Plagued 4chan - the Internet hate machine

The new captcha isn't so bad for replying, but the one with the slider? Fuck that shit.

Hey, don’t stick your nose in something labelled “garbage” and act surprised how it smells.

Hey, don’t stick your nose in something labelled “garbage” and act surprised how it smells.

It's 4chan, what part of it isn't garbage?

Also, the new captcha system really sucks. I don't know if I'm retarded or what, but I can't read most of the codes it gives me. It really kills what little desire I had to post there nowadays anways.

It's really weird to think about 4chan pre-2015/2016. It's two entirely different sites. Ideally, at some point, they'd do something about wojack spam. I genuinely have no idea why it's still allowed. I've made regular posts to a thread and ate a ban or warning for some arbitrary reason, but it seems like a wojack can stay up pretty much forever.

NSFW threads get weird too. /v/ is a blue board, but you'll get loli threads up forever, while regular, non-rule breaking threads get purged. The moderation is all over the place. There's supposed to be a rule set a few years ago that allows for one meta thread per board up at any given time, but the janitors delete those threads. There's pretty much no way for most people to actually communicate the problems going on.

I really miss 8chan. For all the problems it has, a lot of the boards at least cared.

So did they really add tranny mods? Thought I was trolling too hard but got the 3rd ban in one month. At least one ban was random and seemed to happen after what was an interaction with some discord SJW mod.

Can the mods on 4chan see the whole user post history like they could on 8chan? They seem to act the same way as reddit mods who ban for problematic posting history.


Any idea how he makes money with the site and how much he paid for it? He did nothing to stop the data mining, he's giving it away for free and no one clicks on the cringe ads. I remember 8chan once had a new interface which was superior to what 4chan uses, why is the guy keeping the site if it makes no money and he has no intention in making it better?

Yes, they really have tranny mods. Gookmoot doesn't do anything but datamine the site. After Moot cleaned house with the old guard he replaced them with his new Google acceptable friends. The jannies are all trannies and over sensitive types. Some of them are infiltrators from bunkerchan trying to warp boards. Other boards are corrupted by their subject becoming trannified, like /tg/ and /co/.

They can see your full IP post history. 4chan's interface hasn't changed and lacks major features. Multi file uploads being the most annoying one.

Chanology killed the site. Post-election didn't change things very much, instead of /b/ breaking containment it was /pol/ doing it. /pol/ had the benefit of saying nigger which was more in keeping with the original direction of the site.

Jannies are a force all of their own. There are bots and companies spamming catalogs for their own purposes and NEETS with severe autism phone posting the same content hourly. They would post wojaks and pepes any way and the userbase they have are brain dead enough to be making the wojak edits. Meet them outside of 4chan and you see them acting the same in twitch chats and other related places. They like wojaks and pepes enough to spam them every where. Buck breaking was the latest viral meme and all the 4chan streams watched it and spammed chat for a week.

8chan's biggest boards are on the webring now. We have a Mark Mann thread if you want to come hate on cake kike.

daily reminder that /gif/ exist which is going fast due to literal niggerbaits

The time has come to document the phenomenon of Gooseposting:

Across the porn boards, you'll often encounter "you become the girl below you" threads, which are just dumps of images/gifs/webms of girls the various posters like, and the premise of the thread is 'contribute, and you are magically transformed into the girl someone else posts immediately after you' as a weird headgame to encourage posting to image limit. Very tranny thought process though. One day, an overly thoughtful Anthony Edwards poster thoroughly turned these rules over and over in their head, and explained their logical complaints in a pasta that is now recurrent in nearly every thread. It's very popular as you can see by the responses, in the same vein as dutiful 4AM pudding, FRRRRRIDAY NIGHT or E3 Squilliam posters, and it's very transphobic.

Not to be confused with gooseposting, a forced meme of a forced game now demoted to reddit. You'll find this on /gif/ most commonly, but also /sneed/, /hc/, rarely other boards like /aco/ or /co/. I don't know which board it originated on since I browse them all but /gif/ and /sneed/ are the most likely progenitors of Gooseposting, and it's roughly 12-18 months old from my observations. Even Know Your Meme doesn't have this analysis, and will direct you to a greentext story about martial arts or the game if you try to search it today.

The ads are basically a donation to 4chan to get your funny meme on the site plus there's still the 4chan passes. It's suspected that Hiroshima Nagasaki uses 4chan to harvest data which he sells to companies and governments, and it's also suspected that 4chan is compromised and controlled opposition given Hiroshima likely has links to intelligence agencies in Japan and the US.

it's not that bad, at least you don't have to pick all the fucking mountains and have the captcha fail on you anyway. Granted, I can't get it to work unless I try making a new thread while 4chanx is disabled, but that'll be fixed soon enough (and I can still make low-effort phoneposting shitposts).

One time I had to identify all the parking meters and it wouldn't let me pass until I clicked the mailbox.

I always wondered what any company would want with the data gathered from 4chan? Are 4Chan-ers a particularly distinct demographic anyone wants to sell things to? It kinda feels to me you'd much rather want twitter / facebook / google data since that's much broader and more detailed.

I liked the old street sign transcription captchas.
The new ones are okay but it took me a few tries before I really got on its wavelength.

Actual IQ test questions would be pretty funny. Go to make a post and be presented with one of these

With VPNs banned the datas more reliable. There's a lot of leftists wanting data on /pol/ to create papers they can use to prove the KKK is posting nigger every second of every day.

You don't need spy shenanigans to know that, just click on /pol/.

The bans make sense then, at least reddit does not pretend you're anonymous. Are most people posting on 4chan aware of the fact that they're not anonymous and instead have a profile like on reddit that tranny mods can see? They always cry about reddit being a shithole but 4chan seems worse now.

That's what I'm saying, Hiroshima can't really sell data since researchers can just use the 4chan archive to harvest it for free as they did before:

Before 2016, most research on 4chan and similar sites was anthropological and ethnographic. Quantitative research was minimal. Gabriella Coleman (2014) combined observation with participation in her analysis of Anonymous, combining detailed descriptions with extensive chatlogs. Whitney Phillips (2015) mapped the relationship between online trolling and mainstream culture using a ‘qualitative, mixed-methods’ approach employing extensive interviews and ‘thousands of hours’ of observation. Jessica Beyer (2014) examined ethnographically the evolution of political consciousness in four different online communities, including Anonymous/4chan. There is less qualitative or ethnographic research charting 4chan’s evolution after Anonymous grew apart from it in 2011, with the exception of Angela Nagle’s influential Kill All Normies (2017).

The only quantitative research examining 4chan before 2016 was by Michael Bernstein et al., who looked at anonymity and ephemerality on the site. More has emerged since but remains limited to a relatively small research community. We now have statistics on the ephemerality of posts and the extent to which users maintain anonymity (Bernstein et al., 2011). We know that 4chan/pol/ users habitually discuss ethnicity, often using hate speech (Zannettou et al., 2018a). Hine et al. (2017) found that 12% of posts contained a term defined in the Hatebase database as hate speech, whether used seriously or ironically (p. 7). They also found evidence of raids outside 4chan on YouTube, and attempts to spread hate speech and bypass automated prevention software. Research confirms that 4chan/pol has substantially influenced the Internet’s ‘meme ecosystem’, and that conversations on the board are frequented by known Alt-Right personalities and peppered with anti-Semitic memes (Mittos et al., 2019; Zannettou et al., 2018b).

It makes more sense that it's controlled opposition if Hiroshima is paid to not do anything that would make the site more anonymous and harder to harvest.

4chan is reddit in denial. It's easy to see how much cross posting happens in any creative general with similar social media groups.

Big tech is to trying train systems to de-radicalize white supremacists by their own admission. Being able to track an IP across the site and many years gives you much better data than each thread being it's own set. If you want to dig deep and go full /x/ then they could use the IP data to find the people trying to organize locally and drop off the next immigrant boat onto that region. Disrupt the community waking up to the big picture before it can unite. Hope not hate, ADL and JIDF would be more than willing to buy /pol/ data. If we're already in /x/ territory, how many of the jannies are from groups like that? How many are Chinese spies collecting data to send back on how to develop memes able to get over with the west?

4chan is one of the biggest websites on the internet and Gookmoot paid a fortune for it. You don't spend that sort of money every month on server costs and not see a return. Jlist's onaholes aren't keeping the lights on so something else is. Didn't he make millions off of data mining 2channel?

>pony content outside /mlp/
quick reminder that bronies are hated by pretty much everyone and even on red boards like /trash/ or /b/ you can't post pony content either.

The new captcha isn't so bad for replying, but the one with the slider? Fuck that shit.

petition for null to add the sliding captcha.
also it's per board, you need to solve the sliding captcha a certain amount of times until the browser gives you a cookie that board will use to give you easier captchas.
it's on all boards.

That's a death sentence for the site

bbcposting increased by 100% on some boards after the new captcha, i really don't think so.
this captcha was literally introduced "today", of course people are having issues with it.
