What this was
Ask Me Anything: a thread where somebody states who they are, proves it, and answers whatever is asked. Reddit's most exported invention, and the one that made the site a place public figures went on purpose.
It first appeared in 2009, during early YouTube.

Behind the recordWhere it came from
There is no original to identify: this spread through many separate posts at once rather than from a first one. ViralWorld holds no copy of it either — what it was, when it spread and what people called it is the record.
Nothing here is claimed to be the first version of this, because research established there was not one — it appeared in many places at once.
Not established. This index only names a creator where the evidence supports it.
