Hello fellow citizens of the internet! Andrew here. Welcome to today's edition of web_crawlr.
I hope your weekend is off to a good start. We've got a lot for you today, so buckle in. First, our top stories are about: A DoorDasher who had their $76 tip taken away from them, how a clip of actress Jennifer Lawrence on Hot Ones has become a viral meme, a Frontier Airlines passenger claiming a flight attendant joked about throwing a baby off the plane, and how a digital stalking software leak led to at least 26,000 users being exposed online. After that, we are unveiling our newest seasonal shirt. All you have to do to get our new "Hot Blog Summer" shirt is fill out a short survey (more on that below). We've also got a "One Good Thing" mini-column for you. It's been a minute, but I haven't forgotten about some of you who have told me you want to see more of the "best" of the internet. Anyway, enough from me. See you on Monday!
— A.W.

Jennifer Lawrence appeared on Hot Ones last week, while she was promoting her new film No Hard Feelings. And one segment of dialogue from when Lawrence was in physical distress found a home on TikTok. |

| 'Blogs in Bloom' is over, it's time for 'Hot Blog Summer' |
You read that right: It's time for another seasonal shirt! We've had some fun ones over the last year — "Summer of Scoops," "Scoopy Szn," "Blog the Halls," "Blogs in Bloom" — but now we're introducing "Hot Blog Summer." This design may be my favorite, so big shout out to our Art Director Jason Reed for making it! I know many of you are collecting these so now you've got a chance to add another one to the collection. (Side note: It's awesome that you are collecting all of these! If you've got a pic of all of them, send them to me, maybe we'll shout you out!) To celebrate the new shirt, 20 people who fill out the (super short) survey below will get one! Thanks again for letting us crawl the web so you don't have to! - Andrew |

We cover the "best and worst" of the internet, but sometimes the "best" can get lost in the shuffle. We'll be highlighting feel-good stories from time to time with a new section called "One Good Thing." |
In a viral clip, TikToker Izabel S (@iixabell) shared a "hack" for finding products for cheaper on Amazon via their coupon page. In the 25-second video, Isabel films her laptop screen as she demonstrates how to find and use Amazon coupons. Viewed over 159,000 times, the TikToker was praised by countless users for showing them this simple savings hack. "I was today year's old when I found out you could just look up coupons for Amazon," Isabel explains, using a voice filter. "I used to be the type of person to follow people and wait for them to post the coupon that I wanted to use." Her camera is pointed at her screen as she scrolls through dozens of coupons on Amazon. "But, now literally everything is categorized and you just go through section by section," she says. Isabel then demonstrates how to use the Amazon coupons. "Once you clip it and add it to your cart it automatically applies," she concludes. |
