How it started
Discussions has started at 13.12.2024 when Eric Conner criticized Bankless guys for being intellectually dishonest and using their platform the shill/advertise the Ethereum competitors under the disguise of “just asking questions” without disclosing about the incentives of themselves as well as the guests.
Manifestation of the MEME
This tweet has gathered a lot of reaction and echoed all over CT by multiple influential figures and spiked a discussion of concerns everyone had. It struck a chord because during the last couple of years (even in the last bear market), we have seen many people FUDing ETH under the disguise of criticism. Even though the criticism was directed towards Bankless, people have resonated because it has been a common practice for the podcasters to create fud and shill other tokens without disclosing conflict of interest.
A day after, the Concernor meme has been manifested by Vance Spencer on the tweet he made criticizing the people who act like they are concerned but instead use their platform to create a FUD and shill their bags. He first described this action as $ETH Concern Trolling.

Proof of memeability
The tweet has summarized the pattern/behaviour so well, it echoed even more around the CT and resulted in Jimmy Ragosa creating what we call the OG meme the same day which confirmed the memeability of this concept and inspired us to move forward and do something with it.
