Back in whatever year it was, the 4chan mods and janitors — who are historically some of the dumbest people on this website, the sole reason it's not any fun, going so far back as the era of WT Snacks — decided to create a Q&A board. This board was made because janitor activity was deemed opaque and inconsistent. Rather than go to some IRC to yell into a void, users could post on this board and provide feedback rather than complain on the boards.

Predictably nothing productive came of this. The Q&A board received a small handful of answers from mods to bad actors, demanding /pol/ be deleted, and after that the board was totally ignored by the site staff. Around this same time janitors did what they always did: decide they personally dislike something and begin aggressively pruning it, then doling out disproportionate punishment. That thing? S.o.y.jaks. Why did they dislike these jaks so much? Based on janitor leaks, probably because they resembled that cartoon to an absurdly accurate degree.

So you have a failed Q&A board, where none of the promises made surrounding the board were kept, and something that obviously annoyed the janitors. These two were (predictably) combined by spiteful users. Never ones to miss an opportunity to do something stupid, the mods and janitors then deleted the Q&A board. If you have been on 4chan for a long time, you recognize DFA is how they handle most problems.

Fast forward a couple years and you have s.o.y.jak websites that host CP, leading to discord groups who blackmail teenagers to make more CP, actual literal murders over internet beefs, 4chan getting hacked, and more. The moderators and janitors have learned absolutely nothing and continue to enable all of the above, in addition to being awful at their "job" of keeping the website usable.

tl;dr - bad, useless people (many of whom have jobs in the US government, based on the dox) annoyed a virtual population of social misfits too hard and now everyone is paying for it.

I don't know what's more sad, some random guy baiting for 100+ replies about installing Windows 11 or your computer will surely do the explosding saar, or someone in Hyderabad being paid to do the exact same thing and being horrible at it.
