The relationship between 4chan and 9gag is primarily a competitive and hostile one, both of which are internet culture and meme aggregation platforms, but 4chan sees 9gag as a content stealer, leading to multiple online conflicts and "wars". 4chan: is an anonymous image board website created by Christopher Poole in 2003 and inspired by 2chan in Japan. Users do not need to register, they can post anonymously, mainly known for various theme boards (such as /b/ random board), it is the birthplace of many Internet memes, it emphasizes anonymity and freedom, and the big money $troll and $bucky these days were born on 4chan The market capitalization is currently 140m and 13m respectively. 9GAG: Founded in 2008, it is a website that mainly shares funny pictures, videos, and memes. Users can log in through Facebook and use the like system (similar to Reddit's upvote), which is more mainstream and user-friendly, but is often accused of copying content from other websites, and the leading meme currently born in the local dog market is Sydney Girl $jugs, with a market capitalization of 2.5m. The relationship between 4chan and 9gag is a typical Internet subculture confrontation: the former represents an anonymous and original "underground" culture, while the latter is a commercialized and mainstream aggregator. This tension drives the spread of meme culture, but it also exposes copyright issues in online communities, so when will there be action 👀👀👀 on the 4gag side when the 4chan meme hype is in full swing?
