Yep. How many major companies do you recall advertising on 4chan?

That question was discussed on 4chan itself recently. I believe the suggestion was that twitter will be saved by onahole retailers and pirate anime streams. There's also that one guy that buys ads for his own Spotify playlist. That certainly won't sustain twitter but it's a humorous future to think about for the org.

If they can deliver a profitable DR platform they'll be fine. Sounds like they haven't done that yet though, if the upfronts are this big a deal.
