| 2024-10-24 17:33 | Diff · History | 17 | Rearranged some content. Moved content from the lede into a new section titled "Expert view." Based this on the bigfoot pages section "Scientific view."

| 2024-09-29 01:26 | Diff · History | 22 | →In popular culture: Adding "Attribution needed" tag. Not sure if this will remain up but I'm pretty sure there is a citation somewhere someone could find for this claim. |
| 2024-09-24 20:00 | Diff · History | -17 | changed word to avoid repeating it in same sentence. Dropped word that has been moved up in the sentence. |

| 2024-09-20 03:34 | Diff · History | 88 | →SocialAI: specified that it was directly linked to the DIT in a Ars Technica article. I'm suspicious of this rapid inclusion as possibly promotional, but will assume good faith for now. |
| 2024-09-18 21:23 | Diff · History | 28 | →In popular culture: listed another example of online forum that was mentioned by Atlantic article. As this topic is more widely covered by informal media, I think it is useful to specifically mention prominent examples named in mainstream media. |

| 2024-04-07 20:35 | Diff · History | 317 | Added citation to Romanian Diplomatic Policy institute policy paper on this topic. This is a non-English source, and adds value in that it is a different type of source then we have. Search the document for "dead internet theory" (they provide this word in English) and you can use Google Translate to read the paragraph. Translation makes use of the words "conspiracy theory." |

| 2024-03-17 17:19 | Diff · History | 1,062 | Based on talk page and discussion with User:Lollipoplollipoplollipop, split "Claims and evidence" section into two sections. The "claims" now breaks the theory down into two parts, the support for the theory and the thesis of the theory based on the original post and the Atlantic article. This may need to be elaborated on. |

Claiming it is objective, or just a theory, is original research. We may need more on the "conspiracy" aspect of it in the article, but that is the word used in multiple sources. |
