Is there any good reason 4chan does not offer markdown for advanced post formatting?
>>
1) Intentional restriction. 4chan doesn't need any text formatting. It wouldn't add to the content, which is meant to be fairly simple and disposable by design. Hence post length limits, auto saging, and limited number of threads per board

2) It would only be useful for shit posting. Even spoilers are cancerously abused.

3) Markdown is gross.

Markdown is awful. Html formatting is much better.

even BBCode is better than Markdown, and generally safer to handle than HTML

The mods actually have bbcode but the only thing they use it for is grabbing attention for their shitposts.
