Gen Z used Reels to invite protest dates at student demonstrations following the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak.
Yash Chandra, a 21-year-old content creator, received 500-600 DMs after posting a Reel about a protest date and later set up a group chat for group attendance.
Chandra arranged a coffee date with a respondent whom he described as a 'curly-haired baddie' after the protest date.
