Everytime I post something I get no replies and the thread dies. I can not even start a thread that gets more than 1 post but if someone makes rthe exact same thread it damn near hits bump limit.
I think this is because the number of users on this website is so far dwindled that its only bots talking at each other. Then a real human comes along and it fucks up the program. Am I just being salty? If I am how can i start getting more (you)'s?

Yea, my threads are bad too. I stick to hijacking or derailing others threads, or gioyc if it doesn't fit anywhere else.
Nice honkers, btw

>>34423415
You basically got to sell out or just keep posting it. Also sometimes a thread will start to die towards the end, but if you bump it all of a sudden like 10 people have opinions on it and the thread organically stays alive without you. It also helps the more prompts you have for your readers to engage with, the picture you use, and your title/opening. There is more but this is a start.

Yeah I've literally gotten a 3 month b& for posting "bump". I really think this entire sitr is dead and Horishimoot bots it the fuck up to appeal to advertisers. Its dreadful. I'm in favour of moving to Lolcow farms even though its much slower the quality of threads is much more high.

I get banned randomly but rarely for years now. Sometimes my threads get deleted for being off-topic.

Maybe you have boring problems

My threads almost always kick off. A lot goes into making a good thread. If you can't manage to achieve most of these things it's generally best not to make the thread in the first place.
>have an interesting and engaging topic that's not done to death
>well written OP (but generally short)
>actually entering a title (you lazy cunt)
>a good pic
>timing (day of the week, time of day, not a big event happening)
>picking the right board
>engaging with the people who post in your thread without dominating the course the thread takes
That's not to say this guarantees an active thread, but that's ok it's 4chan. Let it go.

>lust provoking image
>time wasting question
>???
>profit

Generally the only times my threads pop off is if I accidentally post on the wrong board. Mistaking /v/ for /tv/ is almost gaurunteed to get a couple hundred replies
>>
same here. Its because there are so many losers who ask questions built for engagement. There were like 4 active threads about dick size going on yesterday

>>34423415
If you can get past that disgusting spam filter and actually make a post, which I VERY OFTEN cannot (I write a WHOLE ASS POST and it is "flagged as spam by the system" and I'm unable to post it) then the next step to keeping a thread alive is to provide more information as the OP in new replies over time. Some of my threads have me posting 50% of the replies, and I'm not faking anything, I'm posting as me. But I only do that when I'm really REALLY looking for information and desperate for a discussion.

If you want your thread to get more (yous) you will need:
- An eye-catching OP image. Ideally an image where the thumbnail doesn't have to be opened to know it's contents. The image should convey a feeling, like a reaction image or meme that parodies a specific problem or feeling. If you're really cheap and lazy, you can opt for a picture of a giant set of honkers or a fat rounded ass of a female.

Another good practice is to choose images that feature a lot of the color red, orange or yellow. These colors contrast sharply with the blue background of this board and makes your OP image 'pop'.

-You will need a subject field
Make it short and concise. Ideally you would want it in all caps LIKE THIS but that's too much. Don't type it (Like this). (or this). Instead do it (Like This) Capitalize the start of every word. Yes it's bad grammar but the point isn't correctness it's about grabbing someone's mind and saying "Read This."

Next you will want the OP comment itself the 'story' or 'question' It has to be neither short or long. Do not go over 500 characters but do not go less than 100.

If you do a short one, make sure it's a divisive question that you know gets people arguing with each other. If you make long, it has to be a controversial or scandalous tell-all that divulges embarrassing or tragic information about yourself or someone you know. People love a good car crash.

Do all of that and your threads will be going from rookie numbers to CEO numbers

>Bonus points
Type as though you are confident, overly-confident, as if you already have the answers to your own question or problem. Type as though you think you know what you're talking about. People will see "arrogance" and they can't help but throw eggs at what they think is arrogant, gets them every time. Especially if you can pull it off by saying something blatantly ludicrous but you said it or typed it in a way that covers it with arrogance.

(One legend got near a hundred (yous), all he had to do was comment on someone's bedroom, and said "why do Americans always have framed pictures of ceiling fans in their rooms every fucking time." It was a mirror reflection of a ceiling fan. Everyone thought he was retarded and they didn't question it because he masked it with arrogance).

Another good practice is reply to yourself, this builds up more reply numbers at the bottom of your post. The more you do it, the larger the list of numbers becomes. The more likely a bystander thinks there's something "going on" and their fear of missing out compels them to at least go check the original post.

>I can not even start a thread that gets more than 1 post
Demonstrably untrue.
>>
>>34423415
considering that this thread has replies, youre either downplaying your successes, or most of your threads are generic and the users of this site dont want to participate in a thread that happens multiple times daily
>>
>>34424138
Demonstrably true considering I'm not the only one with this issue. And it doesn't explain the insta-death of threads that die as soon as I start posting.

>Chatgpt using faggot
Hey anon, I'm very sorry to hear that you dislike chatGPT. I think this is because you are perhaps frustrated with what you perceive to be condescending tone or overly formal prose in writing or text. It may also be irritating for you because it does not make you feel heard if someone else is dissecting your problems like an itinerary list:

- Such as using hyphens as bullet markers to list off points
- one after the other; using semicolons—or sometimes—en dashes.
- This confuses you greatly. Because you cannot immediately tell whether if someone had used a chatGPT bot to formulate their responses to you.
- Despite the fact that these writing practices had been done by humans before AI, just a few years ago and yet you paid it no consideration
- Only now do you think AI is behind every post
- This is because you have autism
- This post was entirely created by hand another human made this because it would be funny to imitate GPT speak.
- It is really thrilling to make people question reality.
