According to who?
Remember how cheap the site is to run.
It's like the Pirate Bay guys saying they made no money. Those ads paid big and they raked.
- Karunamon 11y agoAccording to the guy who ran the site. If you think he's lying about that, please put forth some evidence.

- Karunamon 11y agoOkay, so considering that 4chan didn't accept donations, didn't have any form of user-generated revenue until the (very recent) 4chan pass thing, Poole has always maintained that the site was a money loser. Also, cheap to run? The bandwidth costs alone would be HUGE. Not sure why you think he has a motive to lie about this - and if he does, again, put forth some evidence rather than spurious accusations. Calling the guy a liar with no proof to the contrary is just so much cheap sniping.
- brador 11y agoYou conveniently missed ad revenue. 4chan has around 650m pageviews a month. At $0.25/1000 that's a few million a year. And I didn't say he was lying, I said I don't believe him.
- rdl 11y agoNo way $1 CPM for 4chan.
- nemothekid 11y ago4Chan's self serve ads are priced at a quarter of that, ~.25c CPM currently, and the inventory is never completely sold.
