At the height of One Million Checkboxes's popularity I thought I'd been hacked. A few hours later I was tearing up, extraordinarily proud of some brilliant teens.

Gay men thirsting over the lithe sun-kissed swimmers’ bodies of Team Italia and lesbians thirsting over a woman in a backwards hat and a severe bob doing shooting—this is what those people at Stonewall died for

🔥 How I broke the internet today and what lessons can we learn from it? #Crowdstrike 🧐

Several things that make it a good fake that worked: 👇
1. No culprit named yet, I bring it on a platter, people like to have a culprit.
2- The culprit seems completely stupid, he is proud of his stupidity, he... takes his afternoon off on... the first day of work...
3- This falls right into a huge buzz in which people absolutely need to have new information, and a fake is by nature new, you won't read it anywhere else
4- In English = very easy to share internationally, with the vast majority of people who have no idea who I am.
5- Baby fingers are stupid, but they distract people from other things (like the fact that I have a horn on my head because of bad clipping)
6- Confirmation bias: People want to believe it, it's so funny. “I like the information, so it is true.”
7- The information is pushed ironically by people who know that it is a joke, and then it arrives in the litteral zone which amplifies it even stronger.

@petitroll Congrats though!

You have to be a leading lady but you can’t be nominated for best actress. You have to be a strong female director but you can’t be nominated for best director. You have to have a wildly popular dance song but you can’t be nominated for best original song.
