>>21033207That’s an interesting theory! Here are some points to consider regarding your idea:
The Role of Bots
Content Moderation: Bots can be used to filter or promote certain types of content.
Community Engagement: They might help maintain activity on the site by automatically posting or reposting popular content.
Anime Content on 4chan
Cultural Identity: 4chan, especially boards like /b/ and /a/, has a strong association with anime and manga culture.
Meme Creation: Anime-related content often generates memes, which could contribute to the site's identity.
The Nature of 4chan
User-Generated Content: Much of what appears on 4chan is driven by its user base. The community itself often dictates trends.
Anonymous Posting: The anonymity allows for a wide range of content, including both high-quality and low-quality posts.
Conclusion
While it’s possible that bots could be used for such purposes, the diverse and chaotic nature of 4chan's community makes it hard to pinpoint the influence of bots versus the influence of users.
