    The title almost makes it sound like some secret or hidden fact. I thought most people were aware of it’s origins.

      It’s actually about the details of how it got started and there were people being interviewed who originated it. I wasn’t going to watch it, but we finally did, and it was way better than I thought it was going to be. They don’t go into the russian manipulation at all, it’s all about the og anonymous, etc.

    I happened to be lurking on 4chan when I first started seeing q shit. I don’t frequent there but occasionally pop in to see their reactions to some event. Anyway, I remember thinking “lol, this is stupider than jenkem… No way this will take off”

    They go over this a little bit in the doc, that’s why I was prompted to post the doc. It was really well made and had a lot of original 4 chan, anonymous people in it. I know a lot of this spilled over into Reddit, which they don’t go over, but I thought I’d mention it for anyone that saw it happening there too.
