It's sad how shit 4chan has gotten in recent years. It's almost like gookmoot has just left it to rot. My assumption is that he originally bought it in partnership with companies like Good Smiles as a potential inroad for viral marketing and whatnot, but those corpos pulled out sometime around 2018-2020, and he gave less of a shit than he did beforehand.

It was really the only place you could actually discuss pretty much anything without the totalitarian oppressiveness that you got from Reddit, Twitter, or Tumblr. Even after Elon de-trannied X, it's now just a festering pool of attention-baiting third-worlders posting soap-cutting, "how to make passive income," industrial work vids, etc. in a desperate ploy for a couple bucks.
I think this place is the last real decent place to have good discussions, but even then, there's something unique about discussions on an anonymous imageboard where your posts either aren't traced to you, or only traced per thread.
 
Dude, tell me about it. I remember going to /b/ for the first time thinking it would be the epic hacker hangout of legend and it was just porn. And then you go to any other board and despite having "no porn" rules it's just more lolishit porn.

They even have porn-specific containment boards but that's not enough for these freaks.
B was always like that with the porn but it would usually have an interesting thread every day and periodically have some amazing shit. However once they started getting media coverage the normies took over and just tried to look edgy by posting porn more than anything else. That was a LONG time ago too. It's been limping around on its image from the early days for a long while. it just became a place for tryhards to do what they do best.

It wasn’t always like that. But it’s been that way for quite a while because 4chan is a boomer website now.
