What do you think of anonymous forums and imageboards?

[fruitful]

Are they interesting? Cancerous? Outdated? What's your opinion?

4chan is in control by someone known for selling his users informations to big corporates, 8chan is in control by someone praised by many people on the internet for being a trustworthy individual.

To be honest, i have no problems with anonymous imageboards and forums as long as they aren't posting illegal shit.

Their site format is so outdated even since I had internet in 2009 I never understood how it functions. Some people in it take its "community culture" way too seriously, and the anonymous nature of it gives freedom to be as hateful and snarky as humanly possible (especially /v/ and lolcow.farm) and that doesn't seem to be healthy on the long run.
I hope they have fun though.

They produce amusing content at times. I'd say they're fun to watch but I don't care to participate.

I stopped posting there once Hiroyuki Nishimura bought the site because of what he did with 2channel, though I still like to lurk on 4chan from time to time.

I remember Mister Metokur making a video mentioning this as well.

Dox them all, let God sort it out

All of the above plus you're a fag and fuck you.

I think they're interesting. I mean, remove a face from a person, and what you are left with is who they really are.
What gets me really pissed though is that they really like to pretend that they're not a hivemind like 'leddit' or any other social network. Like come on, every community, anonymous or not, is a huge circlejerk because, well, it's what it's supposed to be: it's a group of like-minded people.

 

[Flowers For Sonichu]

I like it because I can spread unsubstantiated rumors about forum members on /cow/

 

[Shokew]

They're all scum and save for the few times there's good content, far too much is circle-jerking garbage like any other social media site out there. The only advantage there is that no one knows who you are until you're stupid enough to post a username for yourself there.

 

[AJ 447]

I don't care, as long as they deal with CP that gets posted.

 

[Organic Fapcup]

They're a cesspool of CP, criminals and scummy people, at least if you take the internet too seriously. In reality, larger boards are as normie as it gets and smaller boards are pretty chill. /pol/ is a satire board that doesn't realize it.

 

[XYZpdq]

Good for posting images and bullshitting with people about them for fun.

Bad for serious business stuff.

 

[CriscoRocket]

It takes too much effort to derive enjoyment from them. I want to find my laughs, and gtfo, I’ve got other things to do.

 

[trashboatwillie]

they're fun to browse but a massive waste of time to participate in past high school
once you actually turn 18 4chan kinda loses its appeal lol

 

[c-no]

More or less hugboxes of their own kind with their own autism.

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

4chan got that stupid fucktard worker who stepped on the lettuce at Burger King fired, so I like that site for that reason.

 

[drtoboggan]

They’re gay and unrealistic.

 

[Ravelord]

All of the above plus you're a fag and fuck you.

You forgot to mention that the reason he is a fag is because he is OP.

He probably posts on these sites, having nothing better to do but get into slap-fights with people clearly younger than him, too... Pretty sad if true.
