you want fucking proof that 4chan is going out?

take a look. bet you didn't notice all the advertisements are gone.

i dont think moot got a grant for just enough money to run this site without ads.

might as well head on down to canvas and beg for entrance.

in short, this is a good night /b/ thread.


What the fuck, we only got the ads back on in the first place like two years ago.

Oh great. It'll be like what happened to /int/ when /new/ closed. /v/ is going to be shit on a whole new level.

How would he keep one part of the site up, but not another? Wouldn't it all just die?

how would this save money I mean. That's what the issue is said to be, right?

Only the SFW boards have advertisements now.

Plummeting bandwidth usage due to /b/ dying = major bank saved.

Not if it just shifts to another board though. Its not like web hosts charge for every individual part of a site.

It wouldn't be worth the risk to the other boards.
Fucking /d/ barely survived ROW ROW, but I don't think they can make it through if /b/ closed.

No matter where they go, there will be a large loss of casual users that simply don't care if /b/ is gone or not.

Meaning they will go wherever and act like its /b/ right?

Rumor mill only at other NOCs of SP's --- The hard nose change of rules on Race and Hate may have come to late. Advertisers run from that form of content super fast, even faster then a little bit of porn. Just before ED moved "away" I ran a through activity search on ED vs 4Chan - About one dozen factors and one thing stood out. Both were about equal in Net ranking - varied month by month widely but in general they at times were neck and neck.

Now I have no idea what Sherrod paid by the month but just about everyone remembers when Moot published his costs and that was some time back when the costs were lower. Everyone knows he was deep in debt and just made it each time on pleas for help.

4Chan reminds me of what happened at the infamous .com bust years ago when ad revenue for all web sites dropped off the map. Currently that fall off vs economy is no where near as bad, but if advertisers run from you? Very bad because you never get them back.

You all did notice how Moot had venture capitol for his new venture and how it should be 100% advertiser friendly. No clue if it will succeed, nor could I ever imagine Flicker ending up as VALUABLE! I sure was wrong on that one.

Do you have any idea how much money Google makes from ad revenue on Youtube?

LOL and you may actually be correct re direct income derived from the Tube vs the HUGE cost it takes to keep it going. I know the co-founder on a personal basis re Bianca.com where he was sorta stealth - not really down the road. B4 Google came in to help they were at point of collapse real fast. Last I looked and you can too, pull up the 10K report for Google where they do break down operating costs of Tube. I bet its still on edge re money making or even less then.

What it now has is pissing off Bing cause of what Bing depends on lol with no possible revenue when tube is pulled up off of Bing nor can Bing figure a way to do the same thing NOW - 2Late to party
