>>10351202Back when stuff like 9000 PENISES was a thing, it was this dingy website where everybody who bothered to give it a skim quickly knew it was full of kids and college freshmen being edgy and posting anime torrents. Now it's genuinely a website full of bots, 30+ misanthropes who love nothing more in life than making others miserable, mentally unstable femboy cliques, political agents of influence trying to "how do you do fellow kids" us into voting for their party, etc. so I think it's pretty reasonable that people would want to go Old Yeller up in this bitch. Sure, there are some good people here still, like some anon that translated the entirety of Shin Mazinger 0 for free, but I think there just isn't a need for chans in the 2020s and at this point it'd be a mercy kill.
>is this an attack on the anonymous format to finally scrub out any freedom on the internet?If that were the case, every single one of these /r9k/ discord servers that I keep running into while trying to find a chill anime chatroom (that doesn't shit itself when somebody says they wanna fuck a Madoka character) would be gone. Despite what /pol/ and KF tell you, corporations don't want some sort of thought police dystopia: they want the internet to be extremely polarized. Look at the Facebook whistleblower fiasco: FB doesn't ban you for saying you hate fags or something, it just shows your posts to somebody that it knows is gay so that they get pissed off and engage with social media more to complain. The entirety of the internet works this way.
TLDR: Yes, we are bad and I think it'd be for the best to shut this place down already, as Hiroshimoot is terribly incompetent at what he does. But no, corporations don't want this place to get shut down and "scrub out your freedom" or whatever, because you make them money by fueling the never-ending opinion war.
