Meatspin is one of the internet's earliest and most notorious bait-and-switch shock sites, first appearing in the early 2000s. It features a looping video of two individuals with a counter tracking how many 'spins' the viewer has witnessed. The site became a staple of early trolling culture, often sent to unsuspecting users as a 'screamer' style prank. Over the years, it has evolved from a simple shock site into a symbol of early 2000s internet nostalgia. Today, the Meatspin meme is frequently referenced in discussions about legacy web culture, shock media history, and the golden age of internet pranks.
