"4chan was always this bad" is a surviving meme with no merit.

10 years ago you could have a thread without /pol/ buzzwords coming up. 10 years ago the snarl word of the day was "hipster" for god's sake, you can look back through the archives and see the decline.

Yeah, fair point.

I haven't been a 4chan user for a long time (pre-Sarkeesian era), so my comment shouldn't be interpreted as an expert opinion on the decline of 4chan.

That said, doxxing and raiding someone in this way just because they're unpopular wouldn't have been out of the ordinary in 2010.
