For example, an October 21st tweet by user containing both the image and the exploitable received over 100 retweets and 700 likes. The reupload prompted reactions from a number of Twitter accounts which likened the faces of the men in the photo to the Soy Boy Face expression. On October 20th, 2020, John Olberg reposted the photograph on Twitter, later deleting his tweet. On September 4th, 2020, an anonymous /tv/ user posted another meme based on the exploitable. For example, on August 22nd, 2020, an anonymous /v/ user posted an image mocking a Soyjak post made by another user. Starting in late August 2020, the exploitable further spread on 4chan. Through May 2020, the original meme found active spread on 4chan, being reposted in threads on /an/, /co/, /int/ and other boards. The image did not see spread in memes until May 1st, 2020, when an anonymous 4chan user posted a Reddit Moment meme using an exploitable traced from the photograph in a /qa/ (Questions & Answers) thread (post shown below).
