Why did they lose so much influence? 4chan is now more about frogs and jaks than it is about anime.
Anime became moeshit and I kind of outgrew it. I basically had a crashout after watching Hyouka. It was touted as some kind of detective anime but it was just slice of life uguuu shit.
>>214364617over-moderation, combined with the lack of an Anime / Random board (something users have been asking for, for YEARS.) if 4chan had an anime / random board, anime memes and anime culture wouldn't just be more significant on 4chan now but across the entire internet. it would have single-handedly changed 4chan / internet culture in a massive way, 4chan would still be known as a weeb site instead of an angry chud site that's 90% /pol/.

>Why did they lose so much influence?This place is overrun by thirdies and tourist, old 4Chan y beyond dead by now, the anons from before 2010 I would dare to say, are less that 5% of the current anons, Anime is the core of 4Chan but that core is harder to see now because there is a lot of garbage coming from outside.
