Shocking! The inspiration for the new season of Black Mirror comes from the perverse videos of Pump.Fun? The platform's live streaming is quietly reopening.

A desperate man goes live on a website, showing self-harming behavior to the audience. He hopes to attract viewers' attention with his shocking actions and receive tips in Virtual Money. This familiar scenario is from the latest season of Netflix's Black Mirror, and it appears to be inspired by the Solana meme coin issuance platform Pump.Fun. The episode is titled "Common People," and the plot follows a financially struggling husband who starts engaging in increasingly extreme self-harming acts through live streaming to obtain Token to pay for his wife's soaring medical expenses.

Many netizens immediately noticed that the latest episode of Black Mirror is simply about Pump.Fun. @CreepaphX said, "No way, the first episode of Black Mirror is about Pump Fun."

The plot of the story sounds very much like a series of erratic behaviors related to the Pump.Fun meme coin last year. Last summer, a rising meme coin creator, Mikol, in an attempt to boost the sales of his issued meme coin Dare, bizarrely live-streamed himself self-immolating, resulting in third-degree burns, and did not boost any sales performance (dangerous behavior, do not imitate). The Black Mirror writer fictitiously named a live-streaming site Dum Dummies, seemingly mocking the bizarre antics for traffic on Pump.Fun.

Pump.Fun users launched the "Black Mirror Meme Coin" to ride the traffic.

Although there are no self-immolation scenes in Black Mirror, and Pump.fun is not explicitly mentioned, the plot involves a man live streaming on a website called Dum Dummies, where he tragically puts various body parts into a mouse trap. The cryptocurrency community is not unfamiliar with these perverse scenarios and has been discussing these bizarre live streams on social media. This even led many Pump.Fun users to launch their own "Black Mirror meme coins," attempting to ride the wave of traffic and make a quick profit.

Pump.Fun fearless of pressure, quietly reopens the live broadcast function

Although there have been some live broadcasts similar to Pump.Fun platforms on other platforms, Pump.Fun has been accused of being particularly perverted in webcasts, with all kinds of self-harm and cruel cruelty to animals, and under pressure from all sides, Pump.Fun stopped the live broadcast function in November last year. At the time, the Pump team said that the number of live streams on the site rose sharply, exceeding their ability to censor such perverted content.

Just last week, Pump.Fun quietly restored its live streaming feature. Alon Cohen, the founder of Pump.fun, emphasized that stricter review measures have been implemented to ensure user safety. Pump.Fun announced the relaunch of live streaming on Friday.
