sad I guess? lotta good stuff came out of there at first but I felt like the userbase just flipped over on itself at least once if not two or three times. a lot of stuff just became pissing contests over who was more jaded and cynical and who enjoyed whatever less. like people spending hours on end on forums about their hobby yet they hate everything about their hobby, whether it's video games, comics, anime, whatever, the main hobbyist boards just all became whiny baby contrarian factories. That being said I saw 8ch as a way of holding the floodgates back. like if a user could become aware of the major faults in 8ch they'd end up going to an alt chan at least in part, and if they couldn't they'd be a happy little frog over at 8ch. but now there's the other problem that any site that gets any traction with politically incorrect shit that isn't a complete shill honeypot operation is just going to get de-platformed by the larger tech apparatus.
