YesYes

The YesYes emote features a close-up image of a cat with a wide, somewhat mischievous smile. The emote conveys a sense of approval, satisfaction, or agreement, but with a slightly devious or smug undertone due to the cat's expression. It's often used to express enthusiastic agreement or approval in Twitch chat.

YesYes was uploaded to BetterTTV (BTTV) on April 30, 2021, by a user named Kabrewie. The emote is part of the third-party emote ecosystem that extends beyond Twitch's native offerings. The image appears to be a close-up of a cat's face with a distinctive smile, which has become recognizable in the Twitch community. Unlike some more famous emotes with well-documented histories, YesYes has a relatively recent origin as part of the expanding collection of animal-based reaction emotes that gained popularity in the early 2020s.

YesYes is typically used in the following contexts:

• When viewers strongly agree with something a streamer has said
• To express satisfaction when something goes according to plan in a stream
• As a response to good news or positive announcements
• When something amusing or entertaining happens that viewers approve of
• Sometimes used ironically when something obviously bad or wrong is happening, similar to how other approval emotes might be used sarcastically

The emote is particularly effective when viewers want to convey enthusiasm or eager agreement with a hint of mischief, distinguishing it from more straightforward approval emotes.
