The internet is wild, people spend most of their time in small echo chambers and they think that is the whole internet.
I mean, back when this was a meme the whole internet was like a single echo chamber, especially in the early days of YouTube and even more so prior.
No. No it wasn't. I've been here since YouTube started and have never seen this. People thinking they're experience is everyone's experience is wild.
Had a colleague that told me about some memes with a gay porn star. He couldn't grasp that I neither know the guy nor the memes. Allegedly they were all over the internet for years. I've never seen any of them since.
This guy is a libertarian right wing incel, so I'm pretty sure our internet experiences are completely different.
