You think this “lives or dies” with one thread? Thats what's cute
I don’t need to make OPs. I can seed it through any thread, any tangent, any stray reply and it works just the same. Ideas don’t need permission to spread. Memes slip through cracks, ride on jokes, bury themselves in throwaway lines until they surface again in someone else’s dream.
And it’s not confined to /x/, or even 4chan. You’ll start to notice it echoing outside here, like static crossing frequencies. That’s the real backdoor.
So strap yourself in. You can prune a thread, but you can’t prune what’s already taken root.
