That's the main thing it has going for it, but the nature of the site isn't expressed in the purest form anymore.
4chan is now like that little suburban area that get's a highway paved through it, and then what once was a more or less consistant secluded villiage, is now industrialized and somewhat assimilated.

You are right to some extent, but I KNOW that it was once so much better, I'm not even really an oldfag and I watched this place change quite a bit, there used to be more culture, there were more interesting posts, there were more gems, people made longer and more thought out posts, boards like /pol/ had actual discussion, lots of slop too, but real stuff in the mix. I've said it before, but these days, on this website, memes preceed thought, thought isn't generative, it's not the source of memes, it's not creative anymore. It's like most of this site is now centered around eggregores. You no longer are dealing with people, but that, eggregores. One odd thing about this place these days, is it's hard to even think, you have peace, when you use it. At least for me, when 4chan got hacked and went down, it's death felt like being released from a vice, there was peace, and it almost felt like the wild west again when I was looking for alts, and others too. Seeing the way people scattered, the places people went, and cultures and different characters, which almost became more human outside of here, was interesting. The places I found and what came of it, reminded me of what this place used to be. I don't think this place is inherently bad by any stretch, I don't think it's impossible for good to be here, but as I said before, it's now much more like a highway. The speed of the place doesn't help things. The sheer speed of posts and the amount of them almost prohibits real discussion, things go by so fast, it starts to make discussion an almost primal thing, something which appproximates something like might makes right.
