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.
