What are the political consequences of the death of 4chan? Do you even genuinely try to engage in discussion anymore or you feel the rot taking over?

I just come here to hate on the glowniggers.
>>
>>540752213
I don't bother having discussions on this board anymore. Literally the same repetitve talking points repeated over and over again. You can easily predict the kinds of replies a thread is going to have now. It's just boring.

I'll add "rot" to the list of euphemisms for jews.

You know its bad when you go on /v/ and there are 3 days old threads still up

4chan has suffered many blows over the years but the most mortal blow of all is its discovery by shit eaters and the popularization of llms

I randomly get shit like "your ip range has been blocked due to abuse please create an account to bypass this".

Creating an account on an anonymous website defeats the perfect of having an anonymous website.

The Internet as a whole is dying, YouTube has become almost completely unusable. Yeah the the rot is everywhere both online and in the real world.
I still try to converse here a bit but it's clear the place is saturated by shit and instead I've increasingly spent more of my life off the Internet and spread my influence offline (which it's clear real life is a bit empty too because a lot of people just rot in their rooms for work at home or are tied to the Internet)
>>
>>540752692
I don't see how that makes sense. The platform functions completely different from an anon board. You start up a new account and you're basically talking to bots, if you get any engagement at all. My theory is people are just checking out from actively engaging on the internet entirely and have become passive consumers of rigidly catered non-AI slop content.
>>
>>540752213
Zoom out. Its actually worse than that.
>>
>>540752213
I still cant post on my pc, only on phone. Fuck this nigger website.
>>
>>540752803
Probably doesn't explain all of it, but X has definitely taken a chunk of active users. I only started using after getting banned for bullshit jannies and its edgier than /pol/ some times. Plus videos with goddamn sound.

Posting has dropped off because no one wants to spend their valuable free time arguing with bad faith actors like shills/kikes/Eglin/jeets. Plus the captchas are designed to make posting a hassle. The catalogue is full of bots posting garbage like twitter screen shots and retarded e-celeb threads which lowers engagement as well.

>>540752213
Its 1,0000 times more boring here. But its a good thing. Because when /poll used to be engaging, interesting, and hilarious, I would spend hours a day here, every single day. Now, since its so boring and the posters are so shallow and truly stupid, and the majority aren't worth interacting with, I feel free. I have checked back into real life, again.

But who is making it boring on purpose? It wouldn't be the website owners. That would defeat their purpose, wouldn't it?

The benefit of the sekret club was better post quality. Now post quality is bad AND activity is also low.

I just shit post now. I used to have real debates/conversation but this place is so overrun now that it's just not worth trying anymore. This is the first genuine post I've posted in months

>nooooooooooooo, you can't say anything bad about MAGA

Fuck you. You are literally the reason this board went from shit to shitter when Trumpist retards flooded this place. A reminder that your hero was cool in 2015-16. Anyone with brains dropped him a long time ago.

4chins userbase is aging and we are hardly getting new blood.

Zoomers aren't interested on 4chins, it's for uncs

Why would zoomers and younger generations post here when they have discord, twatter(now aka the second coming of /pol/), plebbit, instagram, tiktok, fagbook, jewtube?
The site design, captcha, post timers, file limitations and moderation are zoomer repellents... almost as if this site is the remnants of a bygone internet era.
In a way, gatekeepers won, 4chan is gatekept so hard it doesn't get any new people.

It's mostly this, though jannies and mods should be blamed too for being stupid incompetent faggots.

Hard to say what will be or 4chan though, but we will probably find out before the end of the decade.
>>
>>540752213
AI is literally killing 4chan.

Instead of coming here, going to /v/, and saying "Do you think Ghouls need to drink water to survive?" I can ask an AI. And then we just talk about whatever sparks off of that opening.

I eventually had to do it because they blocked my address range, and captchas aren't bad after you do that

Using this place has always been like wading through a sea of piss in search of nuggets of gold and even now despite the best attempts of glowies that gold keeps shining through.

bro you sound just like reddit and you somehow don't even know it? people like you turned this website into shit. if i wanted to hear losers whine about drumph and miggers and cultists 24/7, i would just goto reddit. there's no point in coming here.
>>
>>540753575
Good for you, anon. Good luck and well wishes to you both.
>>
>>540753849
Try looking up any current event and see what Google recommends. The video recommendations is entirely poojeet channels that post 100 videos a day, each. Imagine all the cost as well of hosting all that slop.
>>
>>540753901
Muh reddit. It's you who came here from reddit, not me.
>there's no point in coming here.
So stop coming here. Go to your MAGA safe space. They won't allow "losers" and "leftists" who don't worship Trump. Your feelings will be wrapped in cotton wool.
>>
>>540753727
Those are good points about userbase and gatekeeping. 4chan does not come up in any search engines that I tried. Then you have younger generations. Imagine a zoomer trying to read a wall of text about Jews and Central Banking when he could go back to flipping between dancing tiktok trannies and street racing like a stupid fish with a 40 second memory.

I really hope the end is soon. The younger generations are being dumbed down and when we are gone they will have no clue what happened or who did it.

>>540754331
k, well if you're wondering why the site is completely dead in the future, just look in a mirror
>>
>>540752213
There are no discussions on this.platform its just reddit bots spamming reddit content. Organic threads get saved.

So that the paid posts can stay up and appear legit and the top 100 posts in the fake threads are all bots.

This site is as fake and gay as reddit

>Do you even genuinely try to engage in discussion anymore or you feel the rot taking over?
It's incredibly dead compared to what it used to be. 2016-2020 you would have seen threads like this cap out within 1-2 hours. Now we're 1hr 30m after posting and sitting at 48 replies. The captcha is unironically a big part of it. It definitely wasn't worth the spam reduction, especially when this site was seeing tough competition from X. The user experience of the captcha is also awful on mobile devices, where most of the internet happens nowadays.
