    I was going to say I knew all that and was poking to make it clear to others that literally no one is saying that but then you hit me with “Eternal September 2.0 scenario” haha.

    I’ll have to do a little searching on that one.

    Edit: Ah, I had forgotten.

        Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

        Eternal September or the September that never ended is Usenet slang for a period beginning around 1993 when Internet service providers began offering Usenet access to many new users. The flood of new users overwhelmed the existing culture for online forums and the ability to enforce existing norms. AOL followed with their Usenet gateway service in March 1994, leading to a constant stream of new users. Hence, from the early Usenet point of view, the influx of new users in September 1993 never ended.
