Its about the environment and content being brand safe vs honest and genuine. Not too many brands are going to line up to shill at an obscure reference to a comic, a dead terrorist meme, and sone big ol anime titties the next post down. We are not punished for scaring an advertiser or thereathing revenue as there is none by design.

4chan is just an extreme example as they are pretty much the same website as a decade ago because they didn’t have the chance for greed call the shots due to their reputation. No one went over there to fuck it up beacue they couldn’t farm the users without stepping in shit.

There is a spiciness in the recipe that reddit cut for an easy to sell bland slop. Lemmy has the old day spice and soul. I guess 4chan would be pepper spray on a microwaved salad in this metaphor.

I want to see what people have to say, even if I think they should be compressed into a small cube by the time I’m done reading. Were not stepping on eggshells like on reddit.
