An irony of success

Article about the creator of 4chan

https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/16/AR2009021601565_pf.html
This is moot.

His real name is Christopher Poole.

He is responsible for the online lives of 5 million monthly 4chan visitors -- the hackers, slackers and potty-mouthed geeks. They come to 4chan when they should be doing calc homework. Now -- in debt, out of work, another example of the Internet's intangibility -- Poole just needs to figure out how to make that matter.

 		Interesting.. the fact that he commands a meme machine but can't get any advertisers. I'd love to see the metrics on 4chan..
