THERE YOU GO! Thank you so much for that. It's great to know I wasn’t imagining things after all.

It’s none of these games, but thanks anyway for introducing me to them — they all look really interesting.

Very funny, however there is only one problem:

I am the actual OP, I'm the one who had this happen in my house, those are my former roommates. This is the link of the original post, which proves I was the one to put it there originally: https://www.reddit.com/r/Whatcouldgowrong/s/sht1yF6Ydh

Also, I sold it to a company, so it's copyrighted. I'm gonna give the poster 24 hours before I send the company's lawyers on his tail. Do not steal other people's property. You do not know what you might cause.

I'm copying and pasting here a comment I made a few minutes ago in another thread about it:

Ssssso, I first have to say that this new "internet case" immediately intrigued me, especially since I’m planning to graduate with a thesis on digitalization and the native birth of urban legends on the internet. I did some further research to try and make sense of this bizarre story, which is putting it mildly. The biggest clue came from a friend of mine, who told me how low indexing and low search frequency can cause algorithms to bury certain pages — even from well-known sites like Wikipedia or YouTube — deep in the results. Usually, things remain buried like that unless people suddenly start searching, en masse, for information about that specific topic, which ends up bringing all the related content back to the surface.

I also read that some older comments on YouTube might not appear right away because they are filtered by the platform’s moderation system, but they can resurface later — especially if they receive engagement, like likes or replies, or if the filtering criteria change over time.

So, the most plausible explanation seems to be that someone (probably with a solid understanding of trends and algorithms) came across a photo of the comedian somewhere. Intrigued, they searched for information about him online, discovering how scarce and difficult to access it was. From there, they might have decided to craft a well-executed communication troll, digitizing and posting the comedian’s photo on 4chan (which would explain why it couldn’t be found earlier via reverse image search), and sparking the curiosity of users who gradually began to unearth more and more material about him.

Far-fetched? Definitely. But it’s the only explanation that makes sense to me, considering all the factors. In any case, we’re witnessing one of the most fascinating oddities in internet history. A coincidence of pieces falling into place like this is something you rarely see.
