Also I wanna start a youtube channel where I talk about philosophy and junk. I wrote a few scripts but what if I'm a total idiot and everyone will realize it the moment I give my take on things?
anon posting , mostly. Sure you'll see a lot of bait and trolls, especially these days. But you'll also see people being truly authentic, which I find refreshing, since no one feels the need to self-censor in order to appeal to the crowd. Someone disagreeing with the consensus of the rest of the users in a thread has as much visibility as anyone else, unlike other social media platforms where you only see opinions that the majority agree with (which leads to fragmented echo chambers).
The main downside of this is that 4chan sucks at filtering low quality content. If you're scrolling through reddit for example and a post from /r/jokes pops up on your feed, it probably has a very high upvote to downvote ratio. Therefore you're statistically speaking likely to find it funny as well. Whereas on 4chan you're far more likely to see low-quality content or bait threads that generate a lot of replies.
so imo 4chan is better for discussion and having your views challenged, whereas other social media is better for "content".
Some shitty offbrand reddit website.
