I disagree. Anonymous was an substantial movement.
4chan has long existed before the concept of facebook and to compare 4chan to the new trends of the likes such as facebook or reddit when 4chan is it's own, you can't.
Reddit and Facebook have all been designed to cater to the masses; 4chan not so.
To rule out that 4chan has never been influential is incorrect.
- underlipton 3y ago4chan was founded about 5 months before Facebook and about 2 years before reddit. 2ch and Something Awful are quite a bit older, but it's debatable how much of the cultural DNA of each transferred over.
- _3u10 3y ago4chan is definitely old internet, it reminds me of IRC, completely unmonetizable.
