4chan, one of the trolliest places on the internet, could be gone for good following last week’s hack. In this episode, Devindra and Cherlynn break down what 4chan was and why it’s influence can be found practically everywhere now. It’s like we’re living in  a poster’s paradise. Also, we discuss YouTube’s 20th birthday and all of the memories (and frustrations) it’s given us over the years.
