Your statement makes the assumption that paying bills is the goal.

Not dying from starvation is the goal.

  To be fair, I doubt moot would have trouble finding money if he looked for it.

    He raised money in the past. The company failed. He was living with his parents for a while, trying to figure out what to do. http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/4chans-overlord-christopher-poole-reveals-why-he-walked-away-20150313 http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/4chans-overlord...

      Still, there has to be some some value in having "Creator and administrator of 4Chan" on one's resume.

        Most HR people would see that, be disgusted and throw the resume in the trash. 4chan does not have a good reputation amongst internet laymen. Maybe some of the more savvy HR people would be more impressed by the implied technical aspects of accomplishing such a thing, though.

        That's probably true. But chances are, the better jobs with those savvy HR people might not even have noticed his resume otherwise.

        He only needs one. As someone who says the hell away from 4chan, I still say he did impressive work. Probably not going to be hired by Walt Disney, but there's a lot of other places out there.

"Your statement makes the assumption that paying bills is the goal." Sure seems like it is, since -- you know -- he just sold 4chan. Thanks for your cute little contrarian comment, though. It was very stimulating.

  moot stated that his reasons for leaving 4chan this year have to do with the personal stress of managing such a volatile community, especially with the vitriol of the gamergaters holing up on the boards. For the previous 12 years he wasn't making very much money and at one point he took on tens of thousands of dollars of debt to keep the site operational. Whether or not he's making money with the sale now is beyond the point; he clearly wasn't running 4chan as a monetary venture.
