Good to know. Again see
It remains that the word, much like "kekistani", once it appears within the 8ch domain, becomes a signal flare for potential analysts. What is effective at getting the word to spread, and what isn't?
They don't need our IPs at all, they're just a means to an end.
I'm going to try and phrase it differently to make it more clear:
Say I am trying to figure out a method to meme. I am a Shareblue leader who wants to tap into the Trump online presence, but have no idea what the fuck a "Warhammer" is or what a "Spurdo" is.
My first mission is to find out what a meme is
After observation, I understand that a meme is a cultural sentiment that is depicted in a way that "catches on" with a given population.
My second mission is to find out how to create them
What is the best way to find out how memes are created? By watching them form and tracking how they develop.
So how are you going to track memes?
Take these two pepes - how would a reverse search engine even know to associate these two things together? It would be nearly impossible. So as a Shareblue boss, I would see that the resources needed to successfully associate such disparate images with an acceptable signal to noise ratio would be impractical.
But a word? The word "thot" could be abstracted as "thot, Thot, THot, THOt, THOT, t.hot, th.ot" etc. almost instantly with a script that a high schooler could write in about 5 seconds, and a search for this word, as it occurs within the 8ch domain, could be observed in REAL TIME with relatively little resources and computing expertise. Paired with a visual trend chart of usage and contexts, I would gain a lot of insight into how the word was used, what images and themes were commonly associated with it, and how often it was used, which would give me clues as to how the meme itself would form.
