- Krit Sripoomseth firmly refused to provide free gelato for a month despite an influencer hitting the 1-million-like target.
- He stated that he dislikes being pressured by social media and values his own decision-making process.
- Krit criticized competing business owners who hopped on the trend, advising them to improve their products instead.
- He also called out close friend Moddam Kachapa for yielding to online pressure.
A heated online controversy erupted after Thai TV personality Krit Sripoomseth posted a clear message on Instagram stating "I won't give it" following a dispute over free gelato for an influencer who conducted an uninvited impromptu interview.
The situation began when the influencer abruptly asked during an interview how many likes were required to secure free gelato for a month. Krit offhandedly replied that it would take one million likes. To his surprise, the clip reached one million likes in just one day, prompting thousands of netizens to flood his comments demanding he fulfill the promise.
This incident highlights the powerful influence of social media algorithms and mob mentality, where public figures frequently face intense pressure from online users to comply with viral challenges, turning casual remarks into high-profile digital disputes.

Krit addressed the backlash in a long Instagram post, emphasizing that while he is a man of his word and has previously given free gelato to influencers, he resented being forced by social media users to obey public demands. He criticized those who spend their time scrolling through feeds and hurling insults without clear life goals.
"เรื่องนี้เริ่มมาจากมี Infu เข้ามาทำ content (ผมไม่ได้จ้าง) ซึ่งมีทุกวันเป็นเรื่องปกติ .. น้องบอกว่าเดี๋ยวผมจะสัมภาษณ์ โดยที่ผมยังไม่รู้คำถามอะไรเลย พอถึงเวลาสัมภาษณ์เค้าก็ยิงคำถามเลย"

Furthermore, Krit lashed out at other business owners who capitalized on the controversy by making critical videos and offering free items themselves, calling their actions inappropriate and advising them to focus on making better products than their competitors rather than chasing viral clout.
Addressing his close friend, TV host Moddam Kachapa—who texted him telling him not to be stingy and commented "You crazy" on his post—Krit remarked that Moddam has changed significantly over the past five years by giving in to internet trolls. He added that he aims to help restore Moddam's fierce attitude.
