    It’s also entirely useless for marketing or for selling anything, because it is infested with the kind of content that infests a place when there are no content restrictions, and will likely damage a brand more than it helps.

    I genuinely think that’s the only thing that kept 4chan around and pure for this long. It’s too chaotic for enshittification as no business want to touch it, and their not interested in growth.

    The astroturfing and botting is constant and prevalent but everyone is suspicious and hostile over everything that it’s an instant shit slinging argument where no one is convinced. Hell, I would guess that half the fighting is bots with opposing agendas.
