I think this is extremely interesting; not because of the supposed "rigging" but because of the uproar and sleuthing of the community as a result of perceived misdoings. I mean, just think that this random guy Zach Anner has all these people behind him because of one video. And then something fishy starts happening and they all flock to it.
What are they more interested in? Catching "Oprah" in the act of allowing someone to effectively cheat or do they genuinely want this guy to win?

- trafficlight 16y agoIt's not just 4chan, either. Reddit is up in arms over this whole thing, but I'm not really sure why.
- ZachPruckowski 16y agoReddit tends to act as a filter through which the useful[1] outputs of 4chan reach the rest of the Internet. [1] - where "useful" here means "non-pornographic" and "not illegal" more than "provides real value"
