Man, this just flashbanged my brain a bit making me remember all those novelty reddit accounts that used to be so popular back in the day like Unidan. Kind of crazy how fast all that shit died off right around the same time. There was a smaller one called JamesAndTed that made little short story sketch prompts that had a decent following going, then he tried to launch a patreon and profit off it and it imploded, IIRC, lol.
Probably few that didn't try to monetize their shit after a while.
Nowadays it's just gotten ridiculous, any tweet that blows up you have your average Joe promoting their online store or website or random referral link in the reply to cash in on his 5 minutes of fame.
