      I don't think millennials are responsible for 4chan. That shit was a cesspool while most of them were in elementary school.

        You're forgetting a lot of the original imageboards (eg. Blueboard) and calling them "hate and revenge porn subreddits" is a gross oversimplification...... eg. r/jailbait is NOT a simple revenge porn subreddit! It was a straight up you know what subreddit! It's a shame to see Redditors defend Michael Brutsch (u/violentacrez A.K.A VA A.K.A "Pimp of Reddit") as a "troll" even till this day! Apart from this, there were also a lot of disturbing subreddits during the mid '10s like r/beatingtrannies, r/beatingcripples, r/strugglefuck, r/askarapist to name the few.

          What? No.

          4 chan started in highschool or middle school if you're a bit younger. Millennials used 4chan while genx invented and ran it.

            I miss the era of SA/4chan/YTMND being the meme factories of the internet.

            It was chaotic, yes, but goddamn were there fewer problems

              Now there's 8chan, but what about future ones? Does it grow linearly (12chan, 16chan) or geometrically (32chan, 64chan)?

                  I’m so glad I didn’t participate in any of these trends when I was that age. So many regrets avoided.

                    That didn't sound right, so I looked it up: Moot is a millennial. 4Chan's got nothing to do with GenX.

                      Yeah probably some people at bell labs bullied some people in Stanford over ARPANET in the 1970s

                        Generational categories aren’t real. They’re arbitrary lines made up for listicals and inflammatory content. There is every type of person in every generation, and most trends are more due to the natural progression of age than generation drift.

                        Comparing generations is only useful when evaluating the context in which they live(d).

                          Definitely not, check your timeframes. I’m a millennial and was in elementary in the 90s. Didn’t really discover 4chan until college years.

                              The terms are used to convey a group that would buy shit. They are not anthropology terms. They are marketing terminology used to sell you shit. I'm sure today's students like to use them in their anthropology papers though

                                        We die all the fucked up things in the early internet. Things that are now forgotten. Theres not much that kids these can do on the internet that we didn't. The main difference now is the nazi pipeline. We didn't have that.

                                          We saw Nazis as bad and shunned them.

                                          Gen Z and Gen Alpha created Incels.
