Update: 2025-12-17
Description
4chan started as a chaotic image board and quietly became one of the most influential forces on the internet.

💥 From meme culture and viral trends to online radicalization, harassment campaigns, and political influence, 4chan’s fingerprints are everywhere even when people don’t realize it.
