4chan attacks Youtube, somebody broke rule #1 of fight club

#1

Video-sharing website YouTube has removed hundreds of pornographic videos which were uploaded in what is believed to be a planned attack.
One user believed to have uploaded some of the pornographic material videos is Flonty, whose profile states that he is 21 and from Germany.

He told the BBC: “I did it because YouTube keeps deleting music. It was part of a 4Chan raid.”

4Chan is a bulletin board focusing on Japanese manga and anime but some of its more extreme sections have been described on online messageboards as “sick” and “horrifying stuff”.

Once more: ok.

4chan is what ‘normal’ people in real life are.

#10

why was it on the front page then? I mean, really.

#11

My mistake again - its actually on ‘most popular videos’ rather than the front page. But all the other videos are current events, im guessing its being bumped up by millions of 4chan kids viewing it.

#12

Ah, I see. Welp, I guess that is 4chan and BBC for ya then eh? Should I stop inadvertently bumping this thread? :blush:

#13

Rules 1 & 2 faggot.

Here’s a more contemporary account of the story, which adds some background. It involves a fat kid? Intrigue!

I suspect it failed.

#16

You’re a dumbass.

#17

4channers are so stupid.

The only thing that site is good for is the /hr/ board. And even then it sucks most of the time but now and then you get epic threads full of great high res pictures.

#18

I went there once.

ONCE.

#19

One time too many.

Anyway OP, I was there 2 hours after it first started, and it had already failed at that point.

The youtube admins had probably obtained a log with the ip addreses of all the Anons who followed the directions on that jpg image from that thread cuz their videos were deleted in a matter of seconds.

Sure you did Vermin. Just like you were hung on a coat rack once.

Once…
