Meanwhile, Google continues to work hard to stay ahead, finding new and growing areas to expand into. Most recently the company has begun discussions to acquire the website 4chan which would bring with it a large user base.
I dont see how it can work at all. Googles entire profits come from advertising. Advertisers wont touch 4chan with a 10 foot pole. 4chan has constant racial hatred, extreme porn with no way to block access from kids, suicide threads. How could this possibly work? If Google were to set up strict guidelines, that would only send 4chan users to other chans, which might be a good thing and make 4chan underground again.

It's a new market for those who want to advertise "alternative" products.
This is good, then we finally get to be in our promised land of our own w4c. Without the filthy stench of moot and his 4chan.
Finally we could set our own course of things and ban crappy shitposters.
This is what all of us who love w4c have been dreaming of.

Wow. I wonder what startup Moot will do should he choose to sell to Google.

Does this mean that we get professional and hired moderators?
Hahahahahaha
Oh man, I'm going to actually have to go out and do something with my life if Moot pawns 4chan off to those cocksuckers, because holy fuck will the imageboards and textboards become a wasteland reddit/canv.as/summerkid bullshit, as if it wasn't enough like that already, man.
