Why is sprunki used for brainrot anyways?

Popularity. Almost anything that becomes remotely popular has a high chance to get used as brainrot (or basically content farms) for views and such.

I hope this makes sense. 😓

its also really easy to draw, and simple colorful characters appeal to children.

It has all the elements for a brainrot content farm to parasitize it to hell. It's like stars aligned for them.

-Cartoonish, colorful cast of characters

-Simple, easy to replicate/animate designs

-Unsuspected hidden horror (plays into the "mascot horror" genre)

-Catchy, free-to-use beats and tunes

-Easily available assets (it was a scratch project)

-Almost no story, only a few loose canon points. Sprunkis are blank slates

-Its original creator had little to no online relevance so it won't fight back in any way, shape or form

TL;DR: It’s crack cocaine for kids that can be easily reproduced
