This is pretty wild. Another channel I follow on the 'Tube is The Lunduke Journal. He's one of the 'Internet Greybeards', and the story today is massive.

This is [likely] the end of the 4Chan era, they were running on 10-year-old unsupported software, and the moderators used their .edu addresses. Some interesting stuff in the wreckage -- 10 million users were banned from an anonymous board. No apparent government involvement, else they're not a stupid as the educators.

The technical term for this is 'pants around the ankles'.
