Just dont get banned and yu will get easier captchas as your score increases

>all this to call someone a faggot
did they decide to nuke the 4chan app or something by make it more annonying for the remaining 3.5 anons that still visit this shithole for some reason

>>108007786
yes, it's to push pass sales but they also are warring with proxies. the problem is they power trip too much and so people literally need proxies just to be able to post. but it keeps killing the activity on the site lol.

like this is also why it constantly rejects 100% correct captchas now, it's to annoy potential proxies and to try to make you buy a pass. but i would never give these power tripping faggots a dime with how they operate the site.

This is the worst part of the CAPTCHA. Got a user script from pastebin that shows all at once from a thread a few days go, but Ican't find the link.

I don't even understand this at this point. 4chan now in 2026 has so little traffic compared to the past we shouldn't even need the pass at this point. The site probably costs nothing to run because only 5 people post here now.

>Do you actually have any evidence to suggest that traffic has fallen off or is it just vibes?
I've been on 4chan since 2005. You can tell traffic is down (extremely down) because threads last forever and replies are slow. Like, on certain posts I can say something, go to bed, and wake up and still see no reply from someone sometimes. Back in the day that same thread would have hit the post/bump limit and be gone. Heck, even a few years ago it wasn't this bad.

it doesn't filter jeets though. it's a white man filter. why? cause it's tedious. think about it you're spending your energy to solve this shitty star captcha replying to some jeet/shill/bot subhuman answering a questioning or explaining why they're wrong. it's a waste of energy to talk with all the jeet/shils/bots to begin with so any extra sort of burden only makes it worse. white men are a minority in the world so there's very few compared to the 2 billion pajeet+bots+shills so spamming everywhere on this website further decreasing the desire to write anything. even if a pajeet gets it wrong their time and life is worthless so they can just grind on it until they get it right. an actual human's time is valuable though so it's a waste.

i haven't posted in like 3 weeks but i just don't feel like writing to the subhumans on this website if it requires anything but the most minimal effort. i'm only posting this since i saw a thread on another board i wanted to reply to.
