moot was basically a little beta teen who stumbled across a golden website/opportunity

what needed to be done was for him to seek e-business advice. youporn makes ad money and so could 4chan

the way he came up to make money (captcha) is very amateur and anti-consumeristic. for fucks sake you type core captchas here than shopping sites or bank sites

>> No.11695714

He originally claimed the captchas were temporary and only for /b/ to stop some trojan horse spambot. Hiroshim00t is the one who monetized it.

People like to pretend that 4chan is a demographic that's not worth advertising to when in fact it would be one of the richest communities on the internet. Porn sites manage to serve video to third worlders and make money.

>Porn sites manage to serve video to third worlders and make money.

as usual ego got in the way of business. Moot didnt want 4chan to be a porn website and neither does asian moot

they could have kept porn ads only on 18+ boards... Moot was a wage-cuck. instead of fixing his business he went wage-cucking

Problem was that moot actually cared for us. Porn ads are a horrible user experience. He wanted real advertisements and real advertisers don't want to get caught paying money to a site that hosts occasional CP, Holocaust deniers and antisemitism. The social backlash would be incredible a few years back. Now? It could put the advertising company out of business with all the #metoo shit and extended whiteknightery going on

Probably wasn’t a good financial decision to sell, but perhaps he was just tired of the job. Look at the growth since he sold. If Hiro wanted to he could milk 4chan for a lot of ad revenue.

do yo think he will ever get back?

You NEETs wish you were moot. He successfully infiltrated normie land, which is basically what every socially anxious NEET wishes they could do

4chan passes were the first thing I knew of that you could buy with bitcoin. If moot kept even a fraction of what he probably got then it doesn't really matter what the site actually sold for.

moot may have been a huge faggot, but he did care, at least at first. It took forever for him to implement the captchas because he agreed that they suck and only put them in because the site was becoming unusable due to spam.

Captchas are killing the site. I don't think they realise how bad they are. Sometimes it can take two minutes to make a post. I usually just don't bother.

It's infinitely better than the alternative. Literally 9/10 posts were anontalk spam. Not exagexaggerating.

I would credit that more to the bear market. I really think they don't know how bad it is. For some reason my phone is fine, but posting from home wifi with those incredibly slow disappearing captchas is just not worth it.

What? You think spamming 4chan with pedo website ads is in a multi-year bear market?

Captcha was a necessary evil
There was literally so much spam that the site could barely even function since every thread was "Wow amazing girl I cum hard cat hiss at penis"
