But we already have 4chan, and those sites are actually harder to use, and less reliable.
Finding actual information on image boards, is like finding a needle in a hay stack. Which is why we need to find their reposts elsewhere, on sites such as the .win network.
Sure they have their usefulness, but those sites already exist.
Right. Because they aren't designed for research. They are designed for conversations that self expire. Only the most autistic are capable of using them to present information to any effect.
What you are thinking of, is a standard forum format. Linear without threads, but possessing a permanent record.
For reasons related to the endorphin feedback loop, and the dominance of smart phones. People refuse to use them, in spite of their clear usefulness.
Combine the standard forum format with: a permanent record, embedded images and videos, functionality like the extension 4chanx for 4chan i.e. show preview of off-screen replies when you hover over the code, previews of images, and custom filters... and I'd be sold.
This place better get embedded images soon - I find not having it very restricting.
