    Just remember that the vast majority of those users are in their mid-late 30s or even early 40s. Zoomers and even younger millennials never gave a shit about 4chan.

      Maybe they didn’t care to the same degree but unfortunately incel culture was fostered in several areas, and a lot of them are younger than mid 30s.

        Oh incels are a massive problem. But younger millenials and genz and the like got radicalized by reddit and twitter and the like, not 4chan. And then they just went straight to 8chan if they left their festering grounds at all.

      I think my only contact with 4chan was to get JAV content and also my first contact with torrenting.
