I dunno. Y2k was Armageddon type fearmongering. The impact of crowdstrike was big, but only really stopped things for a day or so. Definitely not the "planes falling out of the sky and global banking crashing" type of shit promised for Y2k.
A shitload of work went into preventing Y2K from having the impact people worried about.
It wasn't all fearmongering.
