Why would Black Hat want to wait a year to post the videos? --172.70.131.24 06:05, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- To let the grass grow and hide the disturbed soil. No idea what the explanation is talking about. 172.64.236.12 06:20, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
Also, I don't know what this means: "This is a particularly interesting caveat given the fact that this comic was only posted on February 16, 2024, which is quite early into 2024. The most likely explanation is that this comic takes place at a much different time than the date of publishing, hence making the time Black Hat would need to wait to post the videos much earlier/later (although later would create more questions than answers) than the date of the comic would suggest." Since the caption says that Black Hat's plan was "extremely effective", presumably Black Hat announced his plan to his co-workers some time ago, then arranged to plant the treasure chests, then posted the videos, and after that the lawn care company started getting lots of customers. This plan could have taken place at any time since online videos became common; YouTube started in 2005, for example. Nothing here implies that Black Hat is only announcing his plan now; the opposite is true, since the caption indicates that his plan was indeed very successful. --172.69.7.177 06:23, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
