Plagued 4chan - the Internet hate machine

[Frederica Bernkastel]

is there any explaination why posting has been slowing dying for the last 5 years?

Twitter, Tiktok, Instagram, and the rise of mobile phones. It also does not help many of the older posters are like 30 and 40 years old.

Janitors who melt down over the littlest thing, and boards that are dead outside of one subject like /mu/ and kpop. The only ones who wait down the timer these days are schizos who rather shit up threads. Like others are saying, why use 4chan when you can get your dopamine from social media on your mobile phone?

Speaking of /mu/, it seems that recently the kpop threads have fractured, meaning that every single kpop group now has its own general, filling up half the catalog.

This might seem like an odd topic to bring up but I had to vent.... Does anyone else here browse /int/? If yes, then can someone explain what's the deal with all the fags? Like for a board supposedly for international discussion, the place is gayer than /lgbt/. And they're all so fucking obnoxious holy shit. I unironically mind anti indian racism alot less than all the homos posting gaybait. I know 4chan has always had gays but at least on other boards like /v/ they don't bring it out of nowhere. I am indifferent towards queers irl but /int/ almost makes me wanna go jihadist on them. And they've latched onto some kind of gay white supremacy ("Homophobia is shitskin behavior")

To be fair I think the bottom accurately reflects the 4chan userbase’s real interests.

Cleared my cookies and now I have to wait 15 minutes or go through the hassle of setting up a throwaway email just to make a one line post responding to someone. Lol no.

Yes, they really hate each other. I remember back then even during generation two kpop, you still had fans of groups who hated each other. But no one really made extra threads unless I'm forgetting. I don't get anything post-generation two besides one song.

I was into it when I was very young, but I feel that I aged out of it and knowing what happened behind the scenes didn't help at all.

The active posters anyway. The insane moderation, which has peaked to new heights with the new verification system, has set the site up in a way that only the absolutely committed boardspammers and their counterparts the deranged schizos will engage with it. Sure there will still be a handful of genuine posters on each board, but how many people got filtered immediately by having to give up an email? I'm sure there's still a fair amount of lurkers, but when the barrier to posting is waiting 15 minutes or giving them an email, I think many people will simply continue to lurk and then leave eventually.

That Harley Quinn fart comic came out. /co/ seems pretty disappointed that it wasn't as bad they hoped. I've notice that before on /v/ where the outrage is that there is no outrage.

For some reason I posted this in the reddit thread, so I'll repost it here since it was actually about 4chan:

There is virtually zero difference between reddit and 4cuck nowdays, so you're in the right thread either way

is there any explaination why posting has been slowing dying for the last 5 years?

New boards took traffic away from some niche boards(/asp/) and turned /v/ into de-facto shitpost central as now you're expected to make "serious posts" on one of the new boards. The biggest impact had to be the recent timer and general collapse of quality/moderation the site had over the last 2-3 years however, and I can't blame them. There is zero reason to post on 4chan anymore, it went from being an internet hate machine to being the internet's trash can.

It's sad how bad /v/ has become though. It's still one of the few places to discuss video games, without being bombarded with MSM-tier opinions.

Wonder what the median age for /v/ is now? Wouldn't surprise me if it's something barely over the age limit

 

[Berrakh]

without being bombarded with MSM-tier opinions.

But instead you get bombarded with shallow anti-msm opinions. Which to me reinforces that it’s a place for redditors to vent rather than a place with its own authentic perspective.

/v/ has the same problem every other video game forum has nowadays, and it's zoomoids forming their opinions on games they have never played through youtubers, who fine tune their videos to be as clickbaity and incendiary as possible. So you have guys telling you a beloved classic game they didn't play was akshually overrated because they heard some video essayist say so (they never tell you this is how their formed their opinion by the way), or the opposite, how some reviled piece of shit like Sonic 2006 is a misunderstood diamond in the rough or something.

This was already a problem 10 years ago, were suddenly everyone pretended they could lecture people on a game they didn't play based on they viewing a Spoony video or Sequelitis. Its just way worse now that 4chan stopped being the source or original discussion and its just the trash can were all the social media shit takes end up in.

/mu/ is hilarious, they don't even talk about the kpop music, they just post cheesecake dance shots. 4chan is just a massive psyop
