I don't think it was even that much a story. Before there was ADTRW the subforum the weebs were caught up in forum drama along with the furries and got purged. This was all very web 1.0 so moot made fourchan as a place to post hentai and shota and it became reddit before reddit was reddit. Just full of cyberpunk wild west energy inst of cia money though. People posted the worst stuff ironically so much it stoped being ironic.
There is also the endless summer effect. Or is it endless fall? I forget. But basically. For lots of us we were simply ironically posting gross things cause we were 13. We grew out of it while others made it their identity. So now that there isn't a singular age cohort the way there used to be things are different as well
