 * Symbol possible vote.svg Wow. I like to think of myself as a Young Person who is With the Times but then I read stuff like this and realize how quickly things get weird when you're not paying attention. This article does a good job tackling this bizarre niche, even for novice readers (read: me, etc.). New enough (July 18), long enough (11,048 characters), offers neutral and broad coverage, well cited throughout, one possible instance of copyvio but the source is a YouTube video that more likely copied the article's content and not vice versa, hook 156 characters, interesting, cited in Bloomberg ref and in article. QPQ still needed, otherwise ready to go. Good work!  Bob Amnertiopsis ∴ChatMe! 06:16, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
