>the leak was intended to “foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space” because “their community is a disgusting toxic cesspool”.

the irony in that it was leaked to 4chan

[zalequin]

The irony is that this post itself is ironically toxic. Kekw.

[h_anna_h]

Not really, I would go as far as to argue that it is less toxic than reddit, twitter, and even HN.

[wokwokwok]

Mmm... well, if you're received what you consider to be toxic interactions on twitter, reddit and even here, but not on 4chan, have you considered that the common factor is perhaps not that all of these platforms are toxic...

...but that your views are considered problematic by quite a lot of people?

Perhaps that could be some cause for self reflection before you universally declare the entire platform here hostile and toxic.

Parts of it, yes. But the famous parts are horrible; I don't remember the last time HN ran an international cyberbullying campaign.

This is patently ridiculous. The biggest boards on 4chan, particularly /pol/ have widespread support for the genocide of Jews, black people, Muslims and women. Well maybe not all women, a more common view is instead that they should be enslaved to men. This kind of correction should give an idea of what kind of ideas are popular there.

[alphabetting]

maybe on streamers with less than 50 viewers. every twitch stream i've seen the chat is easily 100x more toxic than any HN thread. ridiculous comparison

[albwe123]

lol they got leaked lmfao

[throwawayswede]

I have a theory that the more people use words like “toxic” or “cesspool” the more likely they are the ones causing and creating it.

[d3nj4l]

It's almost certainly tongue in cheek.

[incahoots]

They’re using it “ironically” which at this point is coming off as genuine

It would be good to have a streaming service where simps could be called out as such.

Real question - why does it matter to you? If that's how people want to spend their time and money, and it makes them feel good, even if they look foolish, what does it matter to you?

I'm really bad at woodworking, but I do it a lot, and I've spent a crap load of money on it. Does that matter at all to anyone else in the world?
