INNOVATE: Annoy people.

In an unexpected turn of events, a small startup has taken the tech world by storm with their unique approach to digital interaction. The company, named 'Innovate', has launched an app that is rapidly gaining traction, but for reasons that have sparked both amusement and controversy.

The app, titled 'Annoy', has a singular purpose: to, well, annoy. It's an unprecedented move in the world of tech, where companies typically strive to provide user-friendly, intuitive, and often entertaining experiences. 'Annoy', however, flips this script entirely.

Here's how it works: users can set up customized annoyances, such as sending a barrage of identical messages to a contact, automatically setting off a person's ringtone every minute, or even syncing up with smart home devices to turn lights on and off at inconvenient hours. The recipient? Completely unaware of the harassment's origins.

"It's a bit of a joke, really," laughs the app's creator, Emily crashed), "We never expected it to blow up like this. We just thought it would be funny to create something disruptive, something that goes against the norm."

'Disruptive' is indeed an understatement. The app has seen a meteoric rise in downloads, with users drawn to its novelty and misplaced outrage. It's become a sensation, especially among stressed-out students, office workers seeking revenge on colleagues, and mischievous friends.

However, not everyone is finding the humor. Some critics have accused 'Innovate' of promoting cyberbullying and encouraging antisocial behavior. "It's absurd," says parenting expert Dr. Rachel Green, "We're already dealing with so much digital toxicity. This app is just adding fuel to the fire."

Innovate, in response, has maintained that the app is intended for humorous use only, and that they've included safety measures to prevent misuse. For instance, users can only target people they're connected with, and the app automatically stops if a recipient resists three times.

But is that enough? As 'Annoy' continues to sweep the globe, it's raised serious questions about tech ethics and digital responsibility. Are we taking things too seriously, or is this just another example of how far we'll go for a laugh in the age of memes and viral challenges?

One thing's for sure: whether you love it or hate it, 'Annoy' is here to stay, at least for now. And as the saying goes, there's no such thing as bad publicity.
