ISPs blocking it will mostly work, I think. Most people can't be bothered with a VPN so if 4chan is inaccessible they'll just read/watch something else instead.
they were teenagers in 2018. now they're 30-somethings with enough disposable income and basic technical skills to download a PIA or NordVPN app to their phone.
I wouldn't put it past them, they've already ran tv news pieces (or maybe it was an ad, I don't watch tv, let alone British tv) basically saying that if you use a VPN, that you're not thinking of the children.

Seems likely. And then that won't work, and they'll tell ISPs to block VPN traffic too.

In the days following the enforcement of age verification legislation, VPNs were trending in the UK app store charts, above age verification apps.
Even today NordVPN is in the #5 spot, above Uber and Google.
Elon needs to release Starlink Freedom Edition. He should've bought 4chan rather than Twitter too lol.
I think you can't post on 4chan if you're using a VPN.
you can if you buy a 4chan pass with crypto
That will make blocking it fairly effective, at least if 4chan's demographic is as I remember it to be (teenagers etc).

I think you severely underestimate the tech savviness and community-seeking of 4chan users. They'll figure it out.
