I've managed to never see goatse so far. Not because I'm new or innocent, but because I've learned my lessons. I don't think the 10,000 really applies to this situation. It's certainly not something that everybody needs to see at some point in their lives (or so I've been lead to believe).

I didn't want to see it
But it was kind of a rickroll situation... yeah it sucks
In college my friend came over for a LAN party and when he went to the bathroom I quietly set his background to Goatse… I got quite the chuckle at 3am when he went to shut down his computer after a long night of gaming. Ah to be young again.
> after a long night of gaming.
Wasn’t it more like 3 hours to setup and get the network functioning, and hour of gaming?
That was part of the fun at lan parties.
Or goto a hosted one

Anyone who was a freshmen in college circa y2k saw it about 4000 times. It was one of the first images to which I became desensitized.
Welp perhaps you'd enjoy an album of other people see goatse for the first time:

That was great. Risky click of the day, but well worth it. I think my favorite was Ron Jeremy, of all people, being super dismayed by goatse.
