While I don't remember his name, I remember there was a Darknet Diaries episode about the researcher who first investigated the problem. The episode was very thorough, I liked it a lot. I also don't remember the name of the episode, so I guess this comment is kinda useless

Your comment was not useless. I learned about a new podcast that I checked out, plus you got to talk about something you liked in a way that made me go look for the episode - haven't found it yet, but found some other, interesting things along the way.

Props for self-awareness and yet still smashing that "reply" button, but I still think your comment is slightly useful. I often just click the "cancel" button once the "useless comment" realization hits me.

Edit: I am wrestling with it now, just after I clicked reply.
