I'm interested in seeing how this is going to become truly profitable, attract more investors, etc.

With images of obese kids with text like "OBJECTION" and "Don't you dare eat it!" and pictures of cats with text "YOU GONNA GET RAPED" and Katy Perry being green slimed with "HULK CAME" all on the front page, I'm failing to really understand where this site goes beyond 4chan with regard to money-making and becoming a truly public, widespread site. If I recall correctly, at TED Moot said that he, for obvious reasons due to the content of 4chan, was having trouble making the site really profitable.

Does prohibition of gore and porn images make Canvas suddenly more profitable than 4chan?

I can just see X company getting really upset when their ad is placed right next to some incredibly racist image/text that slipped through.

Time will tell, I guess.
