      I mean I agree but at the same time as someone who kind of got into "Y2K culture" at the time there was a tremendous amount of irresponsible doomsaying, people saying the Y2K problem *could not* be fixed and would *inevitably* lead to the collapse of the global economy

          There were multiple novels about a straight up nuclear exchange caused by Y2K, a bunch of articles saying that all non-Y2K compliant devices would instantly stop working somehow with the rollover, etc

          I think that much as with global warming, exaggeration only hurts the cause, even when the real danger is very dire You don't convince people about global warming with images of enormous tidal waves instantly destroying cities

          Nobody was saying it could not be fixed. People were saying it would be a disaster unless it was fixed. It was fixed.

          A lot of people were saying it couldn't be fixed. Not tech industry experts, more "survivalists", conspiracy theorists and general doomsayers who either stood to profit from inciting panic or simply enjoyed it. And for laymen it could be hard to spot the difference.

          Most of us thought those people were alarmist idiots, though, and they had no technical knowledge or responsibility. So it’s more like there were prototype “QAnon Y2K” people.

          The Q comparison is good. I think of the John Birch Society as a good comparison, pre-internet. I was in charge of Y2K testing and remediation where I worked. I never thought society would break down, but we did work hard to make sure our hardware and software would run.
