It doesn't.
I don't recall the exact figures, but hiroshimoot is looking at MAYBE $1000 worth of expenses per month to host 4chan, a community with over a million unique IP visits per day.

That's literally nothing.

The guy behind foolz software, Woxxy, has mentioned in the far past that were 4chan to 404 one day, he would be interested in making an imageboard as well since he was interested in imageboard coding as well and not just coding for a 4chan archive.

Shame woxxy is a normalfag these days and cheated on his anime waifu.

not everyone wants to move to a new chan. example, 8ch only active boards are random, /v/, /pol/ and /commiepol/. other sites are even more autistic and awful.

>>59879599
Because the weeaboos didn't move to those other chans, the normalfags did.

The weeaboos are still on 4chan.

>>59879638

>4chan doesn’t use amazon web services.
...but they show Amazon pricing anyway.
4chan uses CloudFlare, which is much cheaper
than Amazon, about $1 per MB per month.

>>59878937
It used to be a fifth of that before the fappening.

>>59879481
Hiro was lying to you about costs. See the image from 8ch.

>>59880211
I have no doubt that gookmoot was trying to inflate the numbers, but the cost of 4chan is well over $1000/mo.
Just the sheer transit for this website probably costs multiple times that, not to mention the hosting of the site.

If I had to make a guess, I'd say 4chan probably costs 100k-300k/yr to host.

How easy would it be to get an unaffiliated third party to take donations from users in order to keep the website going?
Like, the admin would still exist, but would only be concerned with b&s and illegal content, but not with paying the bill.
A 4chan blind trust would be the best way to break free from admins that can't handle the pressure/are just straight up Jews.

>>59880441
People have offered to buy the site. If he really didn't want to own this money eater of a site there are a few people who would be willing to pay to take it off of his hands.

>>59880456
What? A cancerous jew blatant newfag who thinks activist culture is what makes 4chan good?
I'm fucking glad gookmoot knew better than to sell to that supreme nigger. But then again, he had absolutely no intention of selling it. He's rolling in dough right now anyway, what with all the ads he's added to this place.

>>59878937
>active content
Did you forget all of the posts and IPs that are stored?

>>59880512
Storing that's not the hard part, since it rarely needs to be accessed. A simple SAN will suffice for that.

For the site to operate at a decent speed, all active content needs to be in RAM, and honestly 2TB of ram isn't that insane, especially spread out over multiple servers.

You'll note not even 6 months before moot left, he was quite open that 4chan was more financially secure than it had been in most of its life. Yet within months of the gook buy it, suddenly it's running out of cash.

Also, do not forget that this same gook took control of 2chan, and did this exact same scam for money.

>that one guy in the middle who is neither connected nor in "never breeds"
>tfw

>>59881617
he meant "get moarpusi"

>>59881617
Basic overview:
>80% of women want the top 20% of men.
>They'll settle for less though, so the top 40% of men are breeding, while most of the bottom end of men don't get it.
>The lower tier of women want the upper tier of men, but the "better" men don't want them, so they don't breed.

So basically at the lower ends, women want what they can't get and don't want what they can, while most men will breed with most any woman.

Looking closer:

>Top male breeds with basically all the women
>Lower ranking males breed with less and lower ranking women
>Top ranking women stay mostly faithful to their top ranking males
>Lower ranking women get it from all the breeding males

To sum it up for each situation:
>Top ranking male breeds with all the women he wants, his main ho stays loyal to him
>Medium ranking male breeds with a few women, but they're not really faithful
>Low ranking male doesn't breed since no woman wants him

>Top ranking female gets to keep the man she wants
>Mid ranking female will have a mid ranking male stay mostly loyal to her, but she will still breed with the top ranking males
>Low ranking female won't breed since the higher ranking males don't want her, and she doesn't want the low ranking males

Not that I totally agree with this, but there is some merit behind the concept.

>>59882105
I was analyzing the image posted.

A study performed by OKCupid somewhat supports the graphic, where women rated 80% of men as being "below average" in attractiveness.

>>59883967

>let's remove half of what made 4chan fun in the first place
I barely even see any gifs anymore, all moving images I see are usually webms. GIFs are a minority of the content.

>>59881975
you're wrong, there are more women than men and most men will get married or in a relationship ,10% of men might not get into a relationship or breed because:mental illness, gay, other perversions, medical reasons

>>59879024

It literally is. Hosting more content means that people will see that content, therefore consuming bandwidth that they would've not consumed if that content didn't exist. Also watching a 3MB WebM does consume more bandwidth than watching a 2MB one, why are you even arguing that it doesn't retard?

>>59879895
So 4chan costs 3 billion dollars a month to host? A bit of a stray from $1000.

>>59879422
Projecting, projecting to the max

>>59883967
Apparently it's the adult boards that consume the most bandwidth. I'd be glad if they got rid of all the normieporn here except for like /s/.

>>59884918

>>59881617
This image is objectively incorrect and has been modified to imply that women lose out in the reproductive game just like men. This is false. If you look at our DNA, you can see that about 5 times as many women have reproduced compared to men. This fits it you look at modern hunter gatherer tribes which still exist, where around 80% of the females are monopolized by the top 20% of males. Marriage was a way to mitigate this, giving the other males a reproductive chance in exchange for their labor in building and maintaining civilization. However, this was always just a compromise, and as soon as technology and the state advanced to allow for it, women abandoned the family. This is happening in all countries which develops that such a point, because women just don't like settling for a low grade male if they feel they still have a chance to get someone better.

Only if you include the extremely old. If you control for old people, men outnumber women.

Furthermore, only about 15-20% of the 20-30 age group are marrying, contrasted with 70-80% 100 years ago.

amazon goes for $0.08~ per GB so $80 for 1TB so $120 for 1.5TB of bandwidth

However that is just the bandwidth used to UPLOAD the images to the 4chan server, it's nothing compare to the distribution bandwidth

according to alexa, each month there are around 92 million sessions (visits to the website) and each session have 8.8 pageviews

thats 809.000.000 page views

let's say on average a page view uses 2MB, that's 1,600,000,000 MB or 1600TB of bandwidth

for that amount of bandwith, I would say the CDN price for GB would be around $0.02-0.03

so that's $32,000 to $48,000 monthly only for bandwidth costs only

>>59886726

Na, moot is much worse.
Moot was tolerable in the first few years because snacks was there to tell him to shut the fuck up.

But then moot teamed up with a shitty weeaboo that killed this site several times and then finally "killed it for good" by tricking moot in to kicking out snacks and forcing Anonymous discussion on a community that never wanted it. (besides the raid kiddies and shitposters from FYAD)
Thanks menchi and moot.
The entire community died in 7 months and was replaced with shitposting out the ass and that is why 2006 was the worst year to have ever yeared.

>>59890442
It might make sense to you, but in science you can't just accept things because they "make sense".
You need some evidence to back that up.

So, until someone produces evidence to the contrary, it is assumed that the attitudes of OK cupid women reflect those of women as a whole, and your "average" woman will find 80% of men to be below average attractiveness.

>>59886726
moot actually kept an April Fools' board that became popular.

>>59890556
That's where a lot of extremist groups get members... no gf/wife to care about and no real hope for your future.

>unless the lower tier members of society are drugged up
That's the twist on today's situation. Almost every low-tier male can afford TV/Internet/Video Games, along with weed and alcohol, which allows them to self medicate.
Why become an angry political activist if you can just smoke a blunt and play some Overwatch?

It's probably not enough though, since the idea of no worthwhile mating prospects will eventually be enough to drive many men into not caring about their lives, and they will dedicate themselves to some cause.
