People recognized that 4chan was a unique place full of potential targets for advertisers, but Moot held off ads for as long as possible, and doubled over backwards to keep his otaku site up and running so people could come to talk about their Japanes animes. One time he even had to pile the servers 4chan was hosted on into a car so he take them to another state where he could continue hosting.
The guy designed a neat place where people could come to share pictures of neat things, and wanted it to stay that way. It was never a money-making venture, and never made money.
Up until the day he left, Moot had one hoodie and mostly lived off cheap street vendor food. I honestly hope he’s doing better for himself now after everything he went through for this place.
