I've never posted anything at 4chan. Wonder if moot made any $ off 4chan all those years.

 

According to an interview with him in 2012, he doesn't:

4chan has no full-time employees, no developers or system administrators, which means Poole and a part-time developer manage a site that continues to get upwards of 20 million visitors a month, by themselves.

 

“It doesn’t really make money,” Poole says at the Web Summit in Dublin, Ireland, clad in his traditional garb of dark grey hoodie and lighter-grey t-shirt. 4chan has no venture capital investors, either

With the traffic that site gets, can you imagine the ad revenue he could have made.

 

Indeed! Although, I do not know what kind of company would want to support 4chan. I mean it is 4chan.... You definitely would not want your company targeted...

 

That and I do not think it would of become what it has if he would of went that route.
