Because of the stuff stated in the article Hiroyuki is like the perfect guy to work with the feds like god knows what kind of system was implemented ever since he took ownership of the website like I bet every "Anonymous" user has his own folder where they track every single thing they do on the website which they hand over to feds or sell to advertisers coming from from the same ip-address like post-data, mouse movements, redirects, opened/downloaded files.
I also remember watching a livestream from null (the owner of kiwifarms) on the situation with Hiroyuki and Jim Watkins a few years ago:
https://youtu.be/AJouK4e28hE [Play] and from what I remember, null being the normalnigger that he is (taking shit at face value without doing any actual research), bought everything Hiroyuki said about the situation portraying Hiroyuki as the sole victim having done absolutely nothing wrong in this case.
I should probably rewatch that livestream since my memory about it is kind of foggy although I remember there being a few mentions about how Jim kept losing many users to platforms like twitter and how when he tried to modernize 2channel users kept getting mad at him since they like their internet looking like it's out of the last century.
It would be really interesting to hear this from the perspective of any 2channel users who were around during Hiroyuki's reign to compare his treatment to Jim Watkin's of the website and if Jim Watkin's statement of how Hiroyuki abandoned the website is really true as just browsing the "Let’s talk with Jim-san" threads it feels almost as if Hiroyuki neglected the website for many years until Jim Watkin's stepped in and fixed problems plaguing the website for years. You can just hear many user's crying out with a loud voice "JIM-SAN HELP US!" and him being completely overwhelmed with the amount of stuff he's tasked to do.
