So I randomly noticed that 4chan decided to bomb 9gag with ridiculousness (and that's putting it lightly).
A little research shows that the reason 4chan decided to bomb 9gag with ridiculousness is because 9gag allegedly claimed to be the source of most or all Internet Memes that we know and love.
And 4chan didn't take kindly to that kind of claim, especially with 9gag apparently making some kind of serious cash towards these meme and using them and abusing them when, apparently, they didn't even come up with this stuff.
My take on the situation?
Well, I definitely heard of 4chan before I heard of 9gag. Heard of 4chan since about 2008-09. Just learned of 9gag this year. I also know that 4chan has apparently been the source of memes for quite a while.
Also, 4chan's FaceBook page is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay funnier than 9gag's FaceBook page. I'm glad I discovered it.
And now there's a war between the two sites, which has apparently been wrecking 9gag's basic functions, such as signing up and posting stuff. Crazy thing is... can't you post anything you want on 4chan? without the need of signing up or even revealing your identity? So it's not even like 9gag can strike back with shit that hasn't already been 1up'd by 4chan itself.
The war has a "pointlessness" to it, but only because, well... in the end, I don't see how 9gag wins. Sure, 9gag may get more votes in polls on being better than 4chan, but that's just because of marketing. Ask 50 Cent; marketing can save your ass from anything and anyone. (seriously, how did 50's career not die going up against D-Block? marketing...)
Ultimately, I see 9gag shutting down its functions again until they just admit whatever they need to admit, be it that they're not better, that they didn't originate the majority of meme, or just simply defeat...
Personally, though? I'm rooting for the /b/rothers! They have apparently been entertaining me on the low for quite some time without me even knowing it, and as far as I know, they probably are the reason 9gag even exists.
you sir..are an idiot
ReplyDeleteand what lead you to that inaccurate conclusion, sir?
ReplyDeletebecause you are
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2SS0gZ_kKI
ReplyDeleteOf course.. child pornography, gore pornography and people telling you to a hero every post is far more better than a friendly community such as 9gag. Besides, 9gag didn't claimed to be the source of the memes... and the only ones who can have the right for that are the memes creators themselves
ReplyDeleteWrong, sirs. I have seen on MULTIPLE OCCASIONS 9gaggers claiming ALL the memes used by 4chan are theirs. O saw a couple claim that the rage face and the trollface were theirs. This is 1984 shit here, and it's pissing me off.
DeleteYeah, seriously, you stupid fuck.
DeleteFuck off moralfag and an hero. If you are such a pussy go and laugh at awful memes at 9gag. 4chan was never a place for pussies to laugh. 4chan is for sick fucks and those who aren't should stay away from it.
Deleteany source of 9gaggers claiming the memes are theirs? never seen/heard of it.
Deletei prefer 9gag because 4chan's website is shit, its not user-friendly, which of course is part of the image 4chan is representing...still shit (btw, 4chan didn't create the memes either, so wtf is up with war, just because 9gag has more followers??)
9 gag? Seriously? That site is filled with pieces of shit, all copied from 4chan haha and u call 4chan a site for sick fucks dammit u took ALL of the memes from 4chan and u still call 4 chan a place for sick fucks? U don't get anything do u? FUCK 9GAG
Delete9gag is the cancer of the internet, only newfags go on it and anyone seen on it should be shot upon sight. End.
DeleteMemebase...
DeleteTo the people who think the 9gagers are stealing the rights to memes.. you're just bullshitting. There is one Clear reason.
Delete1. Guy makes a site to post funny stuff.
2. People come along who are "native" to 4chan.
3. They start posting Rage Comics, Memes, Troll Faces and the works.
4. 9gag gets popular.. people not used to memes first see them on 9gag.. so their brains assume... it must belong to 9gag.
Y U NO UNDERSTAND BASIC LOGIC /b/ro's and 9gagers
p.s. no one gives a fuck about FJ anymore.
"Y U NO UNDERSTAND BASIC LOGIC /b/ro's and 9gagers" language of a shitty ass 9gagr GTFO
Delete4chan wasn't meant to be about funny stuff. 9FAG was supposed to be about random stuff that has nothing to be funny about, unless you're really retarded. 4chan created most of the poorly drawn memes, such as:
Delete-Trollface
-FUUU face
-Y U NO face
etc.
You 9fags don't know what other boards there are other than /b/. If you go on other boards, you'll find that they're much kinder than /b/. You 9fags say 4chan is /b/. /b/ is full of newfags and cancerfags. They would never want to see gore porn. What is up with you faggots?
9GAG: so it only takes uncreative ordinary average kids to troll 4chan, if u know what i mean, u mad 4chan?
DeleteIS FAR MORE BETTER
Delete9gag fucking sucks you cock sucking new fag bastard
Deleteso why watermark stuff? and why try to make money off of if it ain't yours?
ReplyDeletethese questions and more will be answered in the next exciting episode of The World Wide Web!
Watermarks? Eh, I don't get them either. Ads for the people who think the post is funny and shares, curiosity occurs, and the person who was shared with tracks the site and then profit?
Deletefor nTL;DR
1) Funny post, *shares + watermark*
2) Person # 2 recieves, *sees watermark*
3) Searches for site *types*
4) Profit?!?!
A really stupid technique for people who only want to get more views for their site.
@oversight or a really good technique designed to attract really stupid people, which explains the populace of 9fag.
Deletethe watermark is to prevent double post in 9gag you stupid fuck
DeleteI facepalmed so hard that there is a black void where my nose used to be.
DeleteWatermarks cant stop repost.
They are there to claim ownership and make money.
Me too, i don't see 9GAG winning... Just like i don't see Microsoft's Windows winning against Apple Computer's Macintosh back in the 80s...
ReplyDelete/sarcasm...
4chan doesn't have claims over the memes. Sure most memes started at 4chan, but that doesn't mean they own them.
The 9gag community are the biggest group of idiots I have ever seen. They are honestly REALLY stupid, and the equivalent of Medieval streetways; with all the faeces of the internet being thrown out of a window, landing on 9gag after much festering. Take a funny meme, wait a few months for it to be horribly overused, then post it on 9gag to have a community with the combined IQ of an inbred hillbilly beat the dead horse into fine powder.
DeleteEven more stupid than Americans? I think not!
DeleteThat's where the American 9gaggers come in.
Deleteoh shi-
Deletewhat they're watermarking is the comics/creation/content/idea not the memes themselves.
ReplyDeleteand if you actually research stuff before arriving to your final thoughts. Most 9GAG users hates "reposts". Posts that are actually not original.
memes aren't original anyway, so your argument is moot. also the posts on 9fag are cancer.
DeleteFuck 9gag bro
DeleteFunny. They hate reposts, yet I have seen a lot of memes reposted from Reddit or 4chan, or elsewhere, but not originating on 9gag. Heck I even seen a Dorkly video being passed off as their own, claiming 9gag owns this video, etc.
DeleteIf there are such claims by 9GAG and that 4CHAN have evidence that they own and "copyrighted" this Meme's - simply put a closed court case will decide the legitimacy of this "war".
ReplyDeleteTo me this is more like kids game of mine is mine by the "users".
This is not 4chan v. 9gag, it's the 4chan Community v. the 9fags. There are no claims of copyright, but rather butthurt /b/ros claiming haxorz. The /b/ros are pissed that 9fags are claiming that they created their memes. So naturally, the /b/ros use trolling methods such as "hacking" and sending unpaid-for pizzas to local 9fags. LOGIC.
DeleteHAHAH the WATERMARK on the 9GAG images?? Is that all this war is all about??! PFFFT OMG! I dont wanna live in this planet anymore.
ReplyDeleteOne should analyze full details before conclusion. Try to get any image from 9GAG. You'll see that its not actually a COPYRIGHT WATERMARK.
Its an online marketing strategy that says "NO DUCK FACE ON 9GAG.COM"
Read carefully as there is no "COPYRIGHT" "OWNED BY" "TRADEMARK" on this line of copy. Its basically a "Footer Note" to identify the source of the image.
Once you are in 9GAG, you can actually see the Original source of the images (if provided by the user who uploaded the image)
It should be about how 9Gag is pulling shit out of its ass by marketing and exploiting the originally expressive and unique content (oh god did I say that) that 4chan has had for years. It's not selling and claiming, but it sure gets a lot more money by exploiting the moronic part of society and generating much more lousy content from this part, and thus creating a self-sustaining amount of traffic which gives them easy advertising money. I knew when memes became more mainstream, shit would hit the fan just like this.
Deletehmmm can you please post a link or evidence that 9gag claim it is the source of memes? And i do not think there is a war or anything, just mostly misunderstanding. 4chan think 9gag claimed they are the source (which 9gag did not), they also think they are the creator of all memes (which they are not) just some of the memes. So, the whole "war" thing must have other reason.
ReplyDeleteHere @Reddit, the /b/'s claiming that 9GAG store is scoring real cash for Meme Stickers that they didn't created.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.reddit.com/r/4chan/comments/nj0nn/operation_9gag/
But anyways, who cares anyone can make it without permission. Im wearing a f.a guy they aint touchin me
insane fourchan hate. Fourchan is obviously funnier. Fourchan is obviously better. Whereas fourchan is about actual user generated entertainment ninegag is just a money making attempt. And thats why fourchans funnier... They can and will take a spin on the edge. I hope they do manage to shut ninegag down... Scum ass parasite ass website....
ReplyDelete4chan doesn't have a copywright on anything. if they wanted the exclusive use of memes, they should have applied some kind of patent on them. oh, but this is against their believings. so what are they bitching about?
ReplyDeleteand nobody EVER claimed to be the owner/inventor of anything on 9gag. the only thing 9gaggers are proud of, is that they are a friendly community, and that their people gladly help each other out, as the nescafè story shows. this is clearly disturbing to people who only unite when it's about destroying something or somebody. they are jealous we could make a difference too. easy as that. suckers.
Moralfag
DeleteThey each appeal to different audiences which is perfectly fine and both should exist. Complaints against 9gag, the watermarking, etc, however, are nothing compared to those against 4chan. One issue is user-generated content complaints and the debate of innovation vs imitation, but both sites are guilty of this. So even if 9gag is guilty in 4chan's eyes, 4chan should judge itself by its own standard half of the time. But it is 4chan users' tactics that tip the scales. Torture? Porn? Violence? and that is putting it lightly. They will spam-troll, w/o regard to others all because they are upset about the earlier issue, which they themselves have been guilty of.
ReplyDelete4chan doesn't try to profit off of their content, 9gag takes things made by other people and try to get money off of them.
DeleteWell u cant blame 9gag to have a better design and to be more userfriendly then 4chan, but i guess its wrong they r making shitload of money out of the internet memes.
ReplyDelete4chan shudnt be whining about their memes being on other sites though, they arent as userfriendly and they wanted to be a 'black' hole on the internet, memes were so good they were meant to go mainstream and 4chan just wasnt the right site for that.
So only justified claim from 4chan is the store on 9gag and the shitload of money they r making; and evryone knows the origins of memes are at /b/ board, maybe a little respect towards it might just do something good!
And indeed 4chan makes some dirty moves...
ReplyDeleteThe gore and porn only slanders their name more and more...
I'm a reddit user, most of us admit that 4chan makes the most OC. We make some too, but they pioneered it. Reddit doesn't profit from user created content like 9gag does, people don't make that so that others can profit.
Delete9gag is the nick jr. of the internet, and the shit on 4chan is only moderately perverted. Though sometimes you can find something really disturbing, it isn't that often. I'm an adult, I can handle seeing the odd gore and porn. That's not why I go to 4chan though, I go because it is much less restricted by social norms, and due to the anonymous nature of 4chan, a lot of content was earnestly created for my enjoyment (or at least to make me think). I'm usually on reddit, but I go to 4chan when reddit content creation can't keep up with my amount of internet use. I prefer reddit because it is user friendly. When that isn't satisfying enough, I go to the source.
DeleteITS UBER FUNNY TO SEE 4CHAN /b/ REACTION ABOUT THIS UBBBEEERR FUNNY..
ReplyDeleteThrough out web culture meme are sourced on this "few" documented sites
somethingawful
4chan
Cliché
imgur
Reddit
ROFLCon
Streisand effect
Taringa!
Tumblr
And a more than a dozen more not yet recorded...
4CHAN's /b/ rothers are the only one making a big fuzz about it.
Should now better that "these contemporary internet colloquial semiotics are evolutionary and is adopted by common consensus of various users regardless of origin and source"
It doesn't make a difference if I sell a t-shirt that says "FUCK YOU" because this is an operation-rhetorical-symbol-words used in every daily communication: NOTHING DIFFERENT IF I SELL A MEME SHIRT THAT SAYS "fffuuuuuuuuuuu..." (because this is an operation-rhetorical-symbol-words used in every daily communication in and out of the web.)
Seriously,
Internet Anthropologist
Its different when u put a trollface or a me gusta on it...
ReplyDeletePoint being, im not saying 4chan is right, but they do have some points.
OP IS A FAGGOT
ReplyDelete^^^^
ReplyDeleteI'm going to assume that's a 9gag guy from the "friendlier" community.
I'm looking at some of these comments, and it's like the only thing that makes 9gag "better" is limitation. OP makes an observation, comes up with a stance on it. If some of his points are wrong, point it out. You claim he lacks evidence, and yet you're just as vague. good going.
as far as 4chan v. 9gag... well, not only can new accounts still not be made, but something on there posted within the last 5 hours DEFINITELY originates from 4chan. so much for not liking reposts...
it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. my money's on 9gag because, well, yeah... 50 v. DBlock, Nas v JayZ, GameCube vs. XBox... being actually better doesn't always land you a win.

9gag is a company. Its goal is to make money. It uses Facebook and other marketing strategies, like watermarks and selling stickers and t-shirts to the masses. Using Facebook, it reveals the identity of his members automatically. It's politically correct by essence thus its humor is stale and not provoking.
ReplyDeleteIts basically the opposite of what 4chan stands for.
off course its against their rules to reveal the id of their users we see what they posted in less than an hour : child porn ultra-gore pics necrophilia stuff .now we know why a part of"4chan ers " want to stay anonymous... 9gag is JUST FOR FUN. the watermarks is used to avoid dumb reposter. and for many articles form the 9gag store 9gagers ask for their création .
ReplyDeleteA. Fucking. Mazing.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, 9gag is not claiming the memes.
ReplyDeleteI've been there for a long time and never have seen anything about that.
the watermark in 9gag is not for the memes. Jesus! Is for the posts. If I come up with an idea and make it a comic, or take a funny photo why NOT be watermarked?
Also, who are the creators of the memes? Have you got names? No. because they are anonymous. That's the bad when you are claiming to be anonymous.
Who can tell me that those memes were not stolen f.e. from a Japanese site? (as rumor has it?)
Anyway, I have beem to 4chan, and didn't like it. Its not userfriendly, its not fun, and has full of sick porn that turn my stomach upside-down.
9gag is friendlier, funnier, and more polite.
I didn't have any though about 4chan-ers , until now...
The whole sick-porn and gore attack they did, was the most low thing they could ever do.
If you want to fight, do it LIKE A BOSS.
Butthurt 9fags = win
ReplyDeletealso, knowyourmeme.com and http://encyclopediadramatica.ch/Offended
^ these are 2 reliable sources for the ignorants 9fags
YOU ARE A MORON. 9GAG DIDN'T CLAIM ANYTHING ABOUT THE MEMES. YOU'LL GONNA DIE TONIGHT..
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. LOL..
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
DeleteSOOOOO FUNNYY!
faggot
90% of 9gag members are illiterate Brazilian kids.
ReplyDelete9GAG is the meme equivalent of Ray William Johnson
ReplyDeleteThis issue, at its heart, is not the claiming of possession of the memes, but the fact that they are taking the creativity of others, and...wait for it, because this is really the heart of the matter...making money off of them. In essence, profiteering off the creativity of others is what riled up Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on this one, MarkWins. The 9Gaggers haven't been around nearly as long, and do not have the humorous caliber of 4Chan. When I think of meme humor sites I see a spectrum
ReplyDelete4Chan----------Reddit, Funnyjunk,etc.-------9Gag
Also the person who said 9Gag is the meme equivalent of Ray William Johnson is awesome.
Fellow Internet dwellers,
ReplyDeleteI am a 9gager, but most of all I am a person of the internet. I believe that this silly war was silly, I believe that as fellow denizens of this beautiful internet, we bask not in hate and arguments; but in the feats of union and camaraderie that we each display when we come to the aid of our fellow Internetians. I don't fully believe that 9gag is always right, or the funniest, it is just one of the many sites on the internet, like 4chan, that gives it spice and richness.
I believe we should stop our squabbles and unite as fellow Internetians, let those that would fuel hatred amongst us quake in fear, as they realize that we are no Anonymous, we are not the 9gag army.
WE ARE THE INTERNET, and we stand together.
Cheers,
-A proud Internetian
I salute you, proud sir, for taking the stand as well to stop the madness.
DeleteLove the fact you are using Anonymous quotes Did they start on 9Gag as well?
Deletelike Thor said when the human Avengers were bickering, pathetic humans.
DeleteTrue that some people just want to watch the world burn. Some wishes to troll for entertainment.
but this war is different
butt-hurt VS butt-hurt, nothing more than that
"y so serious?" they say
although somethin's tellin me 4chan is gettin trolled lulzzz 9GAG DO THEIR THING JUST FOR FUN BRO! calm yo tits
9gag community can get furious with the posts that are considered to have crossed the borderline.
while 4chan are more relaxed.
But now i guess 4chan is not any tougher than 9gag, same still butt hurt.
(still, i dislike 9gag now that they're tooooo mainstream today)
^Go back to your hippie van.
ReplyDeleteGo back to your cave.
DeleteFucking cancer on the Internet. /b/ isn't attacking 9gag just because of the memes, its because kids are ruining the site that started everything. It was an anonymous community where everything remained within the site. Now you have these faggot kids who go "OMG TROLL" or "LOLUZ" and ruin any shit we came up with. Facebook is riddled with these annoying hipsters who act like trolls with weak sauce ideas. Our ideas, images, memes, words and they think they have an army. HA! Friendly? FUCK friendly. They don't like anything intense and filled with gore? SO go fuck yourself and fap to your shit. /b/ isn't suppose to be user friendly, family friendly or any other shit. It was a place where people could go to post funny, crazy and outrageous shit, without consequences. You have cancer kids posting with facebook accounts...sigh faggotry.
ReplyDeleteWhen I see hipster and stupid fucks say "Pedobear"...it rages me.
9gag ain't shit. Bunch of kids trying to be funny by ripping ideas.
calm yo tits, 4chan is tolerant of gore, butthurt w/ what has happened? seriosly? 4chan is getting trolled? trollception?
Deletewe just wanna see how 4chan would feed us, go go =)
Hi. I am anonymous. Anonymous is legion.
ReplyDeleteI laugh when your stomach twist and turns at the slightest show of blood and gore on your screen. Anonymous laugh together when they mock something stupid. They will nitpick at your grammar. They will insult your possible gender and sexuality. And yet they will always be there for you when you need help. Despite the rumors of Anonymous being a bunch of douchebag nerds- oh wait. That's true. But at least Anonymous helps you grow and Anonymous grow with you. We will not pat your ass and say YOU GO GIRL. We will tell you to fucking man up and do your shit properly.
4chan is our main dwelling
9gag is just a gag site that wants to earn from something it did NOT create.
That is the reason why 9gag will never win against 4chan.
Uhh, no, Anonymous is a group of people who actually CARE about the internet. 9gag introduces these memes and gags without swimming through porn and gore. Nitpick at grammar? Your grammar looks like that of a retarded monkey, randomly bashing at the keyboard. So, I really don't care which site wins, all I care about is the internet community and its cancerous amount of posers like YOU.
Deletebecareful, 4chan has been trolled back
Delete^^
ReplyDeleteFUCKING THIS!!
I can clearly see all these 9gag supporters are in fact, 9gaggers. Disgusting.
Friendlier community My ASS. I hate communities like that. All a bunch of hypocrites and faggots, two faced bastards.
Yeah, 9GAG. sure. stick with your softcore Internet colture. Like you even know how these memes started, why they were started, what eevn made them so funny and viral.
I used to be like the only guy in my class who loved memes. Then all of a sudden half the class makes jokes about memes, all of them things they took from 9GAG and barely even understand themselves. When one of them said 9GAG was genius for inventing this memes, I wanted to bitchslap him.
"FRIENDLIER" Communities + Pathetic moneygrab +involving Social network == Obviously a result of somethign bursting into the mainstream media.
Call me Indie, call me a hipster, call me whatever the fuck your sorry ass wants to. I know Where this shit started, and hiding behind the copyright argument just proves how pathetic you guys are, bunch of snakes.
4Chan is responsible for more than half of these memes at LEAST, and is the reason Anonymous is such a popular term. Be no one-- Be everyone.
True, these poser 9gagger classmates of yours make the internet community of fun loving people look like a dirty whorehouse. 9gag only promoted the memes because of their cleaner system of images. Unlike 4chan which has some rather interesting stuff in the random boards, if you know what I mean. And yes, 4chan was responsible for the memes but 9gag introduced them to the public WITHOUT the very interesting stuff you find the in the 4chan imageboards. And so, I thank 4chan for introducing the memes to the internet and I thank 9gag for introducing them to me without the "interesting" stuff. So basically, 4chan is like the writer, and 9gag is the publisher, though the 9gag watermarks are a butthurt to anyone who posts them.
DeleteI would put it this way:
Delete1) 4chan invents the memes
2) they go through the human centipede that is reddit, fj and facebook
3)at last they get shitted out into 9fag's mouth, where it is constantly reused and reused ad infinitum, owing to them being degenerate faggots.
so, 9fag is not the publisher, but rather the end-user who claims that they whore the memes.
"Call me Indie, call me a hipster, call me whatever the fuck your sorry ass wants to."
ReplyDeletelove it.
Thanks, I try my best.
ReplyDeleteIf only All these assholes would jus dissapea-- *COMMENT REMOVED BY SOPA*
4chan is the trouble making little brother of SomethingAwful.com
ReplyDeleteThat's where m00t (creator of 4chan) branched off after he was banned from SA after posting lolli pics on the anime board. That was in part the reason for CP being posted (as a joke initially) to try and stretch /b/'s "no rules" as far as it would go.
The CP caused m00t to make rules on /b/ which casued "/b/ day" which helped form 7chan when a mass exodus occurred.
/b/'s disgusting nature has it's roots in m00t. He's a pedo and faggot. The mods of /b/ are faggots, 9gag is a bunch of norm hipster faggots, reddits a shitty formatted gayspace, tumblr is fapp worthy when you find them cutting nympho freaks that post naked pics, and can clearly see cutt marks.
PS: "FUUUUUU Guy belongs to /v/"
9fags aren't shit. They can't win. If /b/ wants /b/ can destroy them.
ReplyDelete/b/ can drive people to suicide.
/b/ fucks with other sites,not the other way around
9GAG: so it only takes uncreative ordinary average kids to troll 4chan, if u know what i mean, u mad 4chan?
Delete4chan can have created the memes, most people never heard of them because they were used so badly by a site badly handled as 4chan.
ReplyDeleteWhen some brilliant guys decided to handle the way this Creation of Heaven (Memes) should be used. Instantly, it became funny at a point everybody knew of 9gag.
9gag claim creating the memes, it claims having the friendliest and cleanest community that use Memes at their best, like never 4chan could ever imagine how.
^^ and that's the problem right here. some 14-year-old brazilian illiterate. 9gag is full of those candy-asses. they don't even understand what memes mean. god, 9fag is the cancer of the internet. 9fag-army my ass. you suck.
ReplyDeleteFuck you, people like YOU are the cancer of the internet. If more of you stupid, narrow-minded dumbfucks appear, I swear to fucking get a life.
DeleteI got nothing against 9gag. My 11 year old little brother loves the site. But thats just the thing. Its for kids. 4chan is the perfect mix between serious/trolling threads and wonderfull/disgusting comedy :) And most of the shit that is recycled on 9gag origins from 4chan. So which site is better? I cant decide that. All i know is that 9gag is a much younger and cleaner site which is good if there are younger ppl spending their time in front of it.
ReplyDelete9gag is clean at some points, so people from 9gag try to instruct people to NOT go to 4chan since the random threads of 4chan contain some very interesting content.
DeleteThere is no war, just 14 year-olds talking about things they don't understand.
ReplyDelete9gag is a newly sprung site with immature people overusing memes they don't understand and illiterate kids praising wizard books and cartoons.
4chan is one of the most influental forces in the internet that has given birth to countless memes and reshaped the internet culture to what it is today.
It's like a cat fighting a riot police; sure it's annoying, but it's pretty obvious who's going to triumph.
oh boy, what a bunch of idiots... these "b" or whatever the fuck.. probably just a bunch of americans who like gore stuff and think they are hardcore, geez..
ReplyDeleteITT: butthurt 9fags
ReplyDeletei began to read the comments, then realized every person is just a butt hurt 9fag.
ReplyDelete4chan did start the memes. i frequent 4chan often, and 9gag, but 9gag does take credit for things such as memes, starting anonymous (hackers), various raids etc.
i understand they are allowed to use memes, and watermark content. but its like some kid stealing a joke from a stand up comedian and telling people he made it up. It starts shit
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111220152012AAEIpFL
ReplyDeleteread this, and this is just one 9fagger taking small credit for being original, even though 4chan has been doing it for years before.
BTW, FunnyJunk - 2001. 4chan - 2003. 9gag - 2008. Tumblr 2009
and tumblr also likes to "boast" about memes being started in their site.
you see, memes originate from all around the internet, some/most grow due to 4chan, however are not orignally from there. This happens at 9gag, memebase and reddit too, however 9gag hasn't been around for too long, so has probabl;y spawned the fewest memes.
ReplyDeleteWho gives a shit, who steals what, they all steal from eachother, I find 9gag to hve a nicer interface.
finally somebody understands
Delete4chan > 9gag
ReplyDelete9gag has more views but fuck it quality over quantity
To lazy to read all your shits but here are the main themes
> no it's not marketing /b/ doesn't want underage newfags there
> 9gag steals memes
> no OC
> you don't have to like 4chan which is not a very friendly site but at least go to memebase or some other good site with funny OC not fucking 9gag DAMNLOL or iLOL are new too i think but better than 9gag
9gag NEVER stole the memes. they just utilize it like any other person on the interwebs. Did I forget to mention that only poser 9gaggers claim the memes?
DeleteOkay guys, 9gag will always win for me. It's my opinion and can't mess with me cause 9gag is my solemate and you people are stupid. 4CHAN SUCKS!
ReplyDeleteYou know what, FUCK YOU. If not for 4chan bored people, we 9gaggers wouldn't have any memes to utilize in the first place! So, fuck off poser, we 9gaggers don't need you.
Delete9GAG: so it only takes uncreative ordinary average kids to troll 4chan, if u know what i mean, u mad 4chan?
Delete9gag: 12 year old ignorant kids who surrender their anonymity to facebook. Their greater avhievementis that they fought against Nestlé not for the evil food corp they are but because some dude asked 9fags to spam their contest page in order to win and the win was refused.
ReplyDeleteShould I go on? Nope, I like the fact that 9faggots are trolling 4chantards every time they claim to be the origin of memes and shit.
True, both sides are stupid. Poser 9gaggers makes 9gag look like shit. Whilst the same with the other sides. 4chan posers, or those who lurk, never post, but STILL claim to be from 4chan makes the internet look like a box of crusty turds.
Delete9GAG: so it only takes uncreative ordinary average kids to troll 4chan, if u know what i mean, u mad 4chan?
Deleteinternet, serious business, 4chan is turning hypocrite about having fun
Deleteyou're all stupid
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you all have nothing better to do than argue over this... Why do you invest all of this emotional energy? Honestly, who even CARES? They're just websites. People can enjoy one or the other. Arguing over it is a massive waste of time.
ReplyDeletetoo long, didnt read lol
Delete9gag is the funniest place on the earth!
ReplyDeleteNot.
Deletelol i hate those brazillian fucks at 9fag seriously 9fag is the perfect example of faggotry
ReplyDeleteSounds like a bad case of the troll. also, *9gag.
DeleteGet your spelling and grammar right, you piece of internet shit.
Neither site sucks, really. But I gotta credit 9gag with introducing memes to the masses, especially my friends. It was pretty sad laughing at shit that no-one else around you understood. On the other hand, hearing meme jokes everyday is getting kinda annoying...
ReplyDeleteNothing abnormal about all the bitching about which website is better, though. People want to belong, people want an identity, and a website is close enough to providing both. Only fair that people would want to protect its name.
Still, you guys need to chill the fuck out and have fun for once.
The sad part is that 4chan shouldn't attack 9gag because some 9gaggers believe they came up with shit. What's the site's official stand on that? They would probably deny it. Honestly, I love 4chan but this is pathetic. You're holding a website/organization responsible for what it's dumbest, lowest, and most pathetic members claim/do. If the same was done to 4chan...I shiver at the thought. It would have been shut down a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, that's all.
Great... First you guys fuck the government off the world for toying and playing with your freedom. Now.. you guys fight over each other on the very grounds that you guys are trying to save in the first place. Get a grip of yourselves please. Its like ACTA/SOPA/PIPA all over again but... in the internet...
ReplyDeleteThis is the comment with greatest sense.
DeleteSeriously, 4chan is DIFFERENT, NOT BETTER, NOT WORSE than 9GAG. Get your facts right, dumbass. I don't want to insult you with such words but your idiotic article beat me to it.
ReplyDeleteRooting for /b/? What a kid you are! Honestly, you're making a fool out of yourself.
I wanted to not give a fuck but then I just had to say it.
You deserve to forcibly hear Justin Bieber's music.
I used to go on 9gag, then I realized it was a faggot site and go on 4chan now.
ReplyDeleteyou sir should change ur name to mark loose, bitch 9gag is the best site ever but the reason that u dont find it funny is cause u r american and as 9gag always said americans are dumb, plus i heard of 4chan yesterday so does that make it a new site? NO.
ReplyDeleteso the only insult u can take is u r AMERICAN. peace on 9gaggers
9gag isn't the best, so shut up 9gag poser. a true 9gagger knows that there are other sites besides 9gag which are actually really good, or even better.
Delete9gag been there not funny at all. Okay to be fair only a few were funny but the majority of the modified meme crap that was being dished out daily was just....crap that butchers the original. http://9gag.com/gag/137205 <----- WTF is this shit?
ReplyDeleteRules 1 & 2, newfag!
ReplyDeleteNo, rules 1and 2 apply to raids only. You don't know that therefOrenyou are the newfangled... Lurk moar
Delete9GAG watermarks VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING. And a lot of people remove watermarks on images they take from other sites, only for it to be replaced by the 9GAG watermark when reuploaded. This is stupid.
ReplyDeleteAnd did I mention the comments are filled with people desperately trying to be funny by overusing already overused memes?
True that. Attention whores in the comments section really fucks up the system. 9gag watermarks? Yeah, I hate those too, even though I've been on 9gag for a while.
DeleteNo one said that memes come from 9gag, most of them are not inveted on 9gag. What 9gag does, is collect all the funny images from the web and images and rage comics made from it's users. No one said that everything on 9gag is original. 4chan is just pissed off because he didn't make any money, and 9gag did it. That's not wrong, it's just business. And I respect 4chan for what he made, but I love 9gag because it is so much funnier.
ReplyDeleteone thing I don't like about 9gag is the whole voting system.
ReplyDeleteI prefer 4chan because it doesn't have one. I don't like attention whores, and any voting system will be good for attracting them.
a true /b/ro wouldnt give a fuck about other meme sites, just hack the site for fun tho..
ReplyDeleteWhat people don't seem to understand is that 4chan isn't (or wasn't) pissed that 9gag used the memes, more so that they apparently laid claim to them. Trust me, i know plenty of 9gaggers who think their website came up with the rage faces and the memes. Seriously, fuck them. fuck them all.
ReplyDeleteYour 9gagger friends only CLAIM to be true 9gaggers. TRUE 9gaggers know where the shit they laugh at came from. The only original stuff that comes from 9gag are the so-called "Forced Memes" which are memes which look nice, but ultimately fail. Trust me, I know some too, they claim to be 9gaggers but they don't know the origins, which gives me the urge to slap their faces. I've been a 9gagger for quite a while and let me say... FUCK YOU TOO.
Deletei lol'd at this thread fuck all both of the sides jeez move on people. get a fuckin life out of the internet dumb fucks.
ReplyDeleteWhy do people make money off of these stuff? I mean, memes and gags were created for fun, not monetary reasons. 9gagers and 4chan people, Y U NO MORE MATURE? 9gag should remove the watermark and cite the users/OP/makers. BLAME THE NEW AND IGNORANT USERS FOR NOT KNOWING SHIT. I know that the hate is mostly on 9gag but in this time period, what can people do? I admit that after watching most of the people around me, even on the net for sometime, they refuse to be corrected and are ignorant of facts. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO CLAIM STUFF FOR THE NAME OF THEIR FAVORITE SITE. Fuck them. FUCK THE RETARDS WHO HATE JUST BECAUSE THEIR SIDE IS LOSING THE FIGHT. FUCK THE BRAIN-DEAD MONKEYS WHO THINK THAT 9GAG SUCKS. FUCK THE BRAIN-DEAD MONKEYS WHO HATE 4CHAN. FUCK THE HACKERS WHO HACK FOR NO APPARENT REASON. People of the internet, I give you the new generation. The generation of dumbfucks, fucktards, haters, posers, and plagiarists. I will take a stand and not choose any more sides. TO HELL WITH THIS MADNESS. Fuck given to 9GAG? Zero. Fuck given to 4chan? Zero. Let us chill the fuck out and deal with the shithead politicians who keep fucking up the internet, like what they did with MEGAUPLOAD. I say turn your hatred against them and show them the power of the internet. As said once before, use the fire within your angered hearts and scorch the politicians who fuck with the internet.
ReplyDelete9gag should pay yao ming or downlow or whynne.. they're the most used meme in their site.
ReplyDeletethis x vs y thing sounds like avril lavigne vs the emo underground community wayback...
quite a trend in the science of memetics?
Wow, there's a long debate here!
ReplyDeleteI have (or rather, had, before it sucked) been a 4chan regular since about 2005. 9gag is much newer and just recycles (mostly very old) memes from, and this is important to point out, NOT JUST 4CHAN, but also Something Awful (SA is one of the oldest internet communities and have made some of the best ORIGINAL CONTENT) so yeah 9gag has made nothing.
Oh and in case anyone is interested. I left 4chan sometime in late 2006/ early 2007 when it started to turn shit and started being all moralfaggy and getting rid of /cake/ and other such things. 7chan was much better for a while, but now pretty much all chans that aren't totally specific niche sites suck. The MLP one is kinda OK.
9gag is way too cool than 4chan. And by lazy mathematics, we prove that...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................4chan=Justin Bieber
ReplyDeleteWhy bother argue this could go on for ages, instead of fighting eachother fight SOPA fighting eachother just leads to 2 websites becoming enemies... when the real enemy is SOPA and no I am not a damn hippie, i just hate seeing 2 of my favourite sites fight like wolves over food (no offence i think)
ReplyDeletesir, I don't fucking know if you are serious or a complete retard. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BITCH!
ReplyDeleteRules one and 2 newfag!!!
ReplyDeleteon a related note, FUCK REDDIT
ReplyDeleteNobody cares which site is better. 9GAG's layout is simple and easier for people to read, so that's probably why it has more likes. Maybe it did steal all the memes, maybe it does suck. But then again, who cares?
ReplyDeleteHah, I love a good shitstorm. Anyway, this place looks active enough, so I shall have my say in this, as someone who dislikes 9gag. So maybe 4chan really didn't make ALL of the memes, for example, the Y U NO face originated in the Gantz manga, but for people to take advantage of original content without acknowledging sources...welp that's no good, right? 9gag's main audience is students that can't access places like 4chan (or any other 'chan, for that matter) while in school or something. Of course there is the claim that it's stolen work or whatever, but everything is reposted from someplace else, so there will almost never be concrete evidence to back that up. I for one despise 9gag for the ridiculous amounts of cancer that has spawned from that one place. People are overusing these memes, especially in real life, and to put it simply, irks me to no end. And then they start shoving it into everyday speech, to make matters worse. Perhaps ignorance truly is bliss~
ReplyDelete/rant end
I just find it easier to go on 9gag than to go on 4chan. And PLEASE, its the Internet, you can steal whatever you want.
ReplyDeleteyou shouldn't base the site's popularity from their facebook page. 4chan is actually not proud of its facebook page. 4chan is anonymous and true /b/ros wouldn't show their faces on facebook. 4chan is probably used by more people than is 9gag, but 9gaggers arent afraid to show they like their site. so dont make conclusions on which facebook page has more likes, because that's retarded.
ReplyDeleteand yes, 9gag sucks. every site on the internet, not just 4chan, hates it.
Wow. First time I read an article with shitloads of comments: very shallow people.
ReplyDelete9gag vs 4chan
Seriously. I've known 4chan before 9gag. But I really never bothered to use 4chan after I saw its complicated interface. Dude like seriously, who dafuq would want their time be wasted by looking for what they want? 4chan's interface is pure shit. Offense intended. 4chan-ers (or whatev you call these people) really are mad that about the "oh, memes started at 4chan", "ooooh, 4chan is the ORIGINAL" YES WE ALL KNOW THAT. And so what? Talking about your interface, surely many people would prefer a simpler interface that is convenient, which 9gag offers. Go ahead and see for yourself: go to 4chan, many links appear, is that really newbie-friendly? go to 9gag, damn straightforward posts. And you guys are confused why 9gag is more favored by people.
9gag's watermarks. Of course some stupid shallow person misunderstood the watermarks. It's for marketing, dumbass. It's not the memes they are "watermarking", it's the post. When someone posts it to another site, they would see "Y U NO GO TO 9GAG.COM" not some shitty "MEME COPYRIGHT OF 9GAG.COM" smth like that. If you really insist, then ask your 4chan owners to place watermarks like that. I don't really care. WE don't really care :)
If your issue is "oooh, 4chan started the memes", are you sure enough?
I've never seen 9gag claim memes as it's own, and watermarks are to prevent reposts and people duplicating posts, its not working out well, but its there so that you can credit it to 9gag. And its users posting memes or whatever, just like any other site, and 4chan is saying it didn't claim, thats BS and you know it. 9gaggers like the format and the way it is, leave it be, if its "the cancer of the internet" stay the hell away from it, its pointless making a big deal of it.
ReplyDeleteFucking idiots. 4chan isn't about memes and that fucking /b/
ReplyDelete4chan has a lot of boards.
If you're gonna be a typical stereotype fag who goes everything that is mainstream then go to 9fag. Go share it with your stereotype friends in your fb. Claim yourselves with no souls even tho you can't handle gore.
4chan:
if you're a smart person, want to learn something new. go to /x/(my fave, full of mystery) /lit/ /mu/ /v/ etc
If you want hardcore porns + funny shit like raiding(shit that pwnt 9fag) and a lot of stuffs like deepweb go to /b/
Now see the differences? It's not all about memes. And 4chan is a lot better than 9fag.
We hate 9gag because:
ReplyDeletetheir "le le le" language
everyone complaining about repost if you can just press j or k and skip it
always saying that they made almost all of the memes
when sopa ended: they keep saying that "THEY did it!", etc. but no
theres plenty more.
I am a 9gagger sirs, and I shall stand up for the site I find funny, while it may not be the best site, I like 9gag because it is a simple scroll down list where everything is easy to see, unlike reddit or 4chan where you have to click on the things you're interested in. Besides, 9gag has an NSFW system, unlike 4chan and the devil's site /b/. Ps, go to what does the internet think, search up 4chan, 9gag and reddit. The results will surprise you
ReplyDelete/b/ is known for raiding random things whenever they feel like it. So they decided to raid 9gag who gives a fuck. Why the fuck is this still being talked about really? You're all fucking cancer.
ReplyDeleteThen why don't you try to sell YOUR meme, 4chan? We don't give a fuck, do as you please
ReplyDeleteSaying that 4chan is for sick fucks is pretty much complimenting it. I'm glad that 9gag exist so it removes most cancerous users off 4chan. like fads, people will loss interest in 9gag.
ReplyDeleteJust stop fighting, common users just don't care, we just want to have some fun
ReplyDeleteKEEP TALKIN FAGGOTS.
ReplyDeletefuck 9fags, honestly. I will kill every fucking one of them.
ReplyDeletehttp://superofficialnews.com/9gag-suing-reddit-for-50-million-dollars/
ReplyDeleteThe 9gag owner itself claiming 95% of memes come from 9gag.
*grabs popcorn*
oh boy.
DeleteThat. Is. Hilarious.
I bet I got that from 9gag too.
9fags.....funny how they are hated by the internet yet keep fighting
ReplyDeleteGod here. I'm responsible for all of this...
ReplyDeleteI'll make sure it won't happen again.
Sorry for any inconveniences!
