How embarrassing that this is what people are doing to create viral content.

    Holy shit that had been what I have been saying from what we learned in the BBS days.

    Basically anyway:

    • everyone one on the internet is a liar
    • stay anonymous, and because everyone else is too: see rule 1
    • dont feed the trolls.

      I wish my real name was Lucifer :(

      But also, I wanted to look up the history of BBS and had to spell out “bulletin board” to get the right results from DDG, so maybe what you learned thirty+ years ago just isn’t common sense among people that weren’t even on the internet when that market collapsed.

      (I myself didn’t see the heyday either; I learned those lessons in games and on forum boards in the aughts and tens.)
