Did not realize it was a story at first and that made it so enjoyable haha. Excellent work.

Saaaame! Hahahah. I was right at “wtf is this conspiracy theory nonsense?!” And was about to stop reading, but I continued one more sentence and realized “it’s a creepypasta!” Lol.

Drop your substack! Let’s grow our community together! It’s like a bloody war cry for the validation seekers.

You are a word-sniper Theo. Loved this, relevant and sharp. Keep tearing the house down with wit and humor. You are good at it.

It took me a hell of a long time to realize this was fiction. Well done. Thanks for the read.

Damn, that was really well set up :D

I saw the post in the note timeline, was curious, read it all and only 3/4 of the way I was like ... "this is a bit extreme isn't it? Almost feels like a story".

Damn well done! Was a fun read.

This was a good Substack creepy pasta. It got me thinking there was a serious glitch.

It reminds me of those "follow for follow" people in content creation. They bring nothing but a number, if they even DO subscribe.

Great article.
