I got the idea since I saw someone mention it a day or two ago that someone should write a book on all of this.
I decided to start and outlined it below.
I essentially want to tell the tale of the election and how it led to 4chan/Reddit investigating this whole thing.
I won't be selling it. It'll be free but I do think it's an important tale and would be of interest for anyone looking into learning more about the topic. I think as much as the pictures and links help, if someone doesn't know the full story then they will never be able to connect the dots.
What do you guys think, should I?

Being here and now gives you a unique advantage. Whatever happens, in a decade from now, this website, the Reddit, the 4Chan posts, the pastebin documents, the archived files etc. will be obscure or non-existent. Take notes, save important information for posterity, document.
Here's the truth: we don't need tomes, books, or lengthy articles. We have enough of these. What we need are popularizers; people who can condense the most important information into the tiniest space possible.
People here don't know a damn thing about rhetoric, PR or advertising. We're a bunch of nerds, tin-foil conspiracy theorists who are excited to probably be right for once, or just ordinary people from every walk of life. We can't communicate our findings to the public in a succint and shocking way. Our radical idealism and unrestricted honesty is seriously stunting the movement.
Basically, I don't think you should write a book. I think you should focus on getting this to the masses. Once they are curious, they will find an abundance of introductory guides.

I disagree. If they are curious they will find a bunch of things saying its fake news and has been debunked. Also I don't really do social media so my ability to spread is limited :(

The operative term here is, "if they are curious". They're not. Most people aren't curious. Most people don't believe - and don't want to believe - they live in a country where the government enables a mass child predator ring to operate in Washington D.C.
They aren't curious; they are annoyed. They have a worldview that they wish to validate, and their shields are nearly impenetrable. So the point is developing content that penetrates those shields quickly and effectively.
Don't worry about your ability to spread. If you can make something concise, succinct, and effective, this community will spread it for you.
ALSO, this isn't to shut down your efforts. If you want to do this, then by all means, go ahead. Since you asked for input, I just don't think this is what we really need right now.

Thanks, I appreciate your opinion. And you're mostly right, a lot of people are annoyed, but there are a lot of people who are very curious and don't know where to begin to look. You would be surprised how many people I've mentioned it to, they ask about it, then they come back the next day saying they read it was fake.
