OPERATION 4CHAN

>>1543625
4chan has always been losing money though. Does hiro not get that? Is he trying to run this place like a "proper website" or what?

>>1543635
He did well with 2chan I heard

>>1543625
If 4chan when under you would have clones popping up everywhere. 4chan.ca, 4chan.io. Don't worry about this cum dumpster of a site.

>>1543635
Hiro is an idiot who doesn't know anything about 4chan, he asked /trash/ to "tone down the furry stuff".

>>1543683
2chan is only text though so I imagine the costs are a lot less

>implying 4chan wasn't always broke

>>1543744
Are you implying there's anything wrong with that?

4 chan passes last too long and captchas are too easy. Also ask for donations with options for ongoing donations.

I've already figured this out.

1. I buy 4chan. Would probably cost around $200K.
2. Close all the nsfw boards. No exceptions.
3. Aggressively word-filter all racism, homophobia, hate speech, sexism, intolerance and other non-politically correct speech.
3. Based on these changes, I can credibly claim that the site now has a value consistent with its traffic stats. Very conservatively, I could see arguing for a $10 million valuation.
4. Donate 4chan to a charitable trust, of which I am managing director.
5. IRS standards for proving fair value are low, so $10 million valuation stands for purposes of future tax deductions.
6. I've now sheltered $10 million of future income.
7. Never pay taxes again.

>>1543821
Hiro wont sell, let alone for 200k

>>1543821
>4chan
>worth anything more than 200$

>>1543782
yes, its indicative of someone who doesn't understand the culture of his own website, /trash/ is literally the furry porn board.

>>1543827
This.

It's like a back-alley trap. Nobody wants that.

>>1543821
>buy 4chan
>200k
I find that unlikely.

>>1543821

4chan without the stuff you would get rid of, would be like football without tackling.

>>1543825
>Hiro wont sell, let alone for 200k
Then fuck him. I'll get it from the trustee in the bankruptcy sale. I've got time, he doesn't.

>>1543827
>>1543831
>Nobody wants that.
Doesn't matter. I don't have to prove that I have a willing buyer to establish value for a charitable donation. You think everyone who claims a deduction for giving old shit to Goodwill proves that there was someone on Craig's List who made an offer in that exact amount? Fuck no. All I have to show is what other sites with similar content and similar traffic are worth. And without the NSFW boards, I can use high-value sites as my valuation benchmarks.

>>1543849
If it was worth more, moot would have sold it to a legitimate enterprise. There's a reason it went from one retard to another retard.

>>1543868
Why do I give a fuck, moron? I get my tax deduction and never pay the IRS a dime again in my lifetime OR upon my death. Fuck 4chan.

>>1543625
JUST
ASK
FOR
DONATIONS

moot didnd want to do this shit after 2007, which was stupid
just ask
DONATIONS
DO IT

>>1543830
Well, Moot was even worse.
He used to go on long rants about how /fit/ had to be only for serious discussions about sport and fitness (does anyone have the screenshot of his metaphore of "buying a washing machine at the restaurant" or something like that?), and absolutely hated every thread that was about "board culture" themes and wanted them to disappear (hence the change from "health and fitness" to just "fitness").

He probably had similar feelings about other boards I didn't visit, but I wouldn't know.

>>1543821
>thinking people would stay here if you did all that

You're not so smart after all are you Mr smart guy

>>1543821
>Aggressively word-filter all racism, homophobia, hate speech, sexism, intolerance and other non-politically correct speech


enjoy no users

>>1543625
Does Hiro know about kneepads? Someone has to tell him (or put all 4chans money into Cryptos)

Set up a Patreon, I'm sure lots of anons would be happy to donate regularly to keep 4chan running.

>>1543625
>LET'S SAVE THIS SHITHOLE
Why? Everyone here most likely already has a back up /biz/ community that they frequent.

Get rich quick shit posters and scammers will go to blackhatworld.
Crypto fags have several other forums dedicated to it.
Ebay/Amazon FBA/Drop shipping fags have thousands of forums dedicated to it.
Day-traders/robin-cucks will go over to reddit/wallstreetbets.
That one guy that makes the same Forex thread all the time has several places to go as well.
The list goes on.

Just let it die.

>>1543753
It sounds like we found our answer

>>1544018
He hated "board culture" on /v/ and tried really hard to ban it.

>>1543683
Yes, so well he got canned from it after it came out he was selling user data.

>>1544021
>thinking that I care whether people stay or go after I've gotten my massive tax deduction

You're not so smart after all are you Mr dumbfuck

>>1544028
>enjoy no users
It continues to amaze me how stupid this board really is. You're all fucking incapable of seeing the forest from the trees. It's like talking physics to babies.

We'd all better buy 4Chan passes so there will be enough revenue to run the site.

Yeah, but there's no place where you have all these within one community, where you can anonymously post in such an informal setting.

Chan culture is impossible to replicate unless it's another *chan imageboard.

Set up a fucking Patreon, it's literally free money. It's so stupid that he didn't do this yet. He could even have stupid rewards like custom trips or flags or something for a certain dollar amount and you autists would eat that shit up

He's literally losing money every minute he doesn't do this

>>1546453
It has nothing to do with money.

>Well a site has bills to pay and they gotta pay them somehow. The elites do want to shut down /pol/ and would happily pressure Hiroyuki into doing so by cutting off ad revenue. My bet is that Hiroyuki may be making this up as a context to do whatever the fuck he wants. It is known that he has plenty of money from data mining the fuck out of Japan via 2ch users (and presumably here too but IDK about that) so him going broke off of 4chins seems unlikely.

>4chan isn't having money troubles, Hiroyuki is just trying to push monetizing that people wouldn't accept otherwise by saying that the site will die without it. 4chan is his personal piggy bank at this point.

>>1544274

Your idea is stupid you're making tax credits instead of money. Could you be even more of a cuck? Not that it would even work how you described; because it wouldn't. The cherry on top is you would be destroying a famous cultural hub.

Your idea is awful, you're awful, and you don't have any idea how your idea would work let alone how to execute it.

Kill yourself my man

>>1543625

Some things can't be saved.

>>1546733
>Your idea is stupid you're making tax credits instead of money.
Tax credits.
That lowers my taxes in future years.
Saving me money.
>money
>money
>money

No wonder /biz/ sucks lately. Too many children.

>>1543821

Is this bait or are u this fucking retarded? There are other sites for politcal correctness, the 4chan user base doesn't stand for that, and they woud just run away from this website, you dumbfuck

Remove image upload except new threads
Done, we did our part fuck off

Does /biz/ really need it? Use your words anon

>>1544780
>Chan culture is impossible to replicate unless it's another *chan imageboard.
There are already several other chans out there you know.
Literally nothing will be lost.
Nothing.
Not one thing.
4chan users that want the experience you talk about will prob just go over to 8 chan.
>The list goes on

Now you have a new home.

>>1546746
just stop asshole, without free speech 4chan would die

>>1546828
Wow. Just facepalm my life.

Read the thread, kid. Then feel bad about all the decisions that led you to the life you have, including your parents' poor decision not to abort.

>>1546878
>without free speech 4chan would die
And I care, why? Are you really this stupid that you can;t understand a tax strategy that I described for you in detail? Your brain may literally be defective. Seriously. Get a MRI or something. Seriously.

>>1546882
i understand that perfectly you dumfuck degen, but this thread is about saving 4cahn, not your childish plans to reduce taxes

>>1546878
>4chan
>Free Speech
There are lots of things we can't talk about on 4chan.
Moot and JapMoot have both made several attempts at censorship.
Some of which still stand.
It's only a matter of time before its fully censored.
Probably why it HAS been slowly dying.

>>1546884
>this thread is about
Kek, This thread is about children who don't even understand how simple tax strategies work. As has been proven by post after post after post. It'd be sad if it wasn't funny.

>>1543821
>>1544274

Don't be fucking stupid, it won't be worth shit ONCE you start cleaning the site up. How do you get your sizable tax deduction then?

>>1547085
Um, it's not worth shit NOW.

Deleting the NSFW boards lets me use other SFW sites as valuation comparables. A SFW site with 4chans traffic would be worth millions.

The problem is that without the NSFW boards, the traffic with disappear. So how to get the both of both worlds? You need something that woud let you value the site on the day your cleaned it up, but before the traffic disappears.

I wonder if there's a way to do that????

Oh yeah, the way I said 2 days ago.

>>1546867
I know about those other chans, and there's a reason why most people who know about them stay here instead of going there (or visit both).
The reason is that 4chan is so mainstream now, that you end up having discussions with all kinds of people (since basically everyone knows about it).
On those other chans it's mostly neckbeards, and if 4chan closed today, it would take many years for 8ch to get on the level 4chan is currently at.

>>1546861
Removing images on /biz/ and other boards that don't really need them is only going to remove bandwidth by a small fraction of the total.
Just think about all those WebM threads on /gif/, /wsg/ and /b/, and those image dumps on popular boards that get a ton of views.
The few jpgs here are nothing compared to those.

One way to monetize this turd board is to charge to post. Make posting available to paid members only and accept cryptos only to keep anonymity.

4chan isn't running out of money. Hiro has pulled this same scam in Japan

>In Japan he would make a fuss and say "2channel is in danger of closing!" then make bank. The gaijin at 4chan don't know the old moneymaking pattern, so they'll probably donate a lot.

>>1548469
If that's true, that's terrible. Did he sell 2chan?

It's all smoke and mirrors

If this site gets any more ads or captchas im leaving

Stopped reading there.

You're taking away the one USP.
Ironically, 4chan was better with less moderation, when it was a just a mad clusterfuck.

>I've seen things you wouldn't believe.

>>1547115
Diesel (the Italian fashion brand) said recently it was going to put ads on Pornhub, but I don't know if it ever happened?

I don't see the problem, really.
Advertising on a certain medium does not necessarily imply an association of values with them.

you guys are fucking stupid.

It's just a money grab by Hiro. The only bankruptcy this place has in in the morality department.
