Scott Pringle he/him

In 2013, I began cataloguing online incidents as a personal research project. At the time, the field of digital humiliation studies did not exist. In many respects, it still doesn't. I am, to my knowledge, the only person maintaining a comprehensive database of main character moments, viral ratio events, and self-inflicted posting disasters.

The archive currently contains 10,247 documented incidents across 14 platforms, classified by severity tier, escalation pattern, and contributing factors. I do not editorialize. I do not offer opinions on whether a post was "good" or "bad." I document what happened, identify the structural factors that caused it, and publish the findings.

People sometimes ask if this work has changed how I post. I don't post. I stopped in 2016 after reviewing my own data.
