how the fuck is 4chan even breaking even?
4chan runs on dreams.
>>54638176
Ads, passes, sweatshop baby tears
It doesn't
>>54638176
/b/ users who don't use Adblock.
google pays them to keep the captcha.
>>54638318
is this true or just a meme?
/b/abies that don't use adblock, janitors that get paid in hot pockets and autists,tor users and chinamen who use the 4chan pass
>>54638350
It's just a meme. Google's captcha is the only strong one left.

>not disabling adblock while browsing 4chan

>>54638668
Go away hiroshima
Does the pass really allow proxies,vpns etc.?
>>54638713
yes
>>54638350
The only people that bitch about captcha are newfags who never had to endure the dark age of spamming.
I have never felt at ease on this site because I always felt it would disappear, instead it just gets worse every day.
>>54638668
I just forget to turn it off TB. Might do it now
i disable adblock on 4chan
>>54638753

Is it true that 4chan is the most captcha used site?
>>54638753
>accelspammer
/a/ was pretty much unusable
>>54638176
Mods and Janitors work 'for free'
>>54638176
Google captchas and selling user information. Also deals with various entities. For example, any negative opinion of d44m on /v/ results in a site-wide 3 days ban, similarly to any negative opinion of world trigger on /a/. Moreover, a fair-use-compatible pic of a frame of a public broadcast featuring d44m which showed it had become a cod clone was instantly deleted anytime someone tried to post it, and the hash of the original was added to a blacklist.
>>54639245
4chan has the best ad system out of any website I've been on
>static images or gif's with low framerates
>small, takes up only a small amount of space on the page
>no sound or anything retarded like that
>>54639180
No, but the admin team really wants you to believe it is. They also absolutely don't want you to check out any other chan because they don't use google captchas, or even any captcha at all, don't use invasive schemes, yet have significantly higher usercount than 4chan at the time moot implemented that shit (8ch, kraut, lain) and still barely get any spam.

Google's captchas are actually easier for machines than for humans right now.
The "spam" was mostly people uploading full imagesets in seconds, and it was great
>>54639559
I'm thinking about writing an AI that can recognize traffic signs, to aid people in CAPTCHA's.
>>54639521
Name one stronger captcha. I'll tell you why it's weaker.
>>54639559
No it isn't. You're just a subhuman.
>>54639592
Good luck bro. See you in 100 years.
>>54639592
There's like a billion of those going around and they literally work better than humans on the task.
>>54639597
- show a picture, for example of a USB cable.
- user has to type in the corresponding phrase ("I'll show you later")
>>54638176
More importantly, how the fuck hasn't J-List given up on advertising here yet?
>>54639715
The bot will automatically use X from "type in phrase X."
>>54638753
The only people who bitch about captcha are people that want a good open source captcha that lets me quickly input it via keyboard and not google botnet owned click the pictures meme captcha.
>>54639801
How would it know the meme?
>>54639851
Enable legacy captchas, type the numbers slightly wrong
>>54638753
I remember the constant spam by kimmo for pedotalk, but this current captcha system is also shit
By selling user data.
I disable ads on 4chan. I once went to look at the archive of a thread and it had a giant fuckingad across the top that would get clicked when you try to scroll (mobile) .
Not surprisingly the ad was malware and tried to convince me I had viruses on my phone and needed to download their software.
Never again do just browse 4chan with ads on mobile
>>54639874
The botmaker will ask someone on reddit.
>>54639743
Cause they actually make money not only for selling dakimakuras to pedos, they also do XSS attacks with their ads to harvest user information here and on nyaa and sell that info to third parties.
>>54639592
I bet you could just feed the individual capctha images to google's own image search and have it describe it
>>54638753
Captcha don't stop spam. They stop idiots. You can buy services to do your captcha for you for cents and within seconds.
>>54640044
Yet in all those years I've wasted my time on 4chan since I started coming here in 2011, I can count the amount of advertising spam I've seen on one hand.
>>54638176
Honeypot. Think about how much evidence you can collect from >>>/r9k/
>>54640111
Funny, I've been there since 2006, but I couldn't count the amount of commercial spam there's been just this year on both my hands plus the toes of my feet.
It's owned by a Chinese named Hiroshima I think
Running servers in China is dirt cheap
>>54640182
I've been here since summer and I've noticed there are way more hand typed shill posts than automatic spam.
>>54640208
Yeah, there's some amount of automatic spam from time to time but it's relatively rare. It's also true that it was much more prevalent before captchas, but it mostly wasn't advertising spam and more like /b/-type spam. Manually-typed ad spam is fucking everywhere nowadays, though, something that just didn't happen before. I don't think 4chan's rise in popularity is the only reason for this.
>>54640032
Recaptcha uses images that couldn't be automatically identified by Google.
>>54640283
Not exactly. It uses images that could be automatically identified as controls, and images that couldn't be automatically identified, which are then used to improve google's dataset. That's why you often end up with "select all the salads" and all you see are pizzas. In this case, selecting whichever items have a higher density of green tends to yield best results.
>>54640283
>Recaptcha uses images that were automatically identified by Google.
ftfy
They also add images they couldn't recognize, but those have no effect on the captcha process.
The "ads" on 4chan are cool! I love the little gifs. The actual ads don't even get in the way they are always anime related and look quite nice in the site : )
>>54640462
>they are always anime related
If that's true, I'm so glad I use an ad blocker.
>>54638941
This. Ads on here are perfectly acceptable on this site so I disable adblock
>>54638228
it runs on memes
meme powered
>>54638713
sure, since you're identifying yourself with the pass
>>54638312
Why would you ad block 4chan? Least intrusive advertising I've seen
Ads here are literally just pictures and are never inline, so I disable adblock. It's better to have sites that do ads well serve as examples for others than to block everything in order to make a point about "Everything on the internet should be free!"
>>54641295
Why deal with ads when you can pay for a 4chan Pass?
>>54638176
With the power of love everything is possible.
>>54641295
Hiro let malware ads through once. I'm not taking the chance. Plus, I bought a pass.
it's a viral marketing platform.
I mean what even?
>>54638176
selling information?
>>54641368
i remember. everyone on /g/ called me a fag for not using adblocker and said i have a virus lol.
>>54641368
Buying a pass is the way to go it seems.
>>54641545
Good goy. Enjoy being banned and losing your pass because you didn't have the Right Opinion on FUCKING 4CHAN OF ALL FUCKING PLACES.
>>54639435
>no sound
> too newfag to remember when moot (literally what?) spammed lolsorandumb meme music on most boards
This is why I have adblock and flash disabled by default.
>>54641598
Kek, stop having such shit opinions then :^)
I've had a pass since moot introduced it, and the only bans I've gotten were for actually breaking the rules, like posting NSFW stuff on blue boards. The only people that get banned with a pass are people actually break the rules and deserve it. Give me one good reason why Hiro would want to ban someone that probably will buy a new pass every year?
>>54641682
Because with every ban there's a new purchase. But are you saying it's alright for hiroshima to ban people who offend card-holders then?
>>54642005
If someone buys a new pass after getting banned because of their opinion, they have to be retarded.
What I'm saying is that someone claiming they got banned because of their opinion alone, is probably lying just like the trash in our prisons saying they didn't do anything.
If anything, they should tolerate people with passes more than people without because they have invested more money into the site, and might be ready to invest more.
>>54639417
>similarly to any negative opinion of world trigger on /a/
You're so full of shit. I don't know anything about /v/ but no one has ever once been banned for disliking an anime on /a/.
>>54639552
I would probably buy a pass if this board didn't get shat all over every day two times a day.

>>54643037

*Racism, not shitposting.
I click on ads a couple times a week. Just for fun. Sometimes I even run a couple of vpns and get a couple hundred clicks on them I probably give 4chan a couple thousand dollars a year
>>54638753
This 4chins was raped daily by script kiddies
I think /b/ is the only board that should have been left without captcha though
Also going with google for captcha was retarded as fuck
Isn't it obvious though?
Media companies pay 4chang so that admins don't delete all their shilling threads.
>>54643395
What ads are you talking about?
>>54643450
Most likely by buying chan passes in bulk, so that shills can shill more efficiantly, since everyone here uses adblock anyways traditional advertisement is useless.

>>54641295
It's blocked by default and I don't care enough to disable it.
>>54641295
Because of the fuckload of morally objectionable actions by mods and admins, hiroshima's history, and the fact that it displays NSFW ads on SFW boards.
People actually use 4chan at work and think it matters if they're on SFW boards or not?
>>54640176
Bingo. Four chan is run on grants by the FBI and CIA
>>54644084
i have a secret, i can confirm literally 100% that a senior mod here is a fucking mcdonalds worker who lives with his mother
this is the tier of administration we have on this site
>>54643979
traffic isn't
especially the amount generated by this shithole
>>54638941
I do too.
I used to block ads until i heard j00t crying about it during a Q&A years back.
Tbh there are a lot of quirky ads that are amusing. Funny inhouse meme ads too.
J00t could have sold out and plastered the site with ads 10 years ago but there's still only 2 banners.
>>54639438
>They also absolutely don't want you to check out any other chan because they don't use google captchas, or even any captcha at all
They also aren't very popular so nobody gives a fuck enough to attack them.
Are you seriously denying the constant script kiddy bullshit that was going on here a few years ago? The popular boards were borderline unusable.
>>54639597
Make all the captchas in kanji. Japanese OCR is garbage.
>>54642314
Pretty much this
>>54646321
>Google creates Kanji captcha
>spam companies, Microsoft Research et al. on a tirade to create better Japanese OCR to break it
>world is better off for it
Funny enough I never actually look at the instructions in the Google image captcha anymore.
I just select what I assume they're looking for and I'm right 9/10 times.
>>54641295
because moot sucks balls and put up a captcha and he also constantly did things to piss everyone off, including making this site literally unusable at times.
Then he puts in captchas and then these new peice of shit oens come that dont even work.
Legacy captcha option resets all the time, so the only reliable way is to fuck with your agent settings, breaking google images and other sites in the process.
Then moot lets mods do whatever the fuck they want. Honeslty some of these mods are the worst, Im probably going to get banned for posting this.
Which is the reason there have been several times that massive amounts of users have quite comming here all together.
There are several more reasons that I cant remember, but after this last time they banned me for some bullshit reason (said something was illegal) I swore they wouldnt make a cent off of me.
>>54641295
Because fuck the world I don't do what you tell me.

Its costs are being paid by the gubment so /b/ and /pol/ don't splinter off and to keep tabs on them. Of course 4chan is a tame pile of shit now but you can never get rid of gubment jobs, so they're here forever just like us huehuehue :(

The spamming really wasn't ever that bad except "save as 4chan.hta" orange square. Anon talk and surgeon were annoying but far from making the site unusable. Accelspammer was the hero /a/ needed, but didn't deserve.
