I think it's especially funny how 4chan went from roughly a million posts per day pre-hack to sub-650,000 posts per hack, and then you realize that a very sizable chunk of sitewide posts are:
>AIjeet generals scattered across the whole damn site, totaling up several thousands of posts per day every day
>/vg/, which is basically just 100+ Discord generals (in fact, roughly 1/6 of sitewide traffic is just fucking /vg/)
>Several outright porn boards, most notably /b/ (functionally) and /trash/ which are both always in the top 10 in board traffic
>Insane retards who do deranged shit like buy multiple 4chan passes and spam bots + multiple devices to flood threads (there's several screencaps of this sort of thing happening on /vg/ alone, courtesy of IP wipes)
>A non-insignificant amount of posts are just ecker bots validating themselves so that shitflinging retards can instantly hop IPs whenever they get banned
>A metric fuckton of other forms of artificial traffic, both figuratively and literally
Literally the only reason people still try to shill here and potentially even buy ads is because they take the numbers at face value and don't realize the entire site is just a house of cards built on what is nearly just fake traffic
