>>564865154Chan is definitely at a crossroads right now. It will have to choose between four paths to head down, all of which will kill it in one way or another. One path is to let it continue the way it is right now which will eventually lead to total chaos and the birth of the Wild West, where AI will be most of the posts and arguing, AI against AI, and a few real posters here and there who can or cannot tell a difference. It will become so bad that not even shit posters want to post anymore, what's the point in trolling a bot? None. The second path leads to much stricter rules and filters, higher moderation, and possibly even paid janitors(fat chance LOL). This will turn 4chan into Reddit 2.0 and will die because people come here purely because the rules are more loose here and one can say "problematic" things when sharing their opinion. The third path is to shut it down, admit that shit can't be contained, and just shut down 4chan for good. The fourth path feels more likely due to recent events. It is the enforcement of ID or some way to prove you are a real poster, which will scare a lot of people away because now their opinions are no longer anonymous. It will start with the requirement of an email, just like on /biz/ then slowly move towards verifying that you are a real person. PoI will 100% die on the fourth path if you consider that a win or not.
