Y2K? The original global Gates conspiracy

I have been amazed that I’ve never heard anyone do a deep dive into the Y2K hoax. I remember the global hysteria (or maybe it was US propaganda masquerading as global hype) and then…a complete nothing burger. Does anyone know of a guest or researcher who has done work into this. I find it astounding that Gates had his hand in this one, too. It really manipulated the minds of millions of people.
