    "Some also credit 4chan as a breeding ground for QAnon conspiracies, white supremacy, and propaganda. Surface level, the forum isn’t only used for those reasons — it’s also got gaming, cooking, and entertainment boards. But that influence is a dangerous uncurrent running throughout the site."

    Never have I seen more hate-filled casserole recipes in all my days.

    Doesn't seem like a really great marketing idea, but what do I know?

    I mean… 4channers are probably the best target audience for their toys. They’re all addicted to games, anime, and hentai.

    They started funneling money after the owner of 2chan bought it and that makes a fair bit of business sense as the new owner would probably bring in a lot of 2ch users. Lots of exposure. Like what @hellointerloper is saying, its another massive board with anime nerds. It's not like goodsmile was posting the super evil stuff.
