I feel like I saw people saying this back in 2007 (with different terminology, ofc). Kids just like in-jokes and being ironic. It's not ruining the Internet, big business is what's ruining the Internet.

Back in 2007 Jagex ruined the Internet by adding the EOC update to Runescape

EoC came later, 2007 was the summoning update. EoC was 2012.
