>>2452822 this picture is basically what is going on. hiro wants to monetize blue boards better.
considering the constant financial troubles 4chan is running the decision is understandable. we
started are a passion project, so the change in attitude is also understandable. this isn't new.
finnish ylilauta went through a same kind of change. the cost of survival was mass normalization,
though.
what else have we done, though, if not become tamer and tamer? we are old anon.

except settings have been reset, themes don't work and no links to nsfw boards in the
header/footer
I managed to make the themes work but it was strange, it didn't want to change nor could I open
the settings menu for a while

Everyone.
And beleive me, this will have a big impact on the numbers of visitors coming to the site.
Following this, 4chan will be even more riddled with normies than it already is, leading to the
consequencial death of anonymity and the original idea behind this site.
4chan is dying mates, and we can't do anything about it.

Now consider this,
4Channel is now a site that can be advertised on places like facebook, and other normalfag sites.

I'm in agreement. Those of us who would be affected by the change have already gone through our
period of mourning years ago. It might even be somewhat of a positive change, but at the same
time I doubt anything good could happen at this point.
The hacker on steroids known as anonymous has long since retired and moved to warmer climes. The
little there is to lose is hardly worth saving. The only immediate threat here is to /pol/.

Isn't the whole point not so that Hiroshimoot can advertise 4Chan on normie sites, but that
pearl-clutching advertisers will be more open to advertising on the SFW verison of the site?

/f/ is pretty much the only board on 4chan that's still living in the past. Every other board has
either gotten overly politically correct, became less clever and more blunt with political
incorrectness, or a mixture of the two via constant ironic shitposting. You can pretty much blame
/v/ and /pol/ for what's happened to this site over the years

I can't even imagine what would go through my mind if I someone wearing a potato knishes shirt or
saw a Takeo sticker on someone's car. That's too much for me to handle.
I have seen people advertise their affinity with /b/ in public but steer clear of them. It seems
ultra lame to actually talk about these things with some random person. Maybe someone could prove
me wrong and it would turn out to be like talking about any other fandom but there's sort of an
unspoken code that part of the package is concealing power levels. And /f/'s power level,
unrestrained, is something truly terrible to behold.

I don't think this place is anywhere near as secretive as you might think and probably hasn't
been since Fox News reported on it in 2007. Let's be real here, odds are almost everyone and
their grandmother is browsing or has browsed 4chan, especially since this is one of only a few
social networking sites left that doesn't regulate everything you say or do. People just don't
want to admit they use this site because this place is too raunchy for words and they don't want
to face the stigma from their family and SJWs

if you think 'normal fags' will flock to 4channel you are deluded in thinking it hasn't been like
that since the dawn of time
the only people not here have real lives or don't like the culture, every <30 yo has visited. ask

I'm one of the few that does actually remember what it was like before the Fox report, so it may
be coloring my view a bit. The seekrit club mentality was/is stupid, but it was objectively
better then even with that cancerous attitude. I just still find it hard to believe that it's a
real topic of conversation in meatspace for anyone.
Online interaction and anonymity in particular are structured in such a way that lends itself to
people being open only there, and defensive elsewhere, by the very nature of it. It's like the
old maxim that if you want to find out a man's true nature, observe how he is when given a mask.
The anonymity here is that mask. It never translates well in individual encounters. Those that
aren't on the autism spectrum understand that you can't behave like you do here in public.
I can recall only a few occasions where I've talked about 4chan and I've usually regretted
bringing it up. I used to browse late nights at my friend's place back in 2008 and he naturally
asked me what I was doing, so I introduced him to imageboards and he "didn't get it". Last I
heard he's become religious and left the scene. Or the guy in upstate NY I used to AIM chat with.
I haven't heard from him in years but I heard he's now a recognized musician. That was long
before 4chan was a household name.
I've found that the only times I typically have had a meaningful conversation about these things
is with people that program/run/mod websites, because their perspective is totally different and
for the most part free of drama. Watching things from the shadows but never saying anything,
sometimes they have the most interesting and insightful things to say when they do finally choose
to.
>this is one of only a few social networking sites left that doesn't regulate everything you say
or do
I've never once considered 4chan a 'social networking site'.

Well, 4channel doesn't link to /f/, so now no normalfags will ever find this place. That being
said >>3369620 is correct /v/ and /pol/ are the two biggest newfag magnets, and no amount of
advertising could rival their word of mouth anyway. That's why I suspect hiro isn't looking to
advertise 4channel it self but rather to advertise on 4channel, because it already has a large
enough userbase of morons who don't know what adblocking means.

But if the NSFW boards don't show up in the header and footer maybe we'll mostly be spared the
same fate as the sfw boards. Though I am sure /co/ will become more of a tumblr shithole than it
already is.

The existence of /pol/ has had repercussions beyond their imagining. I mean, aside from being

It's going to be a psyop fish in a barrel scenario soon like /fur/ was in the ancient realm.
That's what /pol/ truly fears. And they are probably right to some extent, especially if the libs
go full Orwell with some kind of social credit system.
