I have been diving into these anonymous boards and stuff. I wanted to know if anyone use it for any actual purposes like for getting some tech knowledge or something?

From what I heard, there was more going on initially. It's just that that's what tends to collect in totally unmoderated spaces, and 4chan fell victim to it.

No, as someone who dabbled in it very early on (like 2008) it has always been that way. Maybe the full on Nazi stuff was a bit later, but it was always filled with blatant racism.

Alright, duly noted.
