also, the more I think about it, I think that writing an edgy fic could be seen with a higher regard that in the past because of social media.

Expressing your emotions through social media is a quick method and sometimes you don´t need to express them but clicking on a button of another person that says the same the discourse as you.

On the other side,looking at the bottom of those undesirable emotions requires more effort when there is a story written for filtering them. You have to think about its aesthetic, engage the reader, bring more topics or subtle details that accompany those thoughts and follow an universal structure of writing. So, we may have laughed at it and still do but I think that the 2010s has driven it to obscurity just to reinnovate itself and find other routes than the ones we usually know. Maybe the edgiest messages are thrown around with a light cover...

that was the biggest reason he ended up in Berlin. Recovering a little bit his health for a few months and produce the Berlin Trilogy: his 2nd release (Heroes) with Eno (Music for Airports) and Iggy Pop (The Idiot) in 1977. These releases seem unrelated to the topic but are essential to understand the post punk scene. Germany had a lot to do with it in fact.

>contrarinism prevented it from just bleeding users to new technology.
contrarians....contrarians everywhere. Also, isolated or socially marginalized people tend to use it as well.

oh boy, those were the days. 4chan = Deep Web. In fact, that´s one of the biggest newfag detectors, mostly because of the news they have heard around it. They have become unironically the public that keeps it. Now, newfags try to fit in by posting memes all the time when the veterans say that 4chan doesn´t always work that way.

>secondary migrations from fandom or groups that have a large presence on imageboards (anime, though it be less in 2010s but still a factor, some corners tied to boards like Warharmer for /tg/, bronies, along with politics ,etc). Among a dozen smaller things that I could probably think up if I really focused on it.
