4chan died a long time ago.
When do you consider it died? 2015 when Poole sold it?
I wonder about this sometimes.
Poole knew he had a contentious base of users. I remember in 2013 or 2014, 4chan users posted photographic evidence his gf was cheating on him, and I think it broke him. I dont blame him for selling the site, but 18 months later... I wonder if Moot knew he was holding back the end of the world.
I wonder if Poole has done any interesting interviews on the intersection of 4chan and the modern fascist propaganda machine it bred.
I have this dream that one day I'll like, sit next to him on an airplane and have a chance to ask him.
