The table below contains information on "successful" 9GAG posts: those that reached at least 100 downvotes or 25 comments. This resource should be used to determine more effective trolling strategies.

You've heard of the '''9GAG''' app.

We all have, the '''legend''', the '''curses'''.

Foolishness about it lying on '''the second page of Google''', buried beneath '''Reddit posts'''.

A dark, decrepit monument leading '''dank memers''' to their doom.

The '''Internet''''s most famous memes and image macros were invited to its [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9gag#History '''Grand Opening'''].

An invitation was a sign of... exclusiveness.

The '''Opening''' was supposed to symbolize a road to a brighter future, not just for the world...

... but for all who scrolled through its posts.

A chance for anyone to '''meme again'''.

Except - '''9GAG''' never flourished.

Its culture got frozen in time, like a big flashbulb going off.

The '''Grand Opening''' - one big ending of hilarity.

It's still out there, in 2012, preserved, just waiting for someone to crack it open.

But getting to it. That's not the hard part.

'''It's letting go.''' </div>

The existence of '''9GAG''' has long been known to many. Created in 2008 by '''Hong Kong''' entrepreneur '''Ray Chan''', it has for years been mocked for its style of humor, with the site's userbase seemingly permanently stuck in the year 2012, its culture never evolving past it as was custom among the other corners of the internet. Furthering their notoriety was the world-famous [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/9gags-meme-monument '''9GAG Meme Rock'''], which to this day strikes cringe in the hearts of even the most unflinching souls. Yet how many had dared open the website for themselves?

The answer, surprisingly, is very few. Though it had remained in plain view for many years, its existence was thoroughly ignored for the large part by the general public. It was not until the '''mod team''' of [[69MoeLester420#The_9GAG_conquest|69MoeLester420]] jokingly created accounts for the website in January 2023 that its secrets would finally be unveiled. What they discovered was a website so horrid, so appalling, yet so endlessly fascinating it had remained their obsession for many months afterwards. It was all it was described as and more, an endless stream of racist content presented in formats that had gone out of fashion a decade prior, lacking any and all self-awareness, combined with a userbase in their 30s so mentally dense it is surprising they haven't collapsed into a black hole.

Any post, no matter how obviously satirical, passes as genuine in the eyes of a '''9GAGGER''', to the point where one has to question their own sanity, weighing whether their mannerisms are all part of a conspiratorial ploy, for there was no possible way a functioning human being could get that irrationally mad over such obvious bait. A '''Tony Zaret''' skit come to life, it is of no surprise that the '''mod team''' started pushing the limits of what they'll fall for, always managing to attain a successful result.

Come the '''SwagBalls-69MoeLester420 Merge''', the knowledge of what was found on '''9GAG''' was suddenly shared with an audience of hundreds. Though it has largely fallen out of fashion, trolling on '''9GAG''' had become a staple hobby of '''69SwagBalls420''' when it was first introduced. With dozens, if not hundreds of posts shared, a large dataset has been created showing many successes and failures that may enable the development of more sophisticated trolling methods in the future.

The table below contains information on "successful" '''9GAG''' posts: those that reached at least 100 downvotes or 25 comments. This resource should be used to determine more effective trolling strategies.
