- BurningFrog 6y agoAs I read it, it was actually (and amazingly) a 65,000 column limit!
- makomk 6y agoI'm pretty sure the "column limit" claim was a false online theory that just stuck around because we're in such a post-truth era that even the definition of post-truth is itself post-truth... The reputable news coverage all said it was the number of rows that was the problem.
- BurningFrog 6y agoNow that you mention it, the story does have that "too inherently viral to be true" smell.
