So far I've got:

1. A bunch of likes on social media.
2. A random post on reddit.
3. A youtube channel named with an anagram of Hell Interface displaying a code of some kind, distorted audio and an image of a pier.

Did I miss anything?

I really want this to be something, but my BOCDAR is telling me we're being trolled by someone with too much time on their hands. (As far the likes on Twitter and Instagram, I'm in the camp of those who believe these are not an indication of anything and are probably the work of someone from Warp or possibly MDG.) Please, by all means, convince me I'm wrong and feel free to say, "I told you!".

There was a comment posted on the BOC SAY Awards video the day before the clyp.it was posted on reddit, it said "October 23, 2020" and it was posted by "prospectnyc". I reckon this guy might be the creator of this hoax or might be associated with whoever is behind it.

I didn't see that post, you're right Arvy did mention it so yeah I might be wrong, this might have just been posted by someone here. The mysterious nature of the comment and the short time in between the comment and the clyp.it did seem very coincidental.

People were hyped and then the realisation that it was someone else's promotion, many were pissed, it took a few minutes for people to calm down and congratulate the people involved.
We have to remember it's not our art to get possessive over. That said, this is not BoC, it's fun but it's not BoC.

Nothing to do with Euler’s number. It’s shorthand for 2.28034 times 10 to the 10th power, or 22803400000, an approximation of the exact number 22803411358.

Right. So if we eliminate self advertising what we are left with is either a troll doing it for laughs or actually them. The only reason that a person would want to troll the fanbase of a popular IDM band from the 90s is just because of how reactive we are, but otherwise, what's the point?

Then again, I shouldn't question anything that's happening this year!
