I heard someone saying this place was a big influence on internet culture, but that era ended a decade ago. Before that,>a meme would appear on 4chan>someone would export it elsewhere >It would go mainstream in the span of 1-3 yearsThen 4chan nearly stopped producing its own memes, started importing them from elsewhere, and its overall impact on internet culture greatly diminished.Which may be true, but I got the impression that 4chan inadvertently upgraded from >influencing internet culture to >influencing general culture.Memes are faster and ultimately shallower. At best, they're a vehicle for deeper ideas they can't really express in full; without those ideas, a meme is ephemeral and gets quickly forgotten.But those ideas are heavier, the process of spreading them is way slower, and it's much harder to get people to fully embrace them. So I looked at a bunch of non-mainstream ideas and fringe concepts that were popular on some 4chan boards around decade ago, and checked where they are now in terms of general appeal and popularity.I'm posting a bunch of examples in the replies, but the question is:>Is 4chan actually impacting culture in the long run, rather than simply making memes?Or,>Is 4chan merely a predictor of whatever the mainstream will embrace in the span of a decade?The second option is still plausibile becauseA) despite changing through the years, 4chan is and was always largely anti-mainstream. No matter the subject, what's popular on the dedicated board is almost always an outlier/minority position in that field/hobby/interest.and,B) the general culture is cyclical, people tend to distance themselves from stale positions/ideas/beliefs and even embrace what was previously unpopular.So 4chan ends up being "avant-garde" without actually impacting the culture; the world gradually and spontaneously adopts 4chan stances and ideas without even acknowledging or realizing it.
>>186210194chan does very little organic creation of memes for fun these days. What happened was basically that in around 2012-2015, big players realized that 4chan was a perfect place to plant push and organize their shit and ran by a small group of anonymous nobodies who, due to 4chans moderation culture, had absolute power, were faceless, and could easily be corrupted and infiltrated. So what has happened since then is that the original 4chan culture has effectively been wiped out on all fast-moving boards who today largely operate as a battleground between different institutional players trying to push out their stuff. These player have less use for truly original content. They only need content as a vehicle for their narratives.Therefore, the core 4chan values of deep hostility to outsiders who didnt conform, to identity, to platforms politics and taking stuff too seriously, and fanatic celebration of complete anonymity and original content for the entertainment value have been completely kill.One obvious example is the introduction of flags and id's on the boards that the institutional players want to control. The reason for this is that without those measures any individual anon faget can balance any big well financed player by applying insane amount of autism and samefagging. This would kill their model for forcing their cancer. They need to rig the game so the people who has the budget to pay 5-6 people or more can keep the threads they want in the catalog and control the consensus in the thread.So these things taken together means that 4chan is today just another "channel", just another battlefield for the same cancer we see everywhere. Summerfags will never know what we once had.

>>223704797This site is mostly leftists now. Reddit is mostly bots. I swear 4chan is the most left wing, anti-white site out there. Even this "wignat" bait thread is 99% mutants calling for white genocide.
Who was in the wrong here?

My only achievements in life are being white and being born before 1996. My only personality traits are liking lolicon and hating zoomers, Jews, and Indians, and my only hobbies are gooning and complaining on 4chan. My diet consists exclusively of processed meats and carbonated drinks. I have never had sex with, kissed, hugged, or held hands with a member of the opposite sex, and I haven't left my mother's basement in almost two years. I haven't weighed myself in a long time but it was in the high 200s range last time I did, it's most likely significantly higher than that by now though. I frequently daydream about what it would be like to be a woman and have recently started experimenting with crossdressing and painting my nails alongside some friends on Discord.

When the world ends, people think the strongest will lead.They’re wrong.When systems fail and knowledge becomes survival, it is the people who understand those systems who become necessary. The engineers. The technicians. IT.Because in the end, power belongs to those who know how to keep the world running.
