Usually you can google this stuff but not this time.. I tried :/
I cannot believe I was there at the beginning. However it still does not help explaining why! Something to do with Olten being boring…..
Even the boomers were making jokes about Olten in pre-internet days.
Olten
Olten has a rich and storied tradition as German-speaking Switzerland’s punchline of choice.
If you’re asking about this sub, specifically, I’d say that recently, Olten has been featured as often as it has thanks to the valiant efforts of the ***Bring Tourists to Olten Initiative***:

Well it probably started around this time: “Early Stone Age cave settlements have been found in the Säli caves.”
Check Wikipedia history.
