I only started visiting 4chan after Hacker news gave recommendation few years ago. I would say that in the past few years, since the 'intelligence activity' went up, it really started teaching the smart people on the Internet to identify that as quickly as possible.
To put it in terms of another old meme, Redditors never learned how to identify GameOfTrolls threads (because Reddit Admins banned it successfully as soon as possible), therefore, this still remains as an attack vector on Reddit.
On the other hand, being able to identify "slide threads", and "glowies", is an important skill every smart person needs to learn.
it's not like back in the golden days you're remembering fondly, intelligence activity and slide threads didn't happen, it's just that they were limited to newspaper articles and media events. What if Richard Nixon was a good guy, or at least no worse than any other president, but he stepped on the wrong toes, and the deep state took care of him? |
