A lot of people forget how valuable free time can actually be. There are some huge personal projects I did during my time in college when I had tons of free time, and this between playing video games, hanging with friends, travelling. You have so much freedom to explore and learn new things, read books, learn a language or two, explore the world. 4chan, while now it is mainly composed of lurkers or people browsing intermittently throughout the day, is still like a hub for people like this, who have a lot of free time on their hands. There are also a ton of variants of 4chan, namely in Europe and Russia. With this outlook, I am not at all surprised of a small group of Russians pooling their efforts into meddling with a US election, their actions catching the eye of a trigger-happy Russian official and receiving funding or support from said official.
