What is going on on 4chan?

Jannies on 4chan have been weirder than usual lately. /qa/ got shut down in November and some boards seem to be really cracking down on anything even remotely off-topic (aka fun). Are there any 4chan jannies here who would like to explain the sudden change on the site and what is happening behind the scenes?

Here are a few things I've noticed:

/tg/ seems to have declared a ban on all internet memes, such as Pepe, Apu or Baalbuddy, even when they are relevant to what is being discussed (ie Wizard Pepe on a thread about Wizards).

Sometimes threads on /tv/ about the reality show "I Am Jazz" get deleted but sometimes they are left up. When they are left up they tend to be the most popular threads on the board.

/co/ seems to delete threads about webcomics (normal webcomics, not stuff like Stonetoss or Assigned Male) for no reason.

Is there some sort of weird civil war going on between Funposter Jannies and Anti-Fun Jannies?

You can only find the most dysfunctional terminally-online nutjobs to moderate a place like 4chan for free, and that shows in what content gets axed or promoted.
The nsfw boards have been overwhelmed with tranny spam and asian kids spamming BBC for years now. The sfw equivalent just manages to be less obvious.

Tranny Jannies have no oversight anymore so are free to run rampant and slap threads that hurt their feels. This is why moderation is vastly different throughout the day and mostly unmoderated when America is asleep.

Also the eternal tourists have set up shop and the discord raids

I tried posting there a while back. That new captcha is so awful that I refuse to deal with that shit. They should be rewarding people who still bother to post there, not making it difficult as fuck. I know spam and bots are a problem but there has to be a better way than whatever that is.

Homey, there's a constant battle in almost every culture between fun and anti-fun, because passionate people make a thing popular, then the bugmen join in b/c they want to be relevant, not because they actually care. The bugmen then grasp for control and draw in corporate interests through mindless consumption, causing the people who made a thing popular to begin with to leave until the thing is an empty husk and the bugmen abandon it to infest whatever new thing passionate people have made popular.

Impotent retards heard stories of anonymous and the legendary 4chan raids that would cripple major companies, so they latched on and now the site is filled with the mindless and the power obsessed. I'm not even a 4chan user and I know that's the case, because that's how things work.

I think 4chan is in a time where the majority of the userbase is now older zoomers. A slow cultural shift I guess, plus older jannies retiring and having more trannies who are very much anti-fun.
but that's just a theory.

Most likely. A lot of boards are full of troons now so any post that talks shit about them are going to get removed.

That still exists, huh? I guess it's a suicide watch.

What's really killed the site for me is if you have a question you want to ask, do you go the board dedicated to the topic the question relates to? No silly, you go to requests where it will be ignored.
