>>/2667/ > I'm not sure if 4channel will do much at first, advertisers will mostly still stay away with just that. it will stay for a while like that. However... > It is Virtual Youtuber where it comes together and what concerns me more. Hiro plans to market her. Easily she will become viral if she's done with even a quarter of competence. Anime girl youtubers.....for what purpose exactly? It may have a phase of boosting that trend but for what? Why does that option offer onto the table? Oh weebs... well, not even 4chan likes anime that much despite its influence but I am sure it could perfectly take up a third of the site. Without the red boards, all the relevancy is replaced by otaku content. > Other YTers, Reactors and all the mid level commentary/drama channels that jump onto Doctor Phil videos and the like will be interacting with her. Once she starts to gain subs she will become a corporate link in which outside pressure could be applied. It could be SWJ's and mainstream media or YT preemptive, but in this environment it'd be bound to happen. The censorship effort at first would be low level and messy, probably mostly ceremonial at first, but as long as the left has their current mentality I doubt they will be able to get away with indirectly funding /pol/. you are describing a guide that while not top secret nor an outlandish conspiracy, trying to delete /pol/ with any strategy out there isn´t new at all. And they haven´t. However, that will depend on the kids who follow them, let alone if one of the biggest reactors acquires an incorrect discourse (like Jontron) and they start having adventures in the comments box in the political topic. However, like we are talking about Japanese girls that barely (in theory) remind you of the actual world....they stay disconnected with the actual purpose behind all of this. Will it happen in practice? Let´s see. There have been lots of trends (like Vaporwave) that ended in less than 2 years. However, like this is a Japanese related image board, we are talking about a more memorable/permanent effect. > Mid term I'd say /mlp/'s fate is uncertain save some possible crappy moderation (no NSFW links at the low end to No links to sites that have NSFW content at the high end, and unofficially ban derpbooru as an example). they can invent stupid rule like the no roleplaying one and have a subtle scruffening following it. If they ban Derpi, then the fun is officially over. > I don't see a high chance of Hiro's marketing push being able to truly be successful without the red boards being deleted or reined in heavily in some way. It maybe even the price to pay to get the MSM to leave them alone if things get particularly heated. Ublock and all the adblockers will prevent the success, not to mention that money is a fearful object. As soon as there is more drama than the "calmed" ambient, a few of them will rethink about their decisions. > There would be a new breed of newfags that would be 12 year old Idubbbz/H3H3 edgelord fans (some might say that'd be a return to form, as the young edgelord's arguably was how things used to work before reddit and /pol/ right wing activity). If Hiro fully sells out to the most powerful degree, then there may even be a possiblity of snapchat/viner style teens or other demos. But that process would still likely take years. yeah, that´s probably a long term path that it´s unclear as hell. Not to mention that some boards are really volatile and give to the mods more than a headache every now and then.
