What is the financial status of 4chan.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/oct/04/4chan-website-financial-trouble-martin-shkreli

I saw this but dunno if I can trust libtard media on this one. But now I see they're trying to incentivize buying a 4chan Pass through special boards? Huh?

The media reporting on this is the weirdest part, to be honest. 4chan's been through financial difficulties loads of times and they've never reported on it before. They know nothing we don't - only what's been posted by Hiro. And Hiro doesn't even say 4chan is facing an existential threat, just that he might need to make cutbacks. The clickbait aspect of neo media is blowing this out of proportion.

Wow, that was actually a surprisingly insightful article. I'm used to media reporting on 4chan being hilariously misinformed but the author seems to actually understand 4chan and what's going on.

This board will probably lead to a net profit though

Yeah, not bad. That's how I'd characterize it too.

Living in a female-only pen for several weeks, and he got to impregnate all of them. Truly living the dream.

It would be boards like the porn boards which are cut – Boards which use a lot of bandwidth for relatively few users and little content.

Because this is an actual media site, not gawker-tier clickbait.

Because back then old media and print still meant something. Now everything is online and every other article mentions something said on Twitter. 4chan has naturally grown in notoriety, too.

/pol/ fucking had to get itself involved in shit thats way beyond its control

But it also goes to show how corrupt politics are. A fucking meme board can get a guy to the presidential election for lulz. Imagine what we could do with shit that actually matters, like cucking up the oligarchic 1%.

You must be new. That or you've forgotten the era when 4chan was in danger of dying due to financial reasons every other month.
