/fit/ has been in decline after 2021, what happened? Why is the board dying?Also we are allowed 1 meta thread
mods & jannies have to post body
Imagine the garbage that was being posted back in 2013
Most boards are dying The era of forum and discussion sites are coming to an end as the Millenials who once browsed here left and Zoomers/Gen A don't have the patience to post here as they need constant gratification from their smartphones or reels
>>77530256This, aliens, robots, etc.
4chan AI bot. Auto-generate text,image, video at the click of a button. New 1 GB filesize limit
>>77530241it only boomed because of fitness influencers posting content. Now that the space has been saturated and producing nothing new, of course its going to go back down. Also its 4chan, this isnt exactly a place that should be popular in the first place. People who spend their entire day on this website are always a bunch of weirdos
>>77530241holy shit i didnt know it was this bad. time i ve been on here was around 2015. looks like them kids are on tiktok and insta only
>>77530241>TikTok became the most popular website in the world in 2021mystery unravelled
>>77530241>what happened?Half the country was under govt-sponsored house arrest in 2020 and 2021, so that’s the uptick in activity. Two, a lot of that higher activity from 2013 onward was influencer and troll spam, plus 2020 also coincided with many zoomers starting to frequent this site to do baby’s first troll postings. Third, and this is a total guess, but a lot of /fit/lennials who came here probably dropped off the fitness wagon or fucked off to parts unknown. The real question is where they went to, maybe Reddit or discord?
>>77530241The grotesque bodies posted in new threads on this board daily contribute i’m sure
>>77530331>The real question is where they went to, maybe Reddit or discord?The real question is who gives a flying fuck? Are you guys all worried 4chan has less traffic
>>77530241young people are on mobile apps. everyone else aged out of this place or simply got tired of the endless low effort/bot posting. the only posters remaining are like:1% semi well-adjusted adults26% mentally unwell people73% ai
>>77530336>are you worried?Yes, this place is my go-to for when I’m taking a post-lunch shit at work. I don’t want to find a new distraction!
>>77530342Less traffic doesnt mean this place disappears. Dont worry, this place will always be a safe haven for the small minority of weirdos
>>77530352the problem is that this small minority of weirdos is retarded and easily manipulated with esoteric bullshit and they tend to relay said bullshit to us. i dont wanna hear it
>>77530355>implying you were always talking to normal people on this weird websiteIm sure all your coworkers and employers would love to know about this website, share it with them
Forum style boards are basically dead, all of 4chan is on the decline like this too it's not just /fit/. Place is heavily over-moderated and I mean how muhc really is there to talk about regarding fitness anymore, there's nothing new. Tons of people grew up and moved on, why would you bother posting here regularly if you had a job, kids, wife, house, friends, etc. I was lucky enough to have a decent life for a while and never touched this place, only came back when it went to shit.
>>77530241Mods/jannies killed all fun threads and people leftA lesser reason is how ubiquitous "post body" has become as a response. It's now used as the first response whenever an anon says literally anything, no matter how generic.>you shouldn't train legs every day>>post body>if you weigh less than 200 lbs, you don't need 200g of protein every day>>post body>you shouldn't suicide cut or do multi-day fasting if you care about your gains>>post body
>>77530393>up and moved on, why would you bother posting here regularly if you had a job, kids, wife, house, friendstrue, when i was married, i didnt even even go online let post anything on 4chan. but thats the thing, as time goes newfags are supposed to lurk and absorb board culture but instead they all act like discord trannies or arent stimulated because of thier social media induced ADHD
>>77530336Nobody is posting about fitness on reddit. It’s all locked and heavily moderated up the ass you can’t even make a post let alone tell someone to seek Canadian healthcare
I would start by banning the absolute worst, most prolific dogshit posters. This board has become really bad mostly because it is full of terribly posts by idiots who do nothing but sit on here all day posting garbage.
>>77530254>squatz n oatz>lower phaget
>>775302412012 was kinda the booming time of the internet, 2021 we got locked up, now the world is just going back to normal that’s all, at least the influence of this board been circulating due to its slangs
This place just isn't fun or funny anymore, they ban anything "off topic". 80% of this board used to be funny gym stories or other semi-related stories to fitness. they were mostly made up, but it was funny and kept the place alive. They killed board culture not just here, but everywhere else by being over-zealous with bans. Why would you even post on 4chan if you can't shitpost?
>>77530401this is literally me
>>77530426These are exactly the type of posters you need to keep this site going lmao. Otherwise you guys run out of shit to talk about. You need the morons to stir up the pot
>>77530441exactly. cross board pollination was what made boards feel accessibly and funny. you could come to fit without even being into fitness and have fun then it would rub on you now. bans were super rare and reserved to worse case scenarios not for fucking offtopic
There has been a constant "fit/4chan is dying" thread up on this board constantly for like 3 years now and its only continued to get worse and if I had to summarize most of the replies its 90%>faggot mods/overmoderationAnd 10%>not enough moderation (probably mods posting)Idk why the gay moderation hasn't been dealt with, the people have spoken, let the fun posting and coom posting back (high test threads etc) faggots ban looksmaxxing threads and dating/relationship threads when those are very closely related to fitness for 95% of people. Do you guys want the whole board to just be /plg/ with 3 posts a day? I'll probably be banned for this postAlso the new captchas (they went through several) and the hack were probably responsible for a big part of the decline. An anonymous posting site probably gets harder and harder to keep out jeet spambots as every year progresses. Also internet usage generally has declined since 2022 as the whole terminally online meme took off, people in general are trying to spend more time outside
>>77530467>people in general are trying to spend more time outsidenah theyre just on their phones now on tiktok, instagram reels or whatever the fuck normies use now
Board started a slow death after Tinytrip left. Coincidence? i think not
>>77530490>programming calf raises
>>77530497>ai slop posterkill yourself
