This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Facebook is also deep Web for most of it. Normies are the real freaks.

genuinely this. I used to think the dark web was so evil but then I found that it's literally just 70% people trying to scam idiots for money with edgy murder shops, 20% broken websites, and 10% dope ass art projects.

The real harm is YouTube shorts. Not even TikTok, it's relatively tame with some attention seekers. YouTube shorts makes rapists come off as the good people in society and seeing some kid IRL praise Andrew Tate is 1000x more terrifying than any decapitated head photo or jumpscare could be.

I think I agree but tiktok did help a rapist win the presidency.

I believe that the deep web used to refer to websites not referenced on search engines. Which was the case for 4 chan.

I think this is still the definition

The deep web,[1] invisible web,[2] or hidden web[3] are parts of the World Wide Web whose contents are not indexed by standard web search-engine programs.

But I don't remember a time that 4chan didn't appear on search results, it's just that the content disappears so quickly that the result you do get (and you get some results) aren't worth much, so they're demphasized. But I remember a long while back searching on Google with "site:4chan.org" and getting results.
