It blurred the line between jokes and ideology. And it taught the internet how to organize chaos at scale.👀 Did 4chan create modern internet culture… or corrupt it? How did a fringe forum gain so much power over mainstream society? And why does its influence still haunt the web today?📌 Love the episode? Show some love, follow, comment, and share!
