Whats going on with 4chan lately?
When I connect to the main page, i get this.

When I connect on my android, I get a series of redirects to some "youre infected! download this to protect yourself!"

Moot would have never let this stuff happen.

But in all reality, can someone actually explain whats going on?

hiro is using an ad network that's been known to spread malware. Obviously it's for money. I don't know if he's aware of the malware or not. He can't be that dumb and it has been discussed hundreds of times over at /qa/.
Considering his past, he's doing it knowingly and just doesn't give a fuck.

Pretty much this.

There's no money in running 4chan unless you sign up to ultra shady ad networks
>>
>>56488796
can confirm

I reported it via the feedback page a few times as well

Define "known to spread malware".

I've definitely noticed that archived pages have some obnoxious javascript bullshit and pop-in ads, but I don't particularly want to blacklist the whole site because it's not like poor J-List is hurting anyone.

learn to torrent safely and stop downloading everything you see OP. run malwarebytes and have a nice day

>>56488796
This.

Get an adblocker like uBlock and something like PeerBlock, then get a nice cup of warm milk and some tums and you'll be alright.

> wanting money
I'd run it for free

Enjoy your 50k debt if you aren't selling info to someone.

>Define "known to spread malware".
It has been reported numerous times throughout the last year that a certain advertiser, which hiro included after his 'takeover', is publishing less-than-stellar ads

Are you happy now? You just had to gang up on Moot for doing what little he could to keep this place clean and force him out. Are you happy with the result? Are you?

This is his last fuck you.

>blurring your desktop icons

why don't you just learn how to crop, moron.

Every time I get on 4chan on my phone my phone flips out and screams SAFETY ALERT, YOUR PHONE UNDER ATTACK. And vibrates non stop.

Thanks hiro

Who doesn't use a ad blocker these days anyway?

>>56489054
Moot was a fucking imbecile.

>>56488928
So would I. I'd keep the J-list ads to reduce the yearly costs, but I'd get rid of the current captcha because google. Tbh I'd shoulder heavy losses just to keep that whole 'bastion of free speech' stuff going.

I know Moot didn't like donations but if 4chan had a patreon equivalent it would break even overnight. I'm sure if Hiro did that the community would prefer it to shady ad networks and google captcha.
