It was unprofitable, or at least not profitable by much, when it was run by someone other than a thieving gook fugitive tax cheat who sold user information and outright malicious ads. Moot was only able to make enough to become actually somewhat rich by selling it to said gook.
3) you're fucking retarded
What motivation would Moot have to lie about 4chan not making money? What would he even get out of that? "He wanted donations" he was leaving the site he had zero reason to lie it was already sold.
there is no way in hell the user data of a pack of basement dwelling weebs is worth anything significant
Guess that board is dead for a reason. Makes sense that the sharty GET steal was insta-404'd.
This world is made out of information at this point and it's definitely worth money. And people are paying for it, on (((Faceberg))) and other sites. Yeah on Faceberg it's definitely connected to actual identities but it isn't like it's THAT hard to turn IP data from 4chan into actionable intelligence either.
Yup, once you have the IP address, you have the approximate geographic area, and from there you get the demographic segments when you match against data from Experian or Claritas.
it's called /co/mblr for a reason
All of 4chan is like this. I went to /r9k/ after YEARS and the autistic fucker thats been posting the same thread about chokers was still fucking at it.
I abandoned /co/ and never looked back because you can tell in literally every thread that they do not give a shit about comics or cartoons, they just wanna circlejerk over whichever characters they find hot.
/co/ has been in a zombie state since late 2019.
