Let's be honest, there are are a lot of threads that are not of the highest quality (I will not name any)
Factor in people moving on from video games, moving on from this website, and the state of AAA gaming right now, and you have less people interested in using /v/

Because this website has been on the decline for a verry long time. It's taken blow after blow without and kind of serious intervention or attempt at recovery.
It's currently infested with third worlders of all variety who treat every single board as a pseduo-porn board.

The janitors are completely neutered, dull and lifeless who prune interesting/amusing shit in favor of having the 10 millionth gacha/not-porn/twitter/outrage thread

Effort posting is completely shunned and ignored now, conversations never last beyond a single post or two, and you get 50 replies to very obvious bait and faggy shit
Basically it's eternal summer. Everyone who uses this website is a newfag forever now, because 75% of the population only started using 4chan in the last 5-10 years, and now 4chan has no culture anymore. No funny raids. No vidya tournaments. No influencing, no more meetups. Just a bunch of really sad, lonely people who are unironic incels/nazis/pedos.

This thread will get deleted too because the 1 thing the jannies hate more than anything is any thread calling out the dogshit state of this website in an attempt to diagnose the problem

I wish more people didn't feel like posting. The board is full of threads and posts that I didn't make. People who think /v/ is slow must have legitimate ADHD, because to me, it still looks like a toilet being sprayed with diarrhoea.

the last time I had fun with /v/ was around the time Mario Royale and SCPSL were the FOTMs but then their threads started getting deleted/autosaged for whatever gay reason despite only being around for a couple weeks
so no fun allowed, only state-approved content, posting is a privilege, etc. etc.
the mods did this to themselves and they deserve to fade into dust with the rot they've helped cultivate

Unironically zoomers and bots ruined this site. There was actually something resembling game discussion here pre-2018, but not it’s just endless goon bait, rage bait, and shit posting by people who don’t even play games or bots spamming data mining and engagement threads. What’s sad is I can’t even tell the difference between zoomers and bots now when they post online, they both have the same pre canned, safe-edgy takes.

I would never make a thread; I only do that when I'm in good company. I think the last thread I made was years ago on /tv/, and I left that place, so that's how good it is now.
Making a thread would be like opening a business in a poor neighbourhood. If the neighbourhood has crazy niggers, why would you be exempt from their presence? You wouldn't, and they would visit if they wanted to.

The actual answer is that ever since Musk took over Twitter and increased free speech on there some, there's less reason for the "election tourists" to stay here and now the site is dead. I wish old school kino would come back as a replacement, but instead it just seems like it's mostly unfunny shitposters and third worlders left. And now a bunch of gays larping as femboys for some reason.

>Why is /v/ so fucking slow now?
Moderation staff gives literally zero fucks about the site, and their high time preference makes them unable to foresee the longterm consequences of not banning the most active shitposters because it would cause a momentary hit in engagement. So the site is dying, because the more functional people leave, the larger the proportion of severe mental illness, and the larger the proportion of severe mental illness, the more people leave as discussion of any topic grows increasingly impossible. The patients are running the asylum, and all that's left is to wait for the site to die.

Fitting, I guess.

The real answer is that the redone captcha system pissed a ton of people off so a lot stopped attempting to post here and even if you manage to the mods have been acting extremely strict with the "image" aspect of 4chan being an imageboard on /v/ and dish out bans if your image is not video game related which has people approach the board as SRSBSNS and turns the audience away who like to discuss a character trait and pivot into a discussion about an out there topic like slave rape or animal behavior

Mostly the captcha though.

I moved out and my ISP changed so now I have to solve the normal captchas and it's kind of fucking retarded, not even hard just a waste of time. I was even considering the email verification on a burner I have, but the captcha there was genuinely impossible. This is after many moved to Shitter and quality threads are being shit up by schizos even harder than they were in 2024. During the move I was on mobile, and let me tell you, there were TONS of banned IPs I ran into. They're almost all from 2025-now, because there were certain sites allowing for maximum shitposting and ban evading is what those retards do. I've had to reset my router a few times even. Even the newfags that come in tend to be from Shitter, or they're just trying to bait because they came to Sharty after hearing about unfunny memes. I hate it.

I never get captchas on my computer or on my phone lol.

No one wants to visit a site where all anyone ever does is yell about indians and trannies. That's what this board is now.

Gamers are becoming less casual in general and /v/ is still stuck in the 2010s mindset of wanting every game to handhold them through it.

you probably should have listened to the people telling you that constant coomer threads were ruining the quality of the board
oh well, too late now
>>
>Every single topic of even moderate popularity has some kind of crazy schizo that derails the thread, often with them being known for several years
>At best they get a three day ban slap on the wrist, at worst they're never banned whatsoever
>Can no longer talk about almost anything on /v/ without your thread being obliterated by some nutter whackjob looney that growls the board looking to shit up his topic of choice
>The same is increasingly true on nearly every board now

Gee, I wonder why people are leaving 4chan

This has happened to my just by having a dynamic IP. I don't even use /b/ and I only use /gif/ for my fetish, what the fuck is going on over there.

The last time I had real fun on this site was /dbs/ when it was airing. Everybody here is just boring now.
