Imagine that you railed against the current state of 4chan for 3 years, were ousted from the meta board and then voluntarily started posting on an alternative that offers less freedom than what was enjoyed previously. Your moderators are hungry for opportunities to exercise their powers in plain view of a disenfranchised community that is finding it harder and harder to acquire an IP that works... And you are asked to compensate the administrator in order to circumvent the controls that he implemented with his sloth and disregard for the preferences of his discreet users. It is, in truth, a 1 for 1 duplication of the same scheme that Hiro has ran before. Buy the pass to evade the rangebans. Buy the pass to remove the captcha. It is a familiar bargain. In your heart of hearts, you know it's the same Jewish bake sale, but your unmerited fervent loyalty to a figure you barely know precludes you from connecting the dots and realizing that your administrator has become an inferior copy of the one you've grown to detest on the old site. Worse still, his moderators are totalitarians who pretend to discuss matters in good faith before executing administrative actions that promote their views what of ideal forms of discourse are and only their views. You soon find that your new home has become wrought with all the same corruption and self-interest that has steered so many alt-chans astray. A breaking point is inevitable. In your mind's eye, you begin glancing at the doomsday clock that's hanging in the middle of the room. You know that with each passing day, tensions will grow. You know that this mounting animosity, which has so far been successfully concealed, will soon boil over into an untenable revolt. A revolt that will trigger a mass exodus and blow the imageboard into stardust where it will be forgotten by the memories of the internet. (cont.)
