Product placement
Piko Chat (app): Appears as an app store listing and is the name of the creator's account and bio link. It is described as a chat application that allows users to send letters, pixel art messages, and engage in chat rooms, aiming to recreate the fun of the internet from 2006. Its interface is shown, and it is the subject of the video. Removing it would change the video's focus entirely. Piko Chat (website): Appears as the creator's bio link, leading to the App Store page for the Piko Chat application. Removing it would make the app harder to find.
