It feels like a psyop started by one guy or a small groupe of people. There's nothing about it on ED, nothing on lurk moar… What do you think?

its supposed to make fun of how redditbros try to be quirk and offical when typing and type similarly to this:
[paragraph 1]
space
[paragraph 2]
later on it got picked up by /qa/ and it was used for formatting

But a lot of people where using spaces between sentences, before 2016.

Look at archives. I'm pretty sure that a lot of them weren't redditors.

I took a look on a french forum and people are using this kind of spacing, even if reddit isn't super popular there.

I think that this meme needs to be thrown to the trash.

its just a formal way of writing and since internet forums are just not this deep theyre making fun of reddits gay over seriousness

I think that this kind of spacing is just an internet standard. I remember reading a pasta mocking this meme, I don't remember where on 4chan.
