Reply to comment by DrabDonut in How a Major Toy Company Kept 4chan Online | Documents obtained by WIRED confirm that Good Smile, which licenses toy production for Disney, was an investor in the controversial image board. by MortWellian

It allows for threads where more than one person will reply to each other. The way reddit works you won't get notifications if someone replies to the guy who replied to you.

How is it any different? 4chan does not give you notifications unless you leave a tab with a thread open from what I remember, and I know for a fact from being there back in the day that anon's will fucking gut Moots replacement if he ever fully implements notifications.

And encourages more replies? Most of those are the same people posting "angry" responses to make sure people fall for their bait and it ensures the thread doesn't immediately get buried. Ask me how I know lol. Sure, some boards show a temporary way to identify who's who, but that can easily be bypassed by a vpn.
