I love spending time on /b/ because of the homosexual and scat porn.

I too thought that the great and mighty 'moot' should have a better answer to what obviously he should get asked about all the time.
If you consider memes, a protest of Scientology, and saving one cat the best things that have ever come from 4chan (likely) then you're going to need to come up with a better answer for why it should exist.
And there are better answers than the ones he gave.
I've heard the craigslist guy give great interviews answers about why he lets craigslist be what it is, and why they have a 'casual encounters' section, etc.
Moot could learn a thing or two. Hell... anyone on 4chan could have given better answers than he did.
Seems obvious he's still a child. The whole time he was being questioned I kept thinking: "Do they have to keep asking that kid such grown-up questions?" I genuinely felt sorry for him.
Let's face it; its the brainy, skilled Anon crowd that happened to use his site that created everything good that has happened to moot. Without them he'd be playing his Playstation right now, still in mom's living room.
Now with 22M views daily he really should outsource his monetization... Fuck, he could sell all kinds of porn from 4chan... Somebody help that toddler!

this pretty much.
Why the hell is this guy on TED anyway? I don't know shit about 4chan history but isnt this guy just the creator of the site? Everyones saying hes some amazing guy because he created 4chan...
All he did was create an anonymous message board for fuck sake. Unless im missing something why are people parading this guy around like hes a genius or something.
I would say Moot is one of the last people standing up for freedom of expression on the internet. Every damn site tries to police their users and force them into a political correct format - just look at the development, from anything goes MySpace, to please use your real name Facebook to WE DESTROY YOU IF YOU FAKE YOUR NAME g+ - for the next one you probably have to hand in your birth certificate.
Things like Anonymous would have never come into existence without having 4chan as the virtual pillar of truly free speech and a community of people who embrace this kind of everything-goes culture. The only thing I find more disgusting than CP are people who run around with this "I AM OFFENDED" attitude.

Yes it's only an anonymous message board, but the best products are the simplest ones.
Behind this simplicity there are very complex pattern recognition algorithms used on that site?
