Why should he? The original poster chose to keep his identity hidden because he either didn't care about what he wrote or felt pressured by 4chan's "tripfag" stigma.
>>741577051I think this is hilarious. But because it means all those people in "the industry" are going to be snooping around here for ideas and when I insult games and movies for being gay and retarded that means I'm more and more likely to be insulting the director themselves
Barotrauma got made because the main dev was a 4channer that liked PRESSURE threads.

>>741577051This is the real reason imageboards are dying. People can't just make a dumb post and the biggest thing that will come of it is maybe getting a screencap reposted of it.

i think it's funny when the dumb shit i've made gets reposted, every time you see one it has more ifunny-tier watermarks and has more crusty jpeg artifacts, but what's more entertaining is where this total dogshit pops back up.there's actually some chinese botfarm money laundering online storefront out there somewhere that's selling pillows with an image macro i made printed on them. totally no reason why someone would actually buy one but the option exists.
>>741583571you mean people are aware that their posts can be screencapped and farmed on twiiter, so they watermark them, and that images are being converted to jpgs and downscaled, so your original one has more value and power and so it's more difficult to train ai on them?
