I'm pretty sure it all comes from advertising.

Quote from the article:

Yet somehow we made it into 2009, and things began to look up. Long plagued by an inability to attract mainstream advertising, I partnered with an individual who took over representing 4chan's ad inventory, and for the first time in years the site began to break even.

Much of it Adult, too, since it is, well, 4chan.

4chan is not only /b/ and porn, there are surprisingly good SFW boards too. Well, maybe "SFW" is pushing it a bit, since the tone is still 4-chaney, but then look around the technology, cooking, or traditionnal games boards: you'll be surprised.

Oh, I'm well aware of that. /b/ is (arguably) the worst part of 4chan. 4chan has much more than porn, but it also has a lot of porn.

The world wide web has much more than porn, but it also has a lot of porn.

This was also true of Usenet.

/sp/ is honestly one of the funniest places on the internet.
