4chan is Running Out of Money and Martin Shkreli Wants To Buy It
The infamous message board 4chan is struggling to stay afloat and will have to make changes to reduce costs, the site’s owner wrote in a post on Sunday. "4chan can't afford infrastructure costs, network fee, servers cost, CDN and etc, now," writes Hiroyuki Nisimura, who bought the site from its founder last year.Full article: http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/3/13155072/4chan-struggling-with-hosting-costsNisimura says ads haven’t been effective enough to support the site, nor have subscriptions offering additional features. "We had tried to keep 4chan as is. But I failed," Nisimura writes. "I am sincerely sorry."
PARTS OF 4CHAN MAY HAVE TO CLOSE
There are three options for 4chan to survive going forward, as far as Nisimura sees it: sell more subscriptions, include "much more" — and potentially even malicious — ads, or cut traffic to the site in half. That might be done by closing message boards, slowing down the site, or reducing the size of images that can be posted.
There should be a 4Chan ICO, and tokens so that the community can support it. would love some 4chan tokens on my asset wallets.
Everyone loves to hate on 4chan, but it would be a real tragedy for society if it collapsed, since it is one of the few places where you can post things and ask questions for advice anonymously.
Everyday poor people anonymously post pictures of their infected junk asking "What the hell is this?" to find out what the hell is that, with little blow back. Do you really want those guys asking on here or for them to suffer in silence until their junk falls off?
Glad to see that place is on the rocks. Nothing but vile trolls of the internet.
Oh noez. 4chan is finally dying due to distasteful garbage on it..?
trololol.
Where will the lulz go now?
