4chan got much more popular again in the last years because other platforms banned their worst users. If people would just have ignored tasteless internet comments we would probably see much less polarization. Suggesting as much will summon some wrath itself though.
- phatfish 5y agoTasteless trolling is far easier to produce than an insightful comment. That is why any platform that allows unmoderated "free speech" (with a large enough user base) will eventually degenerate into a cesspool. Even those that have the self control not to engage will eventually get tried of filtering content and leave. Then your are just left with the 4chan crowd.
