    Did you read archive link with the full text? It talks about how the culture of 4chan started and then spread out across other social media platforms. Other sites weren’t always as toxic as they are today, yet 4chan began rotting much earlier on. The problem is that the rot, which originated on 4chan, has become mainstream. That’s why we see this shit everywhere now.
