The Rise and Fall of 4chan
Attention is turning to the turbulent history of 4chan, the anonymous imageboard that shaped much of internet culture. Discussion centres on how the site rose from a niche forum to an influential and often controversial force online, fuelling memes, activism and harassment campaigns, and why its grip on web culture has since declined. Commenters are debating its legacy and what its fall says about the modern internet.
Why now: Renewed interest in 4chan's history and cultural decline, likely sparked by a widely watched retrospective on the site.
