Think about it - copyright and brand owners must hate 4chan. But 4chan hates marketers and insincere people who don't "get" it. So why not post a story about how some writer "engaged" with his audience there leading to a massive sales spike and all-of-a-sudden it'll be crushed under the weight of semi-earnest marketing types attempting to convince "anonymous" to buy their wares.
Genius, I say! Before you know it there will be "4chan social marketing" consultants popping up all over the place, touting their snake oil at advertising events!

- astrange 16y agoI don't understand what you think the goal is. They posted an article to encourage people, who 4chan hates, to visit 4chan? It's not like they won't be found out. …well, that's unrealistic. It's more likely that they'd completely fail to understand it - not in a "there's a deep meaning and they'll miss it" way, in a "there's a shallow meaning and a ton of in-jokes and they'll miss them" way - and give up. That or they won't be allowed to visit from work because the site is too offensive.

- JofArnold 16y agoHaha! Yes, I think that's what I had in my subconscious. Presumably on other sites I'd award you "+100 internetz" for that? :)
