How it spread

Trace the origin

The pharmacy opened in January 2022, and patient savings posts spread on Reddit and Twitter. Cuban asked users to spread the service; interviews and price studies extended coverage. Insurer partnerships followed, while critics documented limits to its savings.

Proxy date; not a directly measured attention peak. Some dates are known only to the week, month or year.
