        genuinely this. I used to think the dark web was so evil but then I found that it’s literally just 70% people trying to scam idiots for money with edgy murder shops, 20% broken websites, and 10% dope ass art projects.

        The real harm is YouTube shorts. Not even TikTok, it’s relatively tame with some attention seekers. YouTube shorts makes rapists come off as the good people in society and seeing some kid IRL praise Andrew Tate is 1000x more terrifying than any decapitated head photo or jumpscare could be.

      I believe that the deep web used to refer to websites not referenced on search engines. Which was the case for 4 chan.

        I think this is still the definition

        The deep web,[1] invisible web,[2] or hidden web[3] are parts of the World Wide Web whose contents are not indexed by standard web search-engine programs.

        But I don’t remember a time that 4chan didn’t appear on search results, it’s just that the content disappears so quickly that the result you do get (and you get some results) aren’t worth much, so they’re demphasized. But I remember a long while back searching on Google with “site:4chan.org” and getting results.

    “Have a 4chan?” Isn’t 4chan loginless?

      Not if you have 4chan gold!

      Surely they mean that they fear they will fall in love with someone only to find out that they’re the infamous hacker known as 4chan

        Sort of*

        No*?

        I’m assuming this has something to do with you being Dutch. But otherwise that was a nice joke, 5/7

          No. It was a combination of it being 6 a.m., this being a shitpost community, and autocorrect.

          Also it’s very ignorant to assume someone makes a typo just because of their nationality.

      to be fair to this person finding out someone you love paid for 4chan pass would be absolutely devastating

      It remains loginless but you have to verify your email address or wait 900 seconds before every post.
