I'd really like to know how many actual individual posters there are on 4chan and what the participation inequality between them looks like. On smaller boards and smaller chans, it's very noticeable how you constantly run into the same couple of posters in certain threads.

One massively overlooked disadvantage of anonymous posting is that it veils the actual size of a given community. A lot of supposed bot activity is probably just caused by a small set of massive autists always typing the same stuff into the same threads over and over again.

I personally can't stand people that namefag or use some other kind of signature that makes them identifiable.
Cause it turns some boards into pseudo-Discord faggotry.
No actually it's worse, because it's the same people, showing up for the same threads to post the same shit over and over again.
Like a retarded version of Groundhog Day.
 
/a/'s Christmas tradition of actual waifu fagging continues:

I wonder how much of 4chan is literal chatbots. So much of the same shit gets posted day in and day out oxer so many years, so many threads with single replies, it's only a handful of the boards that seem to get real traffic.

Its been the same for like 10 years. Still pepe, still wojak, chad versus virgin edits. I don't even think 4chan anymore for memes since its so stagnant and most of that stuff is flooded on the rest of the internet, it not an in-joke anymore.
For more than a decade. A decade. It's not a coincidence that 4chan stopped being relevant as a whole since the internet died in 2014.

when you realize much of 4chan is populated by the mentally ill the repetition makes a lot more sense. Occam's razor and all that.
I don't know, 4chan feels like a potemkin village to me as opposed to a large asylum. You sort the boards by reply count and on the less popular boards you'll find there aren't many conversations going on. And there's things like "Andy Sixx" that disgusting attempt at a forced meme that appeared many years ago on /b/, and is still there in some form literally 24/7 on that dumping ground of a board. There has to be some level of automation involved with that particular ...thing especially because it almost never appears anywhere else. Not to mention /b/ being abandoned like that despite being one of the flagship boards that got 4chan new users and notoriety (or used to).

Or the literal bots that appeared on /pol/ some years ago, where some youtuber created a bot to post on 4chan.

the autism of anons swith specific pet issues seems more genuine in smaller boards but on the fast moving ones, you realize a lot of threads keep getting made again and again with the exact same talking points and replies in a way thats not very spontaneous, like its all in a programmed rotation to keep the narrative going. Its like watching several botnets competing for attention at the same time so not much different than the rest of social media
 
An angry waifufag on /co/ compiled a likely list of current janitorial services. Unsurprisingly one is a depressed troon. Archive 2

Does not surprise me one bit now you know why coomer threads,outrage rageslop threads and discord raid threads which have nothing to do with video games are allowed to stay up up and why that board is so shit. People who blame downfall of 4cuck on X group which arrived at Y year or muh newfags are retards ignoring the main problem which is that 4cuck moderators are mentally ill individuals refusing to properly moderate the website out of malicious intent. You can't do anything once moderation positions get taken over by these people which is who moderates 4cuck.

Is it perifag? If it's him then FYI: a couple of months ago janny deleted his waifufagging, giving him a hateboner for all moderation staff of 4cent LLC. He constantly raids /co/ with pics of his waifu and doxxxxxxxxxxxes of mods, sometimes wiping the entire fucking catalog with this bullshit.
I have a proxy to several random Russian villages in Siberia and most of them are rangebanned with his posts being a stated reason.

I am currently waiting out a DNS level ban on my laptop because according to these deranged fucks if you call out the sitewide problem with uncontrolled coomerism that makes you an underage user even if you are using shit like "t." that no one under the age of 25 even remembers now, 4chan janitors unironically need to have people ding dong ditching them at 3 am irl to ensure they never get comfortable enough to instill this shit.
purge the jannys delete most boards restore /qa/ have only /qa/ /pol/ /g/ /b/ and a new board /cow/ then ban all porn
Also keep the pokemon and mlp boards but add pokemon to GR15 and have the same filtering r9k uses to keep that shit off the other video game boards, tired of that shitty barely-a-RPG series like you wouldn't believe.
 
- thread about some Sailor Moon easter egg in an old computer game from 1997
- immediately devolves into culture war and baiting
- deleted after 80 replies

Is /v/ the worst board at this point? I only browse it a couple of times per month for a few minutes and it's the most asinine garbage every single time, both from the userbase and the moderation.

I unironically think all the anime avatar spergs from Gamergate trooned out and are the anime avatar “uwu dress goes spinny” of today after their autism found a new fixation and that killed /v/
 
You now need to solve a Captcha to get access to another Captcha :lossmanjack:

You also get auto-banned if you enter the link to the 4chan captcha solver into the text field. I think the mod team really fears an increase in bot activity now that generative AI is becoming more and more sophisticated.
