What are the origins of 4chan?
A couple of days ago i started researching Internet History, specifically the history of „looksmaxxing“, inceldom and the blackpill (i don‘t identify as an Incel nor Looksmaxxer). I noticed that the terminology, slang and writing style on the og PSL (PuaHate,Sluthate,Lookism) sites all traced back to 4chan. I dug a bit deeper and came to the conclusion that with most things on the Internet, all roads lead to 4chan. So for the past 3 days now, i‘ve been digging through all kinds of archives, researching the history of 4chan but i get the impression that most present-day 4chan users are zoomers like me and don‘t really have what i‘m looking for. So are there any og users from the 2000s-2010s here who can tell me what it was really like? Also, can somebody recommend me a YouTube video or something similar on 4chan history?
