One thing we're all experts at by now is knowing the gameplan and how the glowies/jannies think, and what their next moves are likely to be. This is something you can't teach, you have to learn it through experience. There comes a point where you don't actually need hard evidence, you can just sit back, game theory it for a bit and then say, "Ahhh, I see what you're doing."
This is the moment when you start disregarding peer-reviewed bullshit, and go by the GOLD, PREMIUM standard of evidence: experience and intuition/guts. When you live your life guided by experience, you can spot, categorize and recognize everything
"psyop, scam, scam, rugpull, psyop, trash, bullshit" without even flinching. You don't need to slow your momentum just to explain to a clueless neophyte what the game is, let him learn by himself

As much as I did like cleaning the catalogue I also liked to see what was being pushed and spammed
Once you have been diamond diving in septic tanks long enough it becomes natural to find the one or two worthy threads(which were missed by filter fags just because the word "what" was used in the title)
Eventually you get so good at it you can find diamonds in slop threads where anons completely ignore the OP topic and bant about real shit, this usually got the thread 404'd or sent to /bant/ to die because the bots weren't trained to deal with off-topic and it was easier to recognize real anons in those conditions.

figuring out what they were using 4chan for and what the character of any psyops/current thing was.

The easiest way to figure out what was really happening was to study what the shills/bots were spamming and then work your way backward. I don't think they ever considered that because they were too busy drilling demoralization threads to come to the realization that they were accidentally helping us. Or perhaps they figured they could just drown us with noise, but that didn't work either.
 
anons completely ignore the OP topic and bant about real shit
I noticed this started becoming real frequent by organic anons starting around 2023
It's like the organic users silently came to an agreement that we couldnt stop the never ending slopshit but we can brute force organic discussion in obvious slide threads
In late 2024 is when the jannies caught on to it and started just outright deleting threads that shills lost control of

For the last year or so I just used 4plebs/desuarchive (because 4chan would block my VPN) so I could see the real content that was getting instantly deleted or hidden. Going to /k/ was crazy because sometimes half the thread would be deleted because some janny tranny was triggered by a pro-Russian poster.

I found with 4chan-x I ended up blocking 90% of the site at one point with my filters which made browsing there with it pointless.
 
stop acting like you're not an /r/4chan refugee
LOL. You're not very good at hiding projection.

Easter isn't a real holiday.
Last year it is March 31, this year it's April 20th.
Who tf is deciding these dates? The pope? Where's all the protestants to complain about the pope moving their holiday around.
As far as I'm concerned if you don't happen on the same day every year you ain't a holiday. You're a comic con convention, an event.

a lot of them were fun
 
It made a difference, it instantly told you if the thread was just a bunch of people just giving one post replies and leaving, with no inter-discussion between anons. It also gave clues if someone was samefagging the thread like a fucking mental ill retard (which there were many). I absolutely noticed when they removed it, thought it was a real scummy move because I know what the mindset was, what the purpose was. IP count wasn't removed for the admin side. They just removed OUR ability to see it.

Why do you think they removed it? if it's such a minor issue, why remove it?
It made no difference. You couldn't tell if a thread was 1 person or 100 because phone posters can hop IPs easily. Bots can use different IPs or Indians with a wall of smart phones can jump in and out of a thread.

It was most likely removed because people like yourself were using it to justify internet arguments and derailing threads based on an inaccurate number that was irrelevant. A thread worth reading wrote by 1 Anon would be worth reading if it was written by 100. The quality of the content is not defined by the number of users creating it. And if you're looking to argue with someone based on an IP counter than you weren't adding anything to the thread.
 
Just make sure you don't get too much magnesium, follow the daily intake.
Regularly it's been off by x100 in either direction. There's no substitute for using your own brain in matters that concern (You), faggot. Just take in a few reference measures (historical and cross-country DRI's; LD-50's etc.), start with underdosing, have an accurate scale, and taper on or only test occasionally, rather than force a daily schedule.
the problems you'll face aren't serious enough to merit needing something like chelation therapy
Maybe an uppity paywhore in a white suit doesn't "merit" more than the worst dregs of society as their clientelle.
I'm not volunteering for the job of putting them in their place when they refuse to render basic, sane and correct medical services. I'd much rather fire them if they haven't proven their worth yet.
I think the side effects with chelation therapy may explain why it's not something you really want to use on a kid, especially if their lead exposure isn't going to cripple them. Some chelation agents are even cytotoxic(really bad for your cells) if I remember correctly.
I mean, you derailed to complex, synthetic chelators - which are perfectly affordable on the open market BTW. - and drew conclusions from that within one post, so that's a strawman to defend doctors who work for money as their foundational incentive. I don't particularly care for complex chelating agents because they sound like a PITA to dose and, as you said, have nasty side-effects. Which is why I'm interested in food-safe de-facto chelators such as magnesium citrate and active carbon.

sharty is gonna get raped unless the administration on the website does something to distance themselves from that autistic attack. Best guess is the FBI is already investigating because they need 4chan to data harvest with their bots, israelis, and indians on VPNs
Hiro has a history of not taking people attacking his sites lying down. He's a millionaire and has money tied up in 4chan (a couple of paid staff, 4chan passes, advertisers, and employees of his company Mirai Kensaku Brazil are involved in the running of 4chan too). It might not appear that he cares about the day-to-day running of 4chan, but he cares about the finances and 4chan Community Support LLC. I would be surprised if he doesn't take action of some kind.
 
I wonder what all the mentally ill posters that I encountered in /pol/, /his/ or others are doing now. I mention /his/ because it was unusable, it was camped by the same 3-4 third worlders larping as europeans and insulting each other. There were a lot of degens I despised on /pol/, some others were acceptable. I recently saw the magyar cygany spammer in the sharty, some people truly have dedication.
 
If you want a crazy conspiracy theory, I saw someone point out that 4chan suspiciously got "hacked" around the time USA AID's massive funding was cut. Coincidence? Maybe.

But if the theory of 4chan being a government honeypot and surveillance tool is true, it would explain why it suddenly got hacked as if someone pulled the plug. It would also explain why it only just got hacked, despite being so badly maintained that any decent hacker could've done this years ago.

But Occam's razor just points to 4chan admins being incompetent and the admin simply angering the sort of people – their own users – who would care to do this.
