SCP-2842 at time of recovery.

Item #: SCP-2842
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2842 is kept in a Type 2 Humanoid Containment Cell at Site-17. Standard amenities and precautions associated with T2HCC are in place. SCP-2842 has no special medical, dietary, or psychological requirements, and has a Standard Risk Rating of 02/05/00.
SCP-2842 is permitted access to information regarding MTF Omicron-12's operations at the discretion of the MTF leader and SCP-2842's HMCL supervisor. See report on Project Crowdreader [attached] for details of SCP-2842's utilization by MTF Omicron-12.
Description: SCP-2842 is a human male, roughly 21 years of age at time of writing. SCP-2842's anomalous property will manifest when it identifies a social media1 account: it will become aware of the location and content of eleven image files that the operator(s) of the given account will find moderately humorous.2
When SCP-2842 identifies an additional account within four seconds of the prior account, the set of images it identifies will adjust to appeal to the holders of both accounts. In this fashion, SCP-2842 is able to identify sets of images that appeal to several thousand individuals at a time by reading account names in rapid succession.
SCP-2842 possesses a tattoo on its right ankle reading "Mr. Meme, by Gamers Against Weed"; SCP-2842 professes no knowledge of the group, though exposure to the phrase produces an exaggerated laugh response. See interview logs for details.

Interview Logs
The following interviews were performed by Dr. Steele. Several relevant excerpts have been included in this document.

Dr. Steele: So, you mentioned previously that you've only existed for about a year. Is that correct?Dr. Steele: I see. What happened then?Dr. Steele: Do you happen to remember his name, or where he lived? Anything like that?Dr. Steele: That's alright. What happened after you left?
[Extraneous data removed. In summary, SCP-2842 utilized its anomalous properties to operate a large number of social media accounts, using various monetization methods to leverage its online presence into a steady cash flow.]
Dr. Steele: When we found you at the police station, you had been arrested for assault. Can you tell us about that?Dr. Steele: The details?SCP-2842: Anyways, he was dumb enough to start shoving me around while he was at the top of the stairs, so when I pushed back he fell down like a whole flight of them. The cops came like two days later, since he was pressing charges.3
Dr. Steele: Thanks for sharing. How do you feel about all this?Dr. Steele: You didn't like social media?Dr. Steele: I suppose that's not surprising.Dr. Steele: For a comedy account? Sure.Dr. Steele: How many followers did you end up having, by the way?
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Dr. Steele: What can you tell me about the tattoo on your ankle?Dr. Steele: What about 'Gamers Against Weed'?
<SCP-2842 starts laughing. It attempts, and fails, to speak coherently several times. SCP-2842 calms down after four minutes.>Dr. Steele: That's fine. Do you know anything about 'Little Misters' or 'Doctor Wondertainment'?Note: See Document 2842-5581 for further details.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Dr. Steele: You wanted to see me?Dr. Steele: Don't worry about my schedule, that's my assistant's job.Dr. Steele: Sorry for the wait, then. What can I do for you?Dr. Steele: Like what?Dr. Steele: I'm not quite sure what you mean.Dr. Steele: I thought you disliked running those accounts.Dr. Steele: Well… there was a proposal I made a few weeks ago for something like that. It didn't get approved, but if inactivity is taking a toll on your mental health, that would put it in a new light.[Extraneous data removed. See report on Project Crowdreader.]Dr. Steele: I'll re-submit the proposal, then. Which show do you mean?Dr. Steele: Ah, yes, that one.

Project Crowdreader
Summary: SCP-2842 operates in conjunction with MTF Omicron-12, "Nine-Tailed Dox", using its anomalous properties to identify images that are considered humorous by the operators of social media accounts that are of interest to the Foundation. This information is used in conjunction with conventional intelligence and investigative techniques to identify persons of interest and, on occasion, gain additional information on already-identified persons of interest. In return, SCP-2842 is provided with limited information regarding the impact of its assistance.
Purpose: To enhance the capabilities of MTF Omicron-12; to detect changes in SCP-2842's anomalous properties; to improve SCP-2842's morale and encourage cooperation.
Status: SCP-2842 is given an average of four accounts for analysis on a daily basis. In 15-25 cases per month, information provided by SCP-2842 assists in the identification of a person of interest. SCP-2842 reports substantial satisfaction from this activity.
SCP-2842 has repeatedly requested permanent assignment to, and training from, Omicron-12. While SCP-2842 is loyal and reasonably intelligent, and his anomalous properties are a valuable asset, the absence of formal education and pre-existing training makes this option substantially less effective than simply allowing him to operate in conjunction with already-trained operatives. He can ask again when he completes his basic education.- Agent Linda Jepsen, MTF Omicron-12 leader.
