In his recent reddit AMA, moot mentioned that Facebook logins would stop being mandatory for Canvas in the future. That would probably expand the userbase significantly, but I'm guessing anonymous users are less likely on average to pay for things.
On a side note, hopefully this won't interfere with the future of 4chan. It's a favorite of mine.
- bproper 15y agoSo the FB login is just to set the tone among the early users? Maybe they switch to a Disqus model, with a couple options for identity.
- dolvlo 15y agoThat's good news on all fronts, except I'd like to point out that anonymous users will not always be less likely to pay for things. The economic catastrophe hit disproportionately hard the age demographics of 4chan, and this in turn has manifested an entire generation of people unwilling (unable) to spend money on anything but necessities. As the economy recovers, these people will eventually get decent jobs (I am an example of this) and will have money to spend. In the last month, (now that I have blow money) I've bought multiple items from J-List mainly due to their continued support of 4chan over the years. Thanks for supporting one of the last truly great communities on the internet, J-List.
- shazow 15y agoI imagine anonymous users, who are such by choice, are less likely to pay for things purely because it breaks their anonymity.
