What has made you unwatch a thread?

The only threads I watch are the ones I make, and I unwatch them a week after the last reply.
Every other thread that I have an interest in, I just keep an eye on by visiting them every now and again, and whenever one of my posts gets a reply.
 
When it just stops being interesting or fun.

MovieBob was the first cow I watched intently, but it got to the point where his combination of cringe stupidity and fascistic political diatribes made me so MATI that I just had to unwatch the thread and walk away. And knowing what I know about MovieBob, I that means that I'm not missing out on anything particularly new or interesting.

When a thread starts moving superfast because of rapidfire happenings over a few days (rekieta thread, bossmanjack, chris arrest arc), it winds up featured or otherwise gains a ton of new posters, and then the happenings abruptly stop. Whenever this happens you wind up getting the new people generating a ton of zero-content noise: digging for scraps, rehashing the 20+ pages before the big happening repeatedly plus posting all sorts of dumb speculation on the event/person from twitter. I just unsub until the event blows over because any major happenings will get posted in the current events thread.
 
Thread becomes too active, I like smaller cows with worthwhile updates instead of saying the same 5 memes over and over again. That's why I stopped looking at Cobra despite him being my favorite of all time for years.
Samantha Violet Bushart used to be my favorite cow until this very thing happened, not helping were the Beauty Parlor ideologues (and retards) absolutely bogging down the thread. I just hate the culture of it now.

A couple years back, a lady in there caught a lot of backlash for telling everyone she sent a knife to one of the adjacent cows as gift. Another girl catfished him and convinced him to send nudes, which she shared in the thread. I don't remember her being truly reprimanded for it.

The dude was deemed "the good guy" by the thread for so long and it pure lunacy, so much so that a tiny fanclub formed around him, memeing him to the point where that dumb bitch felt comfortable bragging about sending him a weapon through the mail.

Well, he ended up beating and raping a girl because he's a violent tard, and anyone with a hint of sense could see it clear as day. The desire to prop up villains and heroes in a story of a bunch of oversharing idiots led to some eye-rolling discourse.

I fucking hate when girls exclusively swarm onto cows I like. It devolves into an a-logging nightmare and/or worship with almost no fun inbetween. It's like we can't help but emulate the stupidest of Reddit and Facebook communities.
 
- Nonstop alogging
- Blatant sticker farming
- Niggers who don’t read the thread but rush in to share their scorching hot takes and then get butthurt when they get called out
- Repeated and deliberate derails
- No new updates so everyone just rehashes the same old shit over and over
 
When it goes from cow-watching to politisperging and develops its own bizarre thread culture around that.

So the Lazerpig thread most recently for me. I followed this clowns antics before he even had a thread here but now his thread on KF is 90% military autists having circa 2000s Fox News Boomer tier spats about politics between bitching about the exact measurements of a T-80s gunbarrel.
 
I was going to make a thread complaining about the state of the internet but found this and figured it was easier to post here than create another shitty OP in Gen.

The thing that makes me unfollow a thread or cow is not the cow or content but the community that follows them
There are two things that really turn me off from a cow/thread

#1 The community devolving into moral puritanism where the responses and replies to content are nothing but "omg gross wow I'm so morally superior to this person ahaha isn't it funny how they're moral failures! ahahah I would NEVER do this" no shit faggot that's why they have a thread and you don't.
I hate this because it's just upcummie farming, begging for those semper fis and agree stickies and it's so fucking gay.

#2 when a thread/subject/cow gets popular enough that catchphrases or other repetitive bullshit become the majority of the contributions to the thread.

#3 when a thread gets big and then new people start flooding in and the culture of the thread and it's no longer fun to engage with the content.

It's cringe inducing watching people act more faggy than the subject of a thread. I don't know why so many people beg for ass pats by reminding the entire site that they are, in fact, morally superior to a furfag with an inflation fetish, or a schizophrenic, or a dog-fingering tranny pedophile.

I stop following threads when the community around the thread becomes a parody of itself, and it's no longer fun to participate with a bunch of retarded faggots.
