Christopher "Moot" Poole talks on TED

Saw this interview on Moot (the founder of 4chan). He describes the outcomes of of 4chan. He raises important topics of online anonymity as well as the good and bad. For a 4chan lurker like me, I found it to be pretty informative.

I lol'ed at the comment seen at the bottom of the youtube page. - "/b/ is the beating heart of the website", too bad the heart full of cancer.

      He said himself that "Raids are the cancer killing /b/" at a panel at a con strangely though he neglects the numerous Slowpoke combos, rate me, post pics rate them, you fall in love you lose, boxxy, asl hookup, camwhores, ask a ---- anything threads spambots, breaking of ACTUALLY GOOD combos namefags tripfags and of course general breaking of the whole anon bit.

    I usually surf on 4chan for wallpapers, and sometimes on /k/. But it gets annoying to read hate spam or spam or hate in general T.T poor 4chan

    I can't believe I haven't seen this video before. Though I have seen quotes and screen-shots of it before.
    I've been on 4chan for 3 years and I just love it because there's no consequeces for what you say; you can just be brutally honest about how you feel. On other forums, I feel like I'm walking on eggshells, trying not to offend anyone.
    I'm proud to say that I've never set foot in /b/. That place is pure cancer. I'm in /a/ and /cm/ mostly.
