I appreciate his stance against moderation in general, his understanding for the need for anonymity online that still today almost nobody seems to understand, and his lack of censorship.

>refusing to aggressively moderate bad behavior
I think this is a very good thing.

The days of /b/ posting child porn to fuck with the mods were not a bad thing. It was much better than anything we have now but it's so impossible to ever recreate that atmosphere that I don't think anyone who wasn't a part of it will ever understand it.

I don't give a fuck about CP. I'd love those days of unrepentant edginess and elitism to return. But his lukewarm attempts to stop /b/, /pol/ and /v/ from inviting half the internet back here completely failed and helped lead to the current state of things. The only thing keeping 4chan decent was that outside perception it had as a sewage dump, however shallow and inaccurate it may have been. Instead we got /soc/. Elitism and thread bombing came to be discouraged and even banned.

blog post:
I came here as the summer-cancer of 2010, as a collective I'd say 'our' greatest fault was developing an insecurity complex from being called newfags in our process of learning board/chan culture, the over reaction was retards who after a month here would feel the need to assert their misguided belonging to the 'inside group' by expressing a we vs. them rhetoric such as vocally hating reddit and tumblr telling people to go back there. I someone tells you
>my secrit internet club
in response to your pathetic antagonism of all the rest of the internet chances are they're from pre-2010 and you're an idiot.
Fappening, Gamer Gate, KEKistanism were all destructive in bringing too much people too fast making their influence on the before them current user base larger than the opposite.
The single wort thing to have happened 4chan however is the retardification of /pol/ and its leaking to all other major boards, many of you have no idea how sad that shit is in how much worse it's made 4chan. Makes me miss 1 month elitists.

And hating 9fag and leddit was because they "stole" our memes because they did before they even knew what that word meant.

Shit like Doge and all the 2010 style "FUUUUUUUU" terrible comics that /b/ learned to make fun of actually came from 4chan. All of that did. But leddit "stole" it and made them not funny because they didn't understand the morbid humor they had in the first place.

It feels extremely weird that the same image macro style memes with that 2 lines of meme font that was used to make 9/11, rape, and school shooter jokes in 2007 here is now something I have to see on billboards all around my city being used as advertisements by major corporations.
And none of them will ever know where it came from. "Lol check out this funny thing 'the Internet' made" used to mean something came out of 4chan but they'll never know that because that's the way they were spread intentionally.

Just the concept that "memes" as a concept exists outside of 4chan now, as it has for like 9 years I guess, is incredible to me. I never asked for >>4697522 side of me to start cropping up in real life in ways 4chan doesn't control. The duck rolling meme appearing in the Macy's Day Parade was something 4chan was funny and felt like something had been pushed by 4chan into the mainstream as a joke. But it's not like that anymore.

These companies have no idea what they're doing or that the kind of fundamental "meme" idea that they all think was organically created by the Internet, since leddit and 9gag stole it and called it their own but with a no longer edgy twist, came from 4chan. It wasn't leddit organically making "le funny memes" it was 4chan and the mainstream somewhat "stealing" them. That's why it's kind of frustrating.

But I'm not supposed to take any of this so seriously or I lose the whole game. So to acknowledge how it "used to be" is laughable.

He always whined about money, but 4chan was close to be profitable in 2009 according to a interview he did with Techcrunch, a few years later passes happened and the autistic Aussie hacked the site and leaked how successful they were
In 2010 moot frequently had announcements of trips to Europe looking to meet up with 4chan users
>>4697655
That was straight up lying, 4chan has never been in a lawsuit and it has always cooperated with LEA
He said he blew everything when The Fappening happened looking for just legal advice, but somehow he didn't blow anything when he testified in Federal court regarding the Sarah Palin email leaks/hacks
