Are the Let's Go Brandon people really the same crowd as your average online chud? I thought the former were exclusively American, slightly more offline GOP-voting Trump rally attender types, where as the latter are alienated single white guys aged 15-35 who are into video games and hentai from across the world
From what I recall hearing, there was an influx of distinctly Facebook-style boomer posters onto 4chan in the past five years who were very much not steeped in chan culture and hated by the natives
Wasn't the big movement towards 4chan by boomers and other oldies entirely a function of Qanon? Since Qanon radicalized a whole bunch of people via Facebook, and only later started banning them, they ended up going somewhere "uncensored", where nobody minded their insane ramblings.
I very distinctly remember a few posts from theDonald or some other Reddit shithole, where they were talking about their 70+ year old relatives who lived in the middle of nowhere, who would go to the local library and demand that librians help them get on 4chan, so that they could see the latest Q post.

I was under the impression the influx of boomers on 4chan was a relatively recent phenomenon (2016-ish?)

I know, I was using boomer in its internet slang sense to mean "old person"
