I feel like 4chan at the most will have only until the end of the decade left to exist. Due to things like the TPP and net neutrality, the reality of the core elements of what makes 4chan itself(sharing of content and posting anonomisly)will disappear.
When that happens I hope that Hiro or whoever is in charge will begrudgingly pull the plug. I know I wouldn't post here if I had to make an account and was restricted in what I could post because of copyright laws and or hate speech laws.
From there I see it splintering into alt Chan's on different niche ineternets like tor, freenet, i2p. But those wont really be 4chan, just a pale imitation or clone.
True is we are nearing the end of our never ending ride. But one day in the future maybe you will be in a supermarket line with your grandkids and the cashier will start conversation by calling you a big guy. Maybe at the end of the line behind you you will hear a faint old voice retort "for you".
