Quote Sheet:Cole Stryker ‘Here’s a short list of what 4chan has been blamed or lauded for, depending on your perspective: they started a version of Lolcats, probably the Internet’s top meme . . . They started the ‘Rickroll,’ a trick where you click on a link you want to see, but instead you’re brought to a YouTube video of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna GiveYou Up” [and] they spread a rumor that Steve Jobs had a heart attack, and the shares of Apple dropped $10’
— Vanity Fair ‘Like it or hate it, 4chan is an important cultural force . . . It is a huge site, and so many Internet memes are formed there, it’s hard to ignore it’
— June Cohen, executive producer of TED media ‘One of the largest forums on the internet...one of the darkest corners of the web’
