"World's first" implies this is fairly experimental, surely?

"If the internet was useful, everyone would use it" is something that wouldn't stand the test of time, right?

I am most likely the world’s first brudgers.

And at the time I write this, it breaks the world record for HN comments by the world’s first brudgers.

The internet expanded as the result of semi-conductor break throughs made by thousands of engineers with access to semi-conductor break throughs. There was a ‘virtuous’ cycle.

That is not the same thing as a press release. ‘World’s first,’ ‘New Record,’ and ‘Scientists’ correlate with press releases. Press releases make for easy news content and news sites are attracted to them.
