Despite all its problems, this is one thing I like about 4chan. Minimal banner ads, large images are auto-collapsed (so they don't overwhelm the text), and menus/settings that do exist are almost entirely auto-hidden. Also no mid-post image embedding, emotes, or 90s-era forum signatures. Every post is just text, with an optional image attachment.
EDIT: Are these downvotes about the content on 4chan, which indeed is generally terrible, or my thoughts on its UI design?
- p_l 7y ago4chan derives its design from Japanese forums, and the Japanese web for had a very minimalistic design to a huge part of it, even up to today, due to C-HTML and use from flip phones.
