    I don’t have much love for 4chan (I do like the curated green texts here, 5 minutes on the actual site was enough to never go back) but it makes me sad that a website is measured by profitability

      TBH the impression I got from the greentexts that are posted on Lemmy and reddit is that they’re very inorganic, I believe many of them are written just to be reposted on reddit.

      Well of course lots of sites are kept up through sheer enthusiasm, but in this case I don’t think either the 4chan userbase or the owner actually like the site a whole lot. (Though maybe I’m just projecting my own frustration after having spent too much time on that site.)
