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.

1. We are all to some degree lazy and pacified. We fear what would happen if we didn't have access to our everyday conveniences.
2. We are too pessimistic and jaded to the world around us. We cannot see how solidarity could work when everyone around us is so selfish.
