First we need to ask ourselves why its dead. Then come to terms with that. Afterwards we need to ponder what to do to make it feel less dead. Which we need to accept is an impossibility given the overall state of this place now. So then were back to a feedback loop until we decide to just leave and then return months to years later, when the site feels even more desolate.

>>742977461
Also this. It basically is at the level it was in 2006-2007, the prime years of the site in terms of traffic were 2010-2022 or so.

>traffic down by 50% in the last 5 years
how much longer do we have left?

I try to make one or two quality threads a day, it usually doesn't work so I have to trick anons into participating in good threads

Everyone is leaving for twitter because it's unironically more free speech than 4chan now and you can get paid if you shitpost hard enough

>>742977158
>This entire board is practically dead and you aren't even the least bit concerned about that fact.

No, I'm not concerned. Do you know why? Because even if 4chan dies, I'll be dead one day, and then 4chan won't be dead anymore.
Your fear of 4chan dying is just fear of death in general. Are you afraid of dying, OP?

>>742977668
I said it before in another thread, no one is leaving for twitter. 4chan, twitter, reddit, social media, and other websites are just becoming homogenized and indistugsinable from one another.

By the way, if 4chan is dying then what it this? What is this garbage? I made none of these and they're still there. This thread is 10 minutes old with 16 replies. Everyone on this board is just some whingy fucking woman. I have nothing in common with any of you.

>>742977668

twitter is shit because everyone develops egos and tries to one-up each other. also it's filled with desperate third worlders trying to make a living from shitposting. 4chan's anonymity is better

>>742977543
Grim and true. 4chan is shit now and gets worse with every passing month. The worst part is that there are no other good anonymous sites like this that have a similarly large volume of traffic. The many -chan alternatives are often better in quality and moderation but they're too slow aside from some niche exceptions. With everyone using discord and social media, we might have to accept that this part of internet culture is passing and unrecoverable.

>4chan's anonymity is better

Yeah, I love it. I love not being able to see the names of the brownoids I'm talking to; It makes everything so much better. I left this place for months, came back, and nothing had changed at all. The only real change I witnessed on 4chan was when I left /v/ for years to post on /tv/. When I came back after that, everyone who used to be here was gone.

>>742977958
"4chan is dying" doesn't mean people are leaving to the point that it's a ghost town. It means that the overall quality of discussion and board culture is degrading so that it's not worth engaging with anymore unless you're retarded

>>742977562
the traffic is lower but the quality is way, way worse than it ever was

depends on what you mean by dead. Is general game discussion made by white Americans and Canadians dead? Is coomer and furry posting by 3rd world Europeans, South Americans and Russians dominating the board? Yup. This site not moderating coomers is killing every board

Yeah, I think everyone can agree that post quality is in the gutter, including the faggots responsible for making those low quality posts.

For better or worse we're all anonymous here, so I can never know for sure whether the retard who disagreed with my post was a 70 IQ shitskin, a bipolar feminist cunt, a literal 12-year-old, or a bald furfag tranny sitting on a dragon dildo. If I knew who I was responding to I probably wouldn't bother posting at all.

>>742978736
Yeah. Came back after two years and what the fuck. The board Is far slower but somehow the posts are even more retarded and low effort. How could this shithole get even worse?

I am going to give you a better blackpill. This site is utter fucking trash because the majority of posters are bitter older millennials who never moved on with their lives and the culture of the board is stagnated because all they try to do every day all day is remake the same threads and memes and discussions they have every day. Like imagine your life "peaking" is you make a thread that gets 500 replies and then for the next 10 years you remake it every day hoping to get that attention again. There are so many millennials doing this so much and it's stagnating the board.

>wah wah zoomers and gen A

My point still stands you guys not moving on with your lives and make the same threads and memes over and over from 10 years ago are fucking killing this entire site. The best thing that can happen today is this site goes down and the alt chans get fed and start to grow so we can be separated from millennials.

>>742979493
RapeApe (lead mod, Hiroyuki doesn't do shit) has actively admitted in writing that his goal is to use this site as a psyop testing ground to groom political activists. There's a leaked mod team email from the hack where he straight up says to handle /pol/ shit with "kid gloves" and to never ban it unless it's actively illegal.

>>742979378
The positives of anonymity far outweigh the negatives

That time when 4chan was down for like a week or so made me realize that the reason why I still come back to this place is that every other place sucks ass even harder.

>>742979767
>use this site as a psyop testing ground to groom political activists
I work in politically connected circles and every political staffer under the age of 40 talks like people on here.

>>742979957
They need time to grow. I post on /pw/ and was on an alt /pw/ board during wrestlemania and it was the best thing ever. No old losers spamming the same tired memes or coomer threads or console wars. Just fun discussion. Then when we came back it was business as usual

>>742979652
Nah like everything else the board is shit because life is shit, good times make for good games and good discussions and upbeat anons who make good threads and memes

Yeah. It's dead but it's still a better place to talk about vidya than literally everywhere else

The idea of threads surviving for two days on /v/ especially would've never crossed anyone's mind ten years ago.

>>742980602
there's the sharty, rdrama, or kiwifarms
nothing else is really viable as a 4chan alternative. sites like 8kun or 8moe are dead as shit, and one is full of Q boomers while the other is just full of interracial porn and loli
except the three sites I mentioned as viable don't exactly fill the niche either. the sharty is more like old /b/ than anything else, just constant nonsense and chaos. rdrama is similar except you have to make an account and it's formatted like plebbit. kiwifarms is probably closest to what anons might be looking for but at the same time the quality of posts it wants from you is too high.
and in terms of rules, all 3 are run by puritans.

>>742980950
Remembering how every mobile faggot was shamed and shitposted into not posting or fucking manning up and use the fucking pc or even a laptop. And nowadays 99 percent of 4chan posters are brown and mobileshitters

Your home Wi-Fi got fucked over and now you're posting via mobile aren't you?

>>742981204
Yeah. It won't even let me verify email on my home internet when I try, it just gives me "invalid or expired link".

>>742981202
I remember the last time it was like that was maybe 2018 at best. I would surmise thats also coinciding with the decline of an imageboard culture and webms altogether. Before I had a smartphone I had to wait 8+ hours to post here and didn't care. Now anyone can post, at anytime unabated.

Generals are cancer and should be cleansed from this site. I know this isn't a /v/ specific issue but generals are basically discord servers for people to chat about whatever they want and there is always one or two turbo autists that will spend all day keeping them bumped. We need these people off this site

>>742981097
Ten years ago we were in peak dogshit culture war shitpost era

Meanwhile I remember extremely comfy multi-day threads in ~2010-2011, it was nice being able to post a thread before going to sleep and it still being up tomorrow morning, or being able to check back in a nice thread multiple times over a couple of days instead of having to dedicate a chunk of time to it immediately or missing it

This also let us have cool threads like "open up a game and go take a screenshot of X" which would be unthinkable today

>>742977158
4chan dying means I'd actually have to play video games fuck!!!

>>742981319
that's the only thing giving this site activity still
/vg/ is a glorified discord server yet it's genuinely the board with the highest number of posts per hour
if rapeape were to crack down on this shit he'd lose like half the activity on the site

maybe 50% of the /v/ catalog not being anime and gaming masturbation material could help. Most of you are jeets and have 0 self control so mods need to control that

>>742981421
>that's the only thing giving this site activity still
I don't think we should have activity for the sake of activity just to keep the site alive. If the site dies even retaining its culture than let it die. What are we going to have, up and down voting and accounts everyone has to sign up for just to boost numbers?

If it really comes to it (it won't) I'll just wait for the next big altchan and go there, that will probably result in better quality posts anyways. The biggest problem with this place is ESLs who can't post high quality anything because they just don't comprehend the language.

Tortanic and Gamergate shifted the board culture too much. As a whole, the site has completely flipped into the political far right, with lots of legitimately mentally ill people making everything about politics. Anyone sane (not me, sadly) logged off this shithole like a decade ago.

It's a shame because there really are no other websites where you can just like, leave your thoughts or have a discussion. Up and down vote systems are pretty negative, discord encourages weird cliques, reputation systems, etc. are all bad.
