to me it is as if the internet as an invention culminated with 4chan. it is indeed a big moment to see the most humble genius - and probably the one big who never made big money out of his visions - of this internet bubble handover to someone much more like what we could expect of an owner of a crazy board.
4chan is for me a fantastic website, laboratory and show on what mankind can bring to us. It led me to be depressive far too many times, led me to mistrusts humans and sometimes try to trust again, led me to think that any other media was boring, any other activity was second to it.
I don't buy the stuff people adoring steve jobs or mark zuckerberg buy. those tech marketers who selling themselves as icons, stars and some idealistic values of what america is. Rather than that I buy an idea of the internet that is encompassed in the character of Chris Poole, an humble guy who created something far much bigger than him and got shit happening to him as his baby demon was out of control. This guy is like the inventor of tetris. a forgotten genius that will never earn anything out of his invention but will still make more smiles on faces than any google or facebook.
