Long live 4chan.
Anonymity and a lack of taxes & bureaucrats is what makes the internet wonderful...and sometimes awful.
- unalone 18y agoYeah. I don't see 4chan and its ilk disappearing any time soon. You can't have wonderful things without awful things. Things that would make one hard make the other hard as well.
- fallentimes 18y agoI hope you're right. Agreed. And I think the wonderful in this case far outweighs the awful.
- unalone 18y agoThere was a comment from Reddit from a kid who grew up with 4chan. It fascinated me. And it showed me just how different my generation will be from any one before it. http://www.reddit.com/r/self/comments/7f8x3/hey_reddit_whats_the_creepiest_thing_youve_ever/c06imuu http://www.reddit.com/r/self/comments/7f8x3/hey_reddit_whats..., if you want to read.
- fallentimes 18y agoGreat link. I like the analogies he uses.
- GHFigs 18y agoSaw it coming from a mile away, before it came near. Nobody can write that much about 4chan without doing it.
- unalone 18y agoSomehow, it came across as sentimental to me. This was somebody reminiscing about a place that he saw the decline of. Then, I find the oddest things sappy.
- sutro 18y agoThanks for posting this link. You're right, it's a great read. You should re-post it as a top-level HN submission.
