Very similar progression for me. Around 2017/18 I was trying to get free bitcoin on scammy faucet and survey websites that were numerous at the time. I had a bunch bookmarked and would visit daily at work. I didn't realize I had missed the boat on getting any significant Bitcoin this way by several years. But these sites were all sponsored by the absolute worst ICO scams and this thankfully inoculated me against shitcoinery. At the same time I discovered Andreas on YouTube, who gets all the credit for my initial orange pilling. Then listened to every TFTC/RHR, same as you, plus all the other pods.That got me into Bitcoin Twitter, which succeeded in getting me to attend BBB in 2019, and I've been a full fledged maxi ever since.
