Is it just me or are threads getting slower and the bait threads (or off topic) threads just tend to get a lot of bot/"schizo" posting? feels like /v/ is dying and nobody is noticing
I just noticed a lot of people on /v/ have trouble reading context or sarcasm. It can't all be bots, right?
>>732167707ye ye (ye)
>>732167707You're not wrong, the boards have been "hollowing out" for years, where human users are leaving but botposts are picking up the slack.
YOU BETTER CHECK YO

>>732167707The number of users has been declining for a while, but that should be seen as a good thing overall. Ignore the obvious shitpost threads, starve them out.
>>732168153but the actual discussion threads die out really fast. we're starting to be like /a/ with generic generals and known schizos
>>732168153It should be a good thing, but the problem is it isn't the mentally ill posters that are leaving
>>732167707Nobody is playing anything any more. /v/ got really lazy. Like it's tiresome to even share stuff here when I can go to an autism discord and there's like 1000 times more focused discussion. I know good players are lurking, just feels like they are posting less and less and threads feel more like tard wrangling than fun discussion. Like you've got people that think they are genuinely "helping" by making a billion bait threads.
this all started after the new captcha. suspicious
>>732167707>keep adding shittier and shittier captchas>moderation encourages political shitflinging and coomspam >1.4 million posts contain the word tranny>AI spam gets worse every dayI wonder why this shithole is dying
Don't worry, this authentic thread made by a human will be pruned by a janny soon enough.
>>732168012I've been called a bot on occasion but always by the absolute stone dumbest motherfuckers you can imagine. It's on track to becoming the next canned insult, hollowed out of all meaning.>>732168330To this day I'm still not sure if banning the threads where people would just stream the games they were playing was a good idea or not. Probably was but I remember having a lot of fun playing the DS Castlevanias and Megaman Zero games and then discussing them in the threads
Hey fellas. I occasionally say hi to anons who are genuine and seem pretty chill. Would you be interested in joining a group I made? It centers around /a/ and /v/ stuff. I felt that genuine conversations on 4chan were getting harder and harder to find, and that's why I made the group. If you're interested, you can take a look here. pastebin com/RFk9GRmH If not, then sorry for annoying you.
>>732168760No
>>732168760see what the fucking bullshit is this?
>>732168604People say that about every meta thread that gets made.
>>732169224That, my friend, is someone shitposting/acting cute by pretending to be a bot. I can tell by some of the pixels, et cetera
>>732167707hasnt v been dead for years at this point? it's all schizoposting these days
>>732167707>feels like /v/ is dyingWhere have you been the past fucking decade?
>>732168754>To this day I'm still not sure if banning the threads where people would just stream the games they were playing was a good idea or notIt is, it leads to drama and nothing is stopping you from making a webm or uploading something to streamable. If you want to see how bad making yourself publicly known on 4chan can get just look at /fgg/. I don't think anything good has ever come from organizing public events on 4chan, even party/v/an is pretty degenerate.I think there is just too much emphasis on forever threads and getting as many (You)s as possible, just say what you want to say and show what you want to show and if the thread only gets 3 replies its whatever. There is so much spam I think people are pressured to make generals.
>>732169361There are still fun threads sometimes. Sparks of life amidst the ever growing void. Ironically, a thread about a chatbot trying to play Pokemon Red was among the most lively and genuine I've seen from this community in a long time.>>732169519I could see it going in that exact direction. But it was fun at first. That's how it always goes.>I think there is just too much emphasis on forever threadsThis is absolutely true.
>>732168510No anon it started when they got rid of the IP counter>>732167707Yes /v/ is dying. honestly I say they should just deal the killing blow and split it up into a gajillion "genre" boards. It did wonders for /vrpg/ which is actually a decent place to talk about vidya, especially vidya that isn't currently trending. I don't think board activity is all that valuable especially when you consider the fact that 90% of traffic is shitposters and general bad actors, like >>732168153 implies less activity -> less retards treating this place a general social media dumping ground -> more passionate vidya discussion>ermm >le vidya discussion hehehekys you're not wanted here
>>732169737>Ironically, a thread about a chatbot trying to play Pokemon Red was among the most lively and genuine I've seen from this community in a long time.You need to fuck off to /vg/.
>>732169862You need to fuck off, period.
>>7321677074chan is mostly bots and schizos posting the same thread and replies every few hours.
>>732169943I've been here since before you were born. Take your AI twitch channel general to /vg/ where it belongs and then rope.
>>732169862
>>732170039The Claude twitch channel general would belong on the third one, though.
>>732167707I think part of the blame is that the quality of internet users has gone down.
>>7321677074chan's population has been permanently down ever since the hack. Every board has been losing users because they simply found somewhere else better to be or just quit entirely because the quality on 4chan is so low now due to the debt of schizos and mentally ill people out number the normal people. When it's all crazy people talking, whats the point in posting normal content?
>>732169862>Ha this thread was good times, /v/ isn't that bad>FUCK YOU! BACK TO /VG/!Does recognizing a thread in the catalog really inspire such a reaction? What would you rather see? Fucking get over yourself.
>>732169976/v/ didn't exist before I was born. And I've been here more than long enough to tell you that underaged posters always accuse others of what they themselves are guilty of. That said, your pointless cynical whining is a perfect example of why this thread is such a soul sucking wasteland of shitposts and retards screaming "tranny shill" at everything, so thank you for providing that.
>>732169830>look at /vrpg/>like 40 bethesda threads>oldest thread is like 120 days old>It's mostly the same shitpost threads that get spammed here every dayI hope to God you don't want /v/ to be like this. Like what the fuck is this >>/vrpg/3899241 why is this a 40 day old thread with 60 replies, it's absolutely deranged
>>732170229>this threadThis board*, I meant to say.
>>732170236Fixed>>>/vrpg/3899241
>>732167707You are saying it like it's a bad thing.I want to get out.
>>732170225>>732170229>uh WOW this is so not wholesome, can't you just let people enjoy things?Yeah man you know what? Let's just flood the catalog with generals for all sorts of AI bullshit. Who needs to talk about vidya when we can form a wholesome cozy uwu community around whatever the fuck we feel like and then try to claim the moral highground when we get told it's off topic? I'm gonna go make a general for my favorite youtuber, you'll be there right?
>>732167707Smoothie time
>>732170086Precisely why I say less is more. I hope traffic dwindles back down to pre-2013 levels and that by some miracle the majority of those remaining speak English fluently.>>732170342>uh WOW this is so not wholesomeI was right about you the first time. Just fuck off.
>>732170236Anon, that poster is obviously a newfag. The creation of the vidya-specific boards has done more harm overall than good. With the only exception being /vst/ which actually has alot of decent discourse.
>>732170236>>732170295>/v/iggers recoil in horror when they discover threads about video games and not softcore porn that gets bumped off the catalog within 15 minutes
>>732170564>I was right about you the first time. Just fuck off.Nah. If you enjoy generals so much why not put them on /vg/? It's the same thread right? Same cozy uwu cuddlecore community right? So keep it there instead of bloating /v/ with AI social media generals, you retarded underaged faggot.
>>732167707Well, we have always had tons of insanely off topic posting that could be immediately be fixed significantly by introducing blue /b/, so there's a vested interest in keeping /v/ shit as possible for some reason.At the moment, current events are making things crazier as they tend to.Epstein files for instance, mostly not vidya.The kotick emails, vidya. Hell to moderate.Moot being in them, site wide meltdown to anyone who still cares, Streisand effect results almost certainly./v/ is dying because they want "gamers" to be controlled because they realize "gamers" includes most of the younger generations at this point.Be a "light" in the "darkness" and keep posting whatever fun shit comes to mind, but dont be surprised when this place finally collapses for real
>>732170236Had lots of fun posting about Avowed on there during my playthrough and some after.You really can tell who actually plays vidya and who is an unironic paid epstein network shill.But even on /v/ it had good threads after the week of paid pedonazi network anti shitposters moved to the next le wokey thing to spam and shit on.
tbf one thing that i'd admit that somehow other people don't is that some /vg/ threads are good. not all but some /vg/ threads have less schizos than the /v/ one at times.
>>732170658I prefer it when the softcore porn hits 600+ replies and then gets purged from page 10.
>>732167707Epstein certainly had a hand in modern 4chan culture and since he was the elite of elites, young niggas who want to feel edgy don't come here anymore and all of the more woke oldheads left because there isn't really much here to yap about.Strangely I think that 4chan improved moderately though, you just gotta find the right threads.
>>732170741>i love trash and people call me retarded for it, it must be a conspiracy!
>>732170658>>>/vrpg/3907199Yeah this needed to be bumped for a month. Clearly this is a quality board and the mod on /vrpg/ has a really nice vision for what he wants to turn /v/ into.
>>732167707Don't look up the site usage statistics pre-hack and post-hack.
>>732170741>Had lots of fun posting about Avowed on thereJesus dude, stay there
>>732170951/vrpg/ mods fucking suck too. power hungry fuckers. if they don't like your post because it's too real (aka calling them out) they'll give you a 3 day off everything
/v/ has been like this for so many years that i barely remember how it used to be in the pre-gamergate era.
>>732170236My Baten Kaitos thread has been up for almost 2 months now, feelsgoodman
>>732170951>>732170923>>732170754>>732170236>>732170295you deserve the board you post on, i better not see any more of these threads crying about how bad threads are nowdays
>>732170743Some games, or rather some genres work for eternal general threads. The vast majority of games and series do not. We could never figure out the difference resulting in the creation of /vg/. I may be in the minority in thinking that the more fractured and segregated into narrow sub-communities this site becomes, the more stagnant and soulless it gets.
>>732171206You like Avowed, your opinion in regards to the quality of anything is worthless.
>>732171049I'm pretty sure the mod is some deranged hamburger helper biofat expatriate. And they are clearly trying really hard to ruin /v/. Like clearly 4chan's problems are it's moderation and someone is actively working to fuck up the place.>When the axe came into the forest, the trees said, 'The handle is one of us'
Guys, I don't know where else to go. Most of the other altchans are dead. And I cannot stomach twitter for more than an hour as the average user is clearly lobotomized by modern Jewish brain conditioning. I'm scared, if this site goes down I'll probably just jump off a bridge.
>>732171206Good post, but you forgot to quote >>732169830
>>732168760hmmm
>>732167751bumping but what the fuck is this, if you do a running joke, people start to post like you're a schizo or something like OH WHY'D YOU POST IT AGAIN????? and then posting a screenshot like it's some sort of gotcha or something.
>>732171371hmmmm
>>732171381Maybe your jokes suck.
>>732171381Post an example of one of your jokes because that is not a common response at all.
>>732167751My guess is that LLMs are actually not used that often because of how often they hallucinate. At best it is just Nigerian/Indian/Some other foreigner looking for a boomer mark.
>>732167707I only bother with bug and robot threads
>>732170223Don't forget, you're here forever. Everywhere else is worse.
>>732171480>>732171561oh trust me you know the types, like if you joke about liking ffxv and hating other ff games and then the final faggots start screenshotting shit and reposting shit acting hysterical.
>>732171381That reminds me of the time I used the same reaction image like 5 times within the time frame of like a week and on the 6th some retarded posted an archive screenshot of all my posts with the image trying to imply I was some sort of schizo, I wonder what goes through those people's heads
Fucking years of every real poster yelling how /pol/ is ruining the site and never gets moderated while flodding every other board like roaches.Finally we know without doubt that this was on purpose by the entire epstein banon neonazi RETARD frogposter pedos.Did not just ruin this board and site but the entire internet. You can not recover from this and pretend to not know.The only chance at /v/ getting better again is when all the pedophile nazo billionaire heads roll bloodied through the streets with people celebrating.
>>732167707The new captcha is filtering out low IQ retards
Guys! I think the internet might be memes and porn. Can't confirm it right now, but I have a strong suspicion. In other news, the internet remains serious business, and it's only getting srser
>>732171637>ffxvI don't play mmos, but I imagine such neurotic behaviour is just part and parcel within it's playerbase. That doesn't happen in threads about real videogames.
I miss when people would post random games and they would become fotm for a bit. don't think that can happen these days without getting pushed off into /vg/ and getting buried there
The average /meta/ thread would have been deleted by now. Is it because of the OP picture? Or is a janny betwixt us, protecting us?
>>732171824>ffxv>I don't play mmos,is this a bot post>>732171906now it's tiktok games forcing fotm and then /v/tards post about them here>nanaoposting
>>732171809This
>>732171292i'm pretty sure if this place died most altchans would see a spike in usage like when the hack happenedregardless, would finally be some time to dedicate to playing games
>>732171194I made a post in your thread about a month ago, it's cozy but anemic. but that's more of a board problem than baten kaitos
>>732171809We get porn but we dont even get memes anymore
>>732170980Oh no, we have less bots! The horror!
>>732167707I seems normal to me.
if 4chan wants to come back to being culturally relevant again, it would need to have different politics than what you could easily find on twitter
>>732172023I don't mind it all that much I'm used to slower paced threadsShould probably dump more rips though just been lacking answers to a few posters while trying to playthrough the remaster myself
>>732172137>implying it's the bots that left
>>732172321sauce
>>732172315>We totally need more /pol/ shitNo, we need people that are actually genuine about their fucking hobbies instead of hiding behind 7 layers of irony.
>>732172379It was, which is why youre noticing a drop. You dont really think that a huge amount of people left 4chinz for some slow as fuck chan, do you? Youre here forever.
>>732172315This is why I act really, REALLY gay
>>732172424Wyssp_art
>>732172583Different anon but my main altchan has gotten noticeably worse since the hack sent a bunch of 4chan migrants there and they just act like they're on 4chan. I agree they're just a tiny minority though.
>>732172583I don't think they all left to altchans (though some on specific boards like /vg/ and the vtumors did last I saw/heard), I just think they largely just fucked off. Unless those bots were magically capable of carrying on niche conversations about shit I specifically like, it still feels like a good chunk of people took the chance to fuck off for good when the site was down.
I would like to see posts/hour changes in relation to captcha changesbecause surely when you have to select three shits and it only tells you if you got one wrong at th end, that's gotta count for something? there's gotta be some posts where he poster thinks "fuck this, wasnt a good post anyway"
>>732172840You dont just simply fuck off from a chan all together. We're here because to some extent, we all value being anon and just saying whatever the fuck we feel like. You cant call someone a faggot cocksucker on reddit or any other dogshit faggot forum.Like the rate of people actually quitting chans altogether is probably less than 3% of all users that have stayed longer than a year.
>>732173205It might really be bots. They all fucked off to twitter because of how little influence 4chan has on greater internet meme culture and it's quite hard to monetize being an anon anyways (Which makes it harder to use subtle patreon bribes)
>>732172840I'm still here
>>732173205>You dont just simply fuck off from a chan all together.I'd believe that if my experiences here since the hack didn't say otherwise. It's not like everyone is fucking gone, but you will never get me to believe that they were all somehow bots.
>>732173526Maybe some of them werent, but the vast majority were bots I reckon.
>>732167707jannies are the ones shitting up threads a lot of the time, which is why they hand out vacations (yes I know it goes to a mod, but they rubberstamp) to people replying to them but continue to spam a thread uninterrupted for hours until it archives I don't even bother to circumvent the vacations any more. After 20 years I feel like my time here is coming to an end because every month there are less and less good threads about games and I don't want to talk about twitter shit
https://discord.gg/pingas
>>732171908Haze is .... STRONG
>>732173205>You dont just simply fuck off from a chan all together.People just moved to twitter. When all people do here is post twitter screencaps just to discuss it here, obviously posters here are gonna move to twitter where its more interesting.
>>732168104Almost forgot to check my exoskeloteen
>>732173526My favorite artist was still here when I decided to return only reason I've stuck around
>>732174557You cant actually discuss shit on Xitter. Maybe you can call people a faggot retard now that Musk Autist is in charge? I dont know, I dont bother with social media
>>732174676You can say nigger there whereas you get banned for saying it here.
>>732173974>jannies are the ones shitting up threads a lot of the timeThought I was the only one who caught onto this sometimes it so obvious it's funny
>>732174676>I dont bother with social mediaAs well you shouldn't. Even more cancerous than namefaggotry. The shittiness of this board is directly tied to the number of twitter gossip e-celeb and youtuber threads getting posted
>>732174676To be fair, can you discuss shit hereSometimes I find a good thread but a lot of the time if you write a longer post then you'll just get a shitpost in return or one of those autists that goes through your post point by point to go "doesn't count"
>>732167707The speed isn't the problem. /v/ is a hollow corpse. 0 OC, 0 discussion that actually originates here. The main culprits are the moderation, just a slow and steady process of deleting good threads while allowing trash to archive normally. All you can do is repost maymays from 10 years ago.
>>732174859doesn't count
>>732174676>dont bother with social media>say it here on 4chan, a social media sitewhat irony.
>>732174949
>>732174808there's two options: either they let specific pet anons ruin threads day in and day out and ban people who argue with them or they themselves are that person, and the first option doesn't make any sense at all.I saw one brag about how he 'epic baited' someone into an argument and a vacation and then proceeded to spam the thread until it died while the other anon was indeed banned. You'll never convince me it's not them now
>>732174859>To be fair, can you discuss shit hereNo you can't.>Sometimes I find a good thread We both know that's not true.>but a lot of the time if you write a longer post then you'll just get a shitpost in returnWrite a quality post then.>or one of those autists that goes through your post point by point to go "doesn't countMy post doesn't count by the way as I went easy on you.
>>732174971We're different. We hate women and post loli.
Third worlders and zoomers literally do not know how to shitpost. It makes every thread routine and boring. The heart and soul of shitposting and trolling is apathy. You are selective, you curate your opportunities. You don’t post the same faggot shit every single day and endlessly reply to one specific fag that makes you mad for an entire thread to le epic get le last word in like an obsessive femoid or weepy drunkard. It’s insanely boring. So many threads and topics have some dedicated schizo and guess what, they are all the same.
>>732175176>for an entire thread to le epic get le last word inholy shit, this. Every single fucking thread
>>7321751754chan is quite literally the only social media where you can't post loli.
Did we get results from the /v/GAs yet?
>>732175175Bro there's a lot more of that on twitter than /v/ nowadays
>>732175387>Im a newfaggot retardWeve had mods banned in the past for trying to stop us from posting loli. This was just the other day >>>/a/285587868
>>732175387You think just because I don't use twitter or go on any other forums that you can fool me. Well, you're right.
what's with /v/ being the biggest contrarian ever.>go into a thread >OP says I like game, everyone suddenly hates on game. >OP says i'm playing x game, everyone goes NOOOO YOU SHOULD BE PLAYING THIS INSTEADlike jesus fuck the autism of some of you guys gets really frustrating at times.
>>732175717>Weve had mods banned in the past for trying to stop us from posting loli.In this house accelspammer is a hero, end of story
>>732174759>You can say nigger there whereas you get banned for saying it here.No you dont lol. You get maybe 1 menstruating mod that power trips every now and then, but you can say whatever the fuck you want 99.9999999% of the time here.But youve intrigued me, post a few examples of twitter users calling each other a nigger and not getting banned for it.
>open 15 normal vidya threads>maybe collectively get like 10 new posts over the course of an hoursaw a 6 day old thread the other night
>>732175817Never forget
>>732175824they added a filter last year on 4chan that made it so that you cant say nigger more than a few times in a post.
>>732175975>makes shit up>get called on it>backpedals and makes more shit up>refuses to post any links of twitter users calling each other niggers and not getting banned for itAre you actually trying to shill twitter, lmao?
>>732175860This means the new captcha is working
>>732174859I mean, Ive been having better conversations here the last month and have noticed a drop in few word reply shitposts
It’s all porn
>>732176229Good
>>732176207>better conversations here the last monthIn game threads, or culture war threads disguised as game threads?
>>732176254
>>732176285Game threads. Im tired of /v/pol. That said, so much has been going on with /pol/shit that the uual shit stirrers are probably all on /pol/
To be purely selfish pilled what benefit do you even get from being an archetypical 4chan dwelling turbo chud anyways. You are either associated with dumb retarded zoomers with brocolli heads, dumber boomers that are spooked out by virtually everything or millennial/gen xers who piss their pants over their marvel slop movies having woke shit in it. You don't even get a house or free shit from it either unlike say being a commie and everything is expensive and women also don't want to fuck you either.
>make a thread about video games that won't get derailed into /pol9kxedditblr/>immediately get told "go to /vg/"
>>732167707Its not just /v/ its the whole site. Threads on /b/ can now last as long as 2-3 days depending on the topic. This would have been crazy to see back during the peak popularity days of 4chan. The board is nothing but porn, shit log, socials, and just bot spam all day long. That genuine random funny feel you would get from old /b/ has been dead for awhile. And the site itself as a whole hasn't really been all that good for many years.The leaks seem to be proving that /pol/ very well did seem to destroy this website over time. It just took many years for enough anons to finally notice.
