit the the jump button I can kind of look but not really so here's merch so here's what happens by going to merch Market I go into this little square and it just brings me back into the merch store um and then to go back I think I do just hit the button the app racing back out there you got the the shirts all displayed I do like that they got the shirts kind of like yo
u can see the actual designs in the actual merch store that's kind of cool comparatively to the generator app obviously this is more advanced this is a full little mini Curtis verse if you will okay um so they got Yeehaw tattoo text ee to 833-261-8021 where's my phone hang on let me grab my work phone we're gonna do this okay I have sent Yi to the number I can't really explore the boundaries of Curtis Town necessarily I can go around the bushes a little bit but that's kind of it I kind of can't
do much else oh the Curtis County Cuts just brings me back to the merch store that's kind of stupid I thought it would be something else but no it's just the merch store again but it's also is the little icon labeled something different yeah Curtis Town Cuts it's still the merch store I don't know put something else there something fun uh Curtis Connor world as you can see in the back Curtis Connor live tickets on sale now and I believe these are tickets to Curtis's live show let's go find out o
kay never mind I thought this was a box office I guess not Wall of Shame lame unfunny skits this guy's live show must be a blast your hair is bro unfunny Instagram more like unfunny YouTube channel mustache and vintage acid wash shirts just be funny stop doing some so much one last pixel and this would be a radio let's go inside this building first because this is where I first watered inside of I think when I first came in because I was like oh I can go inside of here so as you can see here thi
s is like a uh rule decree book space Curtis town was founded by Our Kind and Generous mayor Curtis Connor on December 14th 2018. Curtis tone has and always will be a place where everybody is accepted as long as they are nice to the mayor it does not matter who you are or where you are from Kurdistan is a place free from Judge judgmentalness sorry I can't read judgment unless sorry there's no space between that team not you judge meant unless you are unkind to the mayor then you will be thrown i
nto the lake of bees nice be kind to the mayor stay a while and enjoy living in the best place to live in the whole world rules and laws of crow sound thou must be nice to the mayor thou must be nice to each other thou must always make it stinky thou must mustn't steal if thou must steal at least give the mayor some of whatever you stole and then there's little medallions hanging around let's say Casey on them uh this fireplace can I throw myself into it third I am in the fire nothing is happeni
ng this says Curtis on his childhood Street in Canada um that's just a baby photo of Curtis I don't know if you have a different photo that you thought was going to be there but um that is clearly like a Sears baby photo spot also this is apparently a real town in Hawaii uh it's called Curtis town I think it's a street I just found that when I searched Curtis town this is also the mayor as a baby destined for greatness so basically um this is two photos that were swapped uh in the uh you either
swap the tags or you swap the photos Nobel Prize uh for solving World Peace within Curtis town um I'm here to destroy that Curtis and Jenna the first lady of Curtis town it's Curtis and his wife very sweet the proportions of this are insane also my phone is getting so hot what is this doing to my phone let's go to the obstacle course because this is what truly pissed me off um I don't know how to make this thing work blood related Saloon and motel leads you to the obstacle course join the Curtis
Town obstacle course and test your skills against other players to see who can compete the fastest click the button below to be transported to the course you're just supposed to kind of jump okay I gotta back up I guess get a running start I'm not touching any buttons it's just glitching on me I know it's in beta but like this is it won't let me over the bark so I'm holding my phone still regular I don't like that personally I never play games like this if I can help it view leaderboard let's s
ee the leaderboard two dudes got the same time uh and then fat juicy is number three no I'm sorry fat cheesy is uh three four five six eight nine and ten okay so I'm not gonna count this game against you Curtis because I could just suck at it it's not letting me jump properly I do not like that I can't put it in a different mode let me up on the mark oh my God okay I quit I'm done I'm over it so at this time this is pretty much it um there's people here there's also the chat is at the bottom the
entire time so you can see everything oh I think Curtis is here there's unofficial Curtis Connor and then there's uh Chris Connor double bro what the anyone there like my post so I can get 500 Stars before this website dies and balls sex now and then someone's doing shocked Emoji there are several verified Curtis Connors now fake Curtises um this is also fat juicy cough they are allegedly also in the Jonas Brothers World which is very funny to me I wouldn't check out another world just to see w
hat happens uh we're gonna check out murder with my husband beta I do like the loading screen as well that is very general app what the there's this there's just so much cooler than yours Curtis oh my God wait start here what start timer what do I do I don't know what I do there's just so much cooler though but they've got a graveyard I don't know who these people are whatsoever but by the way I do not consume their content whatsoever I don't see where the Finish is I just see the start here let
's check out the Jonas Brothers world because why not we're here we're just critiquing this whole app I guess um I don't like that I can't update my profile um I updated my um Avatar almost two weeks ago now and uh this profile picture the little one has not updated which I do think is very odd and that seems like something that should be an easy fix the Jonas Brothers World their image is cropped I don't get why you can't do portrait mode I do think that's stupid oh theirs is literally a desert
is this a photo spot what is this so I have several questions Curtis did they approach you did you approach them did they were like hey we can make Curtis Town that's kind of cool we can do that for you so I try to find more information about worlds.com myself and couldn't find a whole lot their website is just like hey join the wait list get on the email whatever but what I thought was interesting was that at the bottom they have this Scroll of like different people celebrities and YouTubers a
nd creators that apparently have worked with them now trying to find these creators I don't think they have actual worlds but they're Pages within worlds I don't know if they're working on stuff with them or what the deal is but like trying to find these things was proving to be difficult there's a phone thank goodness get me out of here all in all Curtis town is fine I think that the app itself is very minimal and has more work than needs to be done to it and I don't know how often are you prom
oting it right now let's see so your most recent YouTube video nine days ago at the time of me recording this curtisconnorworld.com but it's not even a clickable link doing a meme competition over in Curtis town this week it's probably going to be really silly just a warning curtisconnorworld.com big exciting announcement I've been working on this project for the past year and I'm so excited to share with you all today click the link to step foot into Curtis town patreon Debbie for knowing about
it already do we have to be nice to you bestie is this a virus as hilarious as that would be no it's not a virus you have a Jeremy Renner app see my point the ongoing comparison to the Jeremy Runner app the fact that people were able to already figure out how to hack it and pretend to be you I think is a mistake that seems like a design flaw and something that you should get on about that I'm curious to know because you only have patreon so what is what is is this just a fun thing to have have
like an extra fun thing you made an appearance a week ago video ideas weekly Community chat on 3 P.M eastern time today um the community chat was two weeks ago lasted shows so I'm not sure when else you're gonna do the community chat as I work with my boyfriend on here because of how frustrating the obstacle course is little that I know that the obstacle course wasn't the hardest obstacle here it was leaving you Wyatt hey baba let's sit down for this on this bench okay you know I love you but I
do I'm leaving what I'm leaving you in this app forever someone broke up with their boyfriend on Curtis town I mean that's kind of iconic that's hilarious oh you can do this on the computer okay so on the computer this seems much more doable in an effort to give Curtis Connor world its best chance for myself um I did try desktop this is what it looks like on the website you can really only use the front and back arrows and then the left and right just kind of makes you turn a little bit it's a l
ittle annoying but I'm also not super familiar with computer games so that could be why I don't like the navigation side of these things I do like that you can see more people here um it does seem like there's more people online here than there are on the app but I don't think that really matters considering this is the same Curtis world so it should still be the same amount of people in the app versus on desktop let's try the game same thing let's go let's see if this is at all easier it did ma
ke me log in so I am back as well competing in this game let's go I'm trying to get it to activate actually and it wasn't activating so I just started trying to do a speed run and I was once again failing miserably so I was like okay maybe if I get a running start this time and I try it again I'm using the space bar to jump standard not not helping at all and then someone else joined the obstacle course I was like Yay and then I fell and I died and I got embarrassed and I quit anyways that's rea
lly gonna be it um it's fine it's a cool concept it'll be interesting to see if you keep up with it past a month because it seems like you're coming up on a month at the time of me recording this so far you've outlived the Jeremy Runner app that lasted maybe two weeks if even that I think it was less the public knew about it for less than a week the fact that people are already impersonating you though that's the first sign of its downfall uh I would get on that and figure out why that's happeni
ng and stop that quickly immediately will I be making a swell entertainment worlds no I don't think you guys want that I don't think you want need that either the cult is alive and well though that is happening um it's just not going to be swallow town it's an interesting concept I'll give you that I do think it's ill timed I think that right now the metaverse is definitely on the way out this is very metaverse um and it's a little I don't know I I think it's an interesting time I know these thi
ngs take time but I mean you have this one for you you have more activity in your world than you than the Jonas Brothers do very impressive I'll be interested to see what happens moving forward but at this time I'm done with Curtis town I don't think I need more of it um the optical course is a little Annoying just because I think that I I may play around with it on on desktop to see what happens but I wish that there was a way for me to toggle it to view it sideways versus vertical um that's ju
st a personal preference but also I have seen quite a few people being like I should be able to do rotate mode and things like that and be able to widescreen it just because I think that that's uh more intuitive but that's just me I mean you didn't charge me any money so you got that going for you um I still have no idea how to earn Stars I always think things like this where it should there should be like a list where it's like how to earn Stars you know like buy merch comment on other people's
posts make posts of your own spend 36 hours in Curtis town and you will earn one star you know things like that I think there should be like a merit list that you can kind of go off of so I'm not just like guessing in the dark stabbing wildly at Curtis town there is also apparently they're not called Stars they're called reputation and I don't know how I feel about that you know I just I think that's kind of lame don't know if you just don't have Curtis uh Town tickets like for your shows avail
able right now you may not be touring right now um in that case I would put like maybe sold out off season things like that I don't know something you can add to the billboard or the poster uh to show that you are not currently selling tickets because you can sell tickets within the the app so that's something that seems like that would be an intuitive leap to add the tickets if you have them available so some things that on the outside of that spot to show that there's nothing available I thoug
ht that would be good I don't know I know you have a wall of shame but like a fan art wall might be fun I know that's kind of the community tab but inside that one building um having a wall that's just like fan art that people have made of you but that's probably fun uh you know don't just you know punish the naysayers but reward the fun stuff I think that's always a good idea for creators to do I actually don't mind the the merge layout I don't like that there's two merch spots that lead to it
when it's clear that there is one clear Birch bot and that's another thing I would figure out how to make that something else I don't know what I would make that maybe your Instagram photos maybe like a museum set up where it's just your Instagram photos or your tweets something goofy like that that could be fun or like a movie theater where it's just playing like your videos or something I don't know could you do that that seems like something fun my guess is that the app takes up a lot of stor
age space or data of some sort because my phone is literally on fire it's burning I don't know what to do with that but that's something to note I have not been indoctrinated into Curtis town and I think that's okay um because I am just someone who pops into the cult to investigate out of curiosity and then I dip always you know that's how I am um and that's going to be it um have you played in Curtis town have you heard about Curtis town is this the first time you're hearing about Curtis town a

@madscientistenby9572

For some reason when I saw the title I thought Kurtis Conner had made an actual physical amusement park that I'd just somehow not heard about

@jessied4105

Everyone be nice to Kurtis. He is the mayor, it’s the law

@Kellyericah0pe

having his name attached to this unmoderated, barely censored nightmare cannot end well for him.. this is such a bizarre move

@seize0the0night

Opportunity to create a Swell world with just a giant pair of glasses and the title "that's it! That's my world" would be totally on brand

@WHALEBOY777

They must given him a bag so large he couldn't say no lmao

@lgr28

Gonna say it I feared the day some of my millennial commentary YouTubers ended up doing something like this..."becoming something I've sworn to destroy" vibes

@MosesSuppose

Oof its so awkward when someone who is intimately familiar with internet culture like Kurtis misses so damn hard with something like this. Makes me wonder if this was missed or overlooked in a contract or something like that

@Socalloween

When Amanda went undercover into Elon Musk's house and disguised herself as a Blue Bird monster to haunt him like a Scooby Doo villain

@Its_Kat__

I was pretty surprised to see Kurtis was doing this world thing. It seems like such a janky concept to begin with and the execution was even extra jank…

@miles1560

This whole thing is weird. I wonder exactly how much control Kurtis has over this space- it's clear at least that whoever this third party is that does Worlds either does not care enough about security or has underestimated the amount of programmers they need for it.

@Serenity.Solstice

I agree with the "Metaverse" comment. The second he showed gameplay footage on promo during one of his videos, I was immediately reminded of the Metaverse. It seems very off-brand for Kurtis to have something like this under him. I wonder if he was expecting something a lot different than what that corporation actually delivered?

@enbyspock

yeah, after he came out with this, my sibling and i (both big kurtis fans) were anxiously waiting for him to tell us it was some kind of joke lmao its not good

@VDJVivacity

If you do make a shirt for this video please have it say "I went to Kurtis Town and all I got was this lousy shirt".

@fredskull1618

Kurtis Conner’s virtual world, a place where I found myself wandering aimlessly through obstacle courses and pondering the eternal question: “Why can’t I update my profile picture?”

@jadem9987

I do wonder how much he was paid for this because it really is the exact thing people like him and his friends would make fun of. I wonder if the company pitched something far different and he was locked into the contract so he couldn't be disappointed publicly with it? But perhaps he likes it. Who knows. Best case scenerio is it just gets forgotten as a particularly embarassing side project, like an influencer doing an ad read for a bad product they didn't do good research on but with less money loss.

@kookykiddo

As a pretty big Kurtis fan am I alone in simply not knowing about this? I knew about Kurtistown but not like…this. lolol

@FTZPLTC

Always slightly disappointed when someone says "we're not friends" and then doesn't say "we're ENEMIES".

@averyeml

I love that you talked about this. Like yeah, it’s Kurtis, you’re friendly, and we know enough about him to know that if this blows it’s not out of malice or an attempt to grift. But those things don’t negate him from being reviewed and dunked upon when it’s lame, and I’m glad you kept things relatively impartial.

@docsmooth

You could have created all of this within Second Life twenty years ago and Second Life is still active today.

@tedddybear

I’m a big kurtis fan but had no idea this even existed.
