You forgot all those “what does 4chan think of HN?” posts that mocked the living shit out of the ridiculous blogs posted here. This is a drop in the ocean. Thankfully, 4chan doesn’t have the toxic concept of upvotes/downvotes so the art-imitates-life was on full display.
And just to be clear, one of the facets that 4chan mocked was in fact some common, mundane event or situation that the author then uses in a melodramatic way for a blogshit smug title.
- dyauspitr 2y agoThere maybe some truth to this but the world as viewed through the eyes of socially deprived shutin culture probably should be not be taken at face value. It’s going to be cynical for cynicism’s sake.
- sandspar 2y ago4chan is for the unwell and the unwilling. The unwell can be ignored. But the views of the unwilling are extremely valuable and can be found nowhere else but 4chan. 4chan is the primary voice for conscientious objectors.
- dyauspitr 2y agoThat’s putting it on a pedestal which 4chan users always do. Just a lot of humble bragging. I can’t think of a single significant leak that has come from there over the last decade and a half, possibly before 2009. I would say less conscientious objectors and more contrarians. Less valuable views and more insidious, viral propaganda.
