eh, I don't know. I remember when he first announced Canvas and most of 4chan simply responded "so what?" moot does mean something to most 4chan users but mostly just because they get to post in a moot thread I'm not sure you can really capitalize on that userbase, at least not in a monetizable way.

Canvas was targeted at a separate demographic. I remember reading the introduction screens for canvas and cringing.

"Take this image and remix it with your creativity!" (to paraphrase) That line alone could of caused the mass rejection of canvas from the denizens of 4chan. Canvas was not targeted at 4chan's users.

There was some interest in canvas in the community but the heavy handed moderation killed that pretty quick.
