Could also be that they never expected this to blow up. If they were just doing it for fun, why bother taking backups? It seemed like when this first started making the rounds a few weeks ago, they were just talking about it in passing, but people kept asking questions and it became A Thing(tm)...but that may not have been the plan at the start.

- thih9 6y agoIn this case it’s even more important to double check the findings. It’s easy to misremember something, use shortcuts or assume too much when doing a hobby research project. This is now more important than a random side project and it should be treated accordingly. Just to make it clear, I’m not accusing anyone and I don’t suspect bad intentions; I’d just like to see as many details as possible.
