There was a time when I used to spend hours a day on 4chan. I actually started the "[I accidentally](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/3ziiev/whats_your_lame_claim_to_fame/cymgx7t)" meme during my tenure there, and often contributed content that took on an amusing life of its own. Somewhere along the line, though, something changed. See, one of the things that appealed to me about the site was the raw, unfiltered way that everything came through. You'd often run into things you *really* would have preferred to avoid, of course, but that risk somehow added to the overall charm. Some of the funniest and most horrifying things I've ever seen came from 4chan, and it seemed like an endless spring of originality... until the well suddenly ran dry. Nowadays, the site seems like a pale imitation of its former self. There's still the apparent *attempt* at projecting that untamed atmosphere, but it comes across as being a corporate facsimile of panel-approved "Lawlessness™." Put another way, there's nothing interesting or exciting about being led through a haunted house after you've been chased through a decaying mansion by a real chainsaw-wielding maniac. **TL;DR: 4chan lost its teeth.**
