4chan circa 2004-2013 is very much not 4chan in 2023.
The site does not influence as much as it is influenced at this stage, you see memes cooked up on telegram and twitter which then filter back to 4chan, this backflow would've been unthinkable before — 4chan was faster, it was first. It is no longer that.
- brnaftr361 3y agoI don't browse 4chan anymore, not regularly, but they're still streamlined in some categories. They're still very gung-ho and high seas from what I've seen. I don't think 4chan has the cultural edge it once did, but I still think the community tends to be on the cutting edge just due to the anonymity, ephemerality, and the fact the site has always sat hard on being edgy. But maybe I'm wrong, I'm hardly a cultural analyst. I guess I'd point to Automatic1111 (4channer) as my most recent high-profile exposure to something 4chan related. And Automatic1111's repo was the favored client, and one of the most rapidly developed programs I've ever seen.
