>that "anonymity" we all took for granted for over a decade of shitposting never existed
What's the the worst dirt he's gonna have on you?

What crime has he committed?
don't call him "pharmbro", he's a disgusting reprehensible person no matter what side of the fence you lean on

If hiroshima stopped dicking around and adopted webp already then we wouldn't have this budget problem. Of course hosting 4MB JPGs and GIFs across all boards is expensive.

Yeah sure.
he seems like the kind of guy who would just be in it for the lulz and wants to keep it going to allow 4chan to wreak havoc on the internet. I think he's a douchebag, but he's probably the most qualified and least likely to fuck 4chan up
Or he could go the complete other way and require anyone who wants to use 4chan to buy a pass that has a ridiculously high montly subscription.
Either way I think the fallout will be pretty hilarious. I kind of look forward to this place dying out. Almost like the end of an era, something I'll hold with me forever and will look back in with a tear in my eye and a reminiscent smile. It wont really be something I can talk to my kids/granchildren about ever, and none of my friends would understand, but I'll know. This place once meant something, but every story needs an end.

b-but he's le red pilled xD
>still talking about Shkreli
Yesterday it was Notch, today it was some other guy. Big names are claiming they'll save 4chan for attention.
Shkreli was probably the one that was most "genuine" in his offer but Hiro told him the site isn't for sale.

Idiotic.
If anything he would shut the site down or set up a paywall "for the lulz"
Remember when he bought the only copy of an unreleased Wu Tang album just so he could announce that he'd never let anyone else listen to it?
