The controversy began when an influencer posted a video discussing with Krit Sripoomset Krit Sripoomset asking how many likes the clip needed to get free gelato for one month, to which Krit said it must reach 1 million likes, and netizens indeed reached that number.
However, when told, Krit responded by implying that no one really gives such freebies, saying it would cause losses and low profits, suggesting to delete the clip and just offer a couple of gelato cups, sparking heavy criticism.
Recently, Krit posted a screenshot of a LINE chat with his close friend, the famous host Moddam Kachapa Tanjaroen who told him to give the influencer free gelato, saying, "Just give it to them for free, you crazy one," but Krit insisted on refusing and sent a tongue-out sticker, to which Moddam replied, "So cruel."
Krit captioned, "You're joining them in pressuring me to give it to @moddamkachapa. What’s going on? I’ve been receiving DMs all day and night pressuring me to agree. Why should I do what society tells me? The drama from these feed scroungers doesn't affect me; my mind is strong."
He then posted Moddam's message saying, "Just give it to them. Why are you stingy?" Krit replied, "I'm not stingy. I already give free media more than this. These damn social media people pressure me nonstop day and night to agree. I wonder what's wrong with Thai society — why must we obey social media pressure? The more they pressure, the less I give."
He added in the caption, "It's not over, Moddam... I won’t give it. I'm not stingy. You're siding with these feed scroungers @moddamkachapa." Moddam then commented briefly, "You crazy one."
Meanwhile, netizens commented things like: "If you hadn’t promised, no one would mind," "You made the promise yourself," "Confused," "Costs are high; giving free is hard," "Link broke, haha," "Embarrassing, you promised," "What kind of logic is this? You approached them and set conditions for freebies. Imagine if 100 or 1,000 people did this—would you have to give to everyone?" and so on.
