It feels like David jaffe syndrome. Enough people made a thread for every fart that escaped his body, that it inspired others to continue the trend.

Every week there is another 20 mil forecast thread because it's in people's brain that it's what era discusses, because they see it on era all the time!

sure why not, we can spend 10 (or 20 for peasants) pages discussing this again.
i still feel like they're going to achieve their goal, but even if they don't and miss it by a million it won't be a big deal, they're going to more than make up for it with software sales.
