I've made this claim before, but until now it's mostly been a "trust me bro."
This thread is here to document what happened using archived forum data and timelines. I'll likely be referencing this thread a lot in the future.
Members who were active around/before June 2025 will probably remember DIY filler becoming much more common over the following months. A number of those people have told me they believe my threads played a major role, but anecdotes alone aren't enough.
Instead, let's look at the data.
1. Growth of DIY Filler discussion
I collected the number of posts per month using the Advanced Search feature on this forum.
The information I entered was in the format:
Newer than: 2025-01-01
Older than: 2025-02-01
Information collected like this was labelled as "Jan-Feb 2025", but in reality it represents January only.
The graph above is based on those monthly searches.
Discussion remained relatively low for most of 2025, before increasing rapidly after my first guides. Following the release of my DIY Chin Filler guide, discussion continued to increase month after month, eventually reaching well over twenty times the activity seen at the start of 2025.
2. Was this just because Looksmax.org grew?

Discussion of DIY fillers continued increasing even during a period when overall interest in Looksmax.org declined, suggesting that DIY filler discussion was not simply proportional to overall forum popularity.
3. Timeline & Reach
I started discussing DIY filler around September 2025, made plans and publicly announced them in October-November 2025, and posted my now-BOTB, Viral DIY Chin Filler guide on the 1st of December 2025.
Something going "viral" is relative to the size of the community
The original thread received 32,000 thread views, 500 replies, 300 reps, roughly 300 private messages & tags on here & discord asking me about doing DIY filler (Some of these came months after the thread was posted though)

These numbers only represent people who interacted with me directly. They don't include Discord reposts, TikTok videos, screenshots, or people learning from reposts of the guide.
On top of that, the guide has been referenced hundreds of times on Discord, and tons of users have credited me as either creating the guide or introducing them to DIY filler
This TikTok received over 23,000 views and 1,100 likes while directly crediting me
If you search "DIY Chin Filler" on TikTok, 9/10 times you'll see someone mention me in the comments, credit me in the description, or reference my guide.

This original video by another Dutch YouTuber with 50,000 subscribers also covers it
Combined, these two videos have around 350,000 views and 13,000 likes.
My guides were a major early catalyst in the popularization of DIY filler on the forum, and in the community.
@Sayori, @goku21, and @Veridic are all extremely knowledgable individuals, Sayori & Goku weren't very active during 2025 though, Veridic has been an expert on DIY Filler even before I heard about it, but hasn't gone out of his way to share it with people like I have.
I have gotten messages from people on .com to gatekeep DIY Filler from retards, but who really cares.
