To quote an anon from the 4chan happenings general

4chan has been in a weird stasis for a decade now, good in the sense that it keeps the same structure of the site intact but because of this it is unable to adapt properly to new issues and keep the culture alive. Nothing lasts forever but if you leave it alone it's just going to deteriorate over time. The cold approach from the mods/admins and general lack of interactions with them has definitely added to the problem.
