When COVID-19 began, many young people did not know how to handle the season. Millions of people were locked down in different places.
Everyone had to find a way of coping with the situation. Meeting with friends, relatives and coworkers could not happen because people feared they would contract the virus and lose their lives.
No one was spared during the pandemic season. People had to deal with stress and anxiety because of the many deaths registered in various regions. Doctors and experts couldn’t identify an effective cure for the virus, making people have sleepless nights. Most medical facilities could not handle the high number of patients. Yubo realized it was essential to support young people’s mental health in different destinations. The facility brought several well-being initiatives during this crucial time.
Yubo was the ideal platform for millions of Gen Z communities. The live-streaming application became a beacon of hope for desperate young people.
Yubo chose to operate uniquely during the toughest season. Unlike other applications, the company decided to stay away from performance-based operations. The company allowed its young people to have a space where they could interact without dealing with followers and likes. The platform was a space where young people could explore and be themselves without being compared to others. The platform protects young individuals from social harm. The platform safeguards young people’s mental health.
The Gen Z generation faced the most challenging time during the pandemic. After several surveys, McKinsey realized most young people are still struggling many months after the pandemic. More people are dealing with depression, anxiety and distress because they cannot live their lives. Gen Z consumers interrupted their careers and education activities because of the pandemic and found a lot of support from social media. Yubo was the ideal space for the special generation.
