On her website, Aghdam accused YouTube of "filtering" her videos to prevent them from getting views and embedded a video from prominent YouTube star Casey Neistat complaining about YouTube's demonetization policy, known as the adpocalypse.

Aghdam's YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram accounts appear to have been deactivated. Her Dailymotion page is still online.
Many of her social media posts focused on being vegan and exercise alongside graphic videos of animal cruelty.
