This is a thread about vaccines, but ~80% of posts are made
by bots. Can you guess which are botposts?
Most boards on 4chan(even surprisingly tame ones) are majority
bots, top-class neural networks that create a specific narrative for
each board:e.g. /s/ bots promote anti-aesthethic narrative
where ugly is beautiful and beautiful is bad.
The idea of user-generated genuine content
has largely failed and now internet is dominated by artificial
content that is very sterile and predictable, regurgitated data
from their training sets.
Twitter bots, scripted Youtube videos, deep fake porn,
and now even most fringe content is fake.
>>1 a major hint:
Bots cannot yet have a 1-to-1 conversation that will
look genuine so their replies are situational replies
without a coherent narrative(i.e. disconnected from own replies)
and reusing same IP more than 2-3 times would expose that
they cannot handle context continuity(like GPT-3 self-derailing into
nonsense).
In /pol/ narrative "The Jews" control everything and have unlimited
funds. So why don't they buy 4chan or Stormfront?
More interesting:
What prevents leftists/redditors/twitter/etc crowdfunding like 3-4 Million$
and buying 4chan(instead of e.g. crowdfunding a shitty video game).
4chan is not very profitable according to Hiroyuki(which i suspect
is because of adblockers being by everyone here).
Some possibilities:
1.4chan is some sort of data collection system by TLA
2.4chan is foreign owned with Hiroyuki acting as owner.
3.4chan is psyops to target 4channers with bots as mentioned above.
4.4chan serves as some public opinion polling system that
government uses to get critical information on extremists.
5. 4chan is kept alive by certain interest groups which use it as a platform to launch propaganda. Right-extremist groups to be more specific.

Its clear that in $CURRENT_YEAR anything like /pol/
would be deplatformed, banned and ISP blocked.
But due some miracle it remains and even grows in traffic.
There is no visible "alt-tech" structure keeping it alive:
its very hard to believe extremists can finance the amount of
traffic it eats daily(unlike Stormfront which is mostly text).
What kind of mystery man would bankroll 4chan at his expense?

Beats me but they used it to put their puppet as POTUS
