4chan suffered for its reputation, but not because it developed a stigma. After a year or two most of its new users came because of the stories they heard about /b/'s antics, and so tried to reenact them over and over. Even the ones that were actually funny the first time stoped being funny the billionth, but anything other than endless repition got drowned out.
