I commented in another thread about the "4chan users don't buy anything/aren't monetizable" problem[1], but while I used neither service, I don't think that 4chan users were a signficiant userbase of either Canvas or DrawQuest. Those services didn't really appeal to the average 4chan user at all. I think this was a deliberate decision to keep 4chan users from scaring the rest of the internet away, but I'm not sure it was the right one to make, because it's essentially throwing away the power of moot's name amongst a large and influential audience.
The real challenge would be coming up with a startup that could benefit from an early infusion of curious 4chan users without being "poisoned" by it. Probably one with less of a community focus, which is unfortunate for moot, since that seems to be what he likes working on the most.
