I could be wrong, but it seems kinda obvious to me. Saying 'omg you don't want to be whatever terrible site that oh hey sidenote gets tremendous traffic' is probably not going to be effective IMHO. Bc... they do want to be a site that gets tremendous traffic, and whether the site is terrible or not would certainly be debatable from their perspective IN that instance.
Anyway..
a few years ago 2p2 cracked down on bikini pics in bbv4l because they were worried about advertisers. i would THINK that moving the tone of these boards more towards the messageboard that livestreamed a racist murder spree would look worse to advertisers than girls in swimsuits but i'm not a businessman.
