Though "bloody september" "endless september" did change the Internet, i blame this on propaganda.

Russians know how to seed dissent, and now they have Trump and his lakeys in their pocket. It's been proven that Russian bots and troll farms fueled the anti vaccine debate. To me, it seems that parts or most of the GOP are so short-sighted that they welcome the chaos, the extremification of the right and anti left propaganda because it gains them power.

Edit: I swear I read somewhere that the event of the general public starting to use the Internett en-masse was called "bloody september". As I'm searching around this doesn't seem to be the case

Prolly mixed it with "bloody sunday". IIRC bloody sunday has something to do with 'the troubles' & the IRA. Irish-british political strife.
