The New York Timesreferred toOstrovsky’s sense of humor as ‘profane,’ mocking social-media culture tropes, as well as the people who propagate them. Meanwhile, Time magazine actually added the influencer to their list of The 30 Most Influential People on the Internet. Ostrovsky claims that he’s the world’s first plus-size model.

Ostrovsky is very outspoken, and he’s not afraid of rocking the boat with his jokes. But some internet users think that his content goes too far and might be slightly inappropriate.
The influencer previouslytoldPopsugar about the way that he finds content to share online. “It’s a variety of things—some of them I make, some of them I find in the crevasses of the internet. And now it’s more like 14-year-olds. You can group DM now on Instagram so what happens is, like, kids will add in celebrities or me, like a Z-lister. So there’ll be like 10 sixth graders, and they’ll add Rihanna, and then like Beyoncé, and me,” he said.
