this website is absolutely tiring with how much politics, twitter or whatever seasonal current event is forced here by its modern userbase. not to mention the automaton interactions that are cycled in ever instance of a thread. the aforementioned userbase is so nauseating and dull to interact with in any given instance.

i was lurking /v/ after having abandoned the bored for so long and it is abysmal. it feels like ever single thread on there is the regardless of topic. same way the users interact, same way how each try to force off-topic or dead end "i win, you lose" arguments. i mean, it is amazing how forced "arguments" are generated in a random shitpost.

/tv/? it feels about the same except there hasnt been a new meme to spam in a very long time. same rehashed stuff, i guess there is always a baskin boberts thread. those are funny.

/vr/ feels like an anachronistic /v/ in that it is basically /v/ now but with topics that cannot be made past a certain established year.

/ck/ feels like facebook with its interaction farming threads cyclically made by a bot. although /ck/ has historically had the worst moderation of all the boards i have used.

/co/....urgh....bbbbb*barf*
dont wanna talk about that one

/a/ is trash

lurking is so tiresome. then there are curated circle like twitter and whatever big social media there is which siphons new blood to explore the internet. fact of the matter is, this place sucks.

tl;dr
>this place friggin sucks desuyo!

What are you sad about? Chin up, son. You will wake up the next, and start the day all over again. Perhaps it won`t be the same as yesterday, but the little nuances add up to a new day. Go on, enjoy the undying generals and necrotic "read along" threads. Why not fire up that mobile data and make a sneed thread. Live a little.

i hate how centralized the internet is these days.
truly miss when sites felt different from each other, now everywhere is the same and it's very lame. there's no originality nor individuality, everything that is annoying is pushed everywhere, i'm really tired.
i wish xitter never existed.
politics also ruined everything, it specially affected this place since we got full of people who think this /pol/ resumed the entire site.

Bantoids can't even be oldfags if this is their home board. Bant was made during the great reddit migration of 2016 or something.

>>24305275
>/vr/ feels like an anachronistic /v/ in that it is basically /v/ now but with topics that cannot be made past a certain established year.
true
I think extending the allowed generation of release did a number on it
>>24307329
but /bant/ was the last bastion of oldfag soul + with a new somewhat discord-esque culture of recognizable posters (but it was before discord got big, people began migrating to discord during the /bant/ years and it was part of what killed it)
also some were actual 4chan oldfags who made it their new home because it was appealing to them

/bant/ looked kinna decent in its early era. i kinna regret not given it a chance then, but at the same time, there were other better places i enjoyed that are no longer around now or are worse in this current generation.

I was told it was similar 2 old /b/ from some old banters. I never clicked on bant until a couple of years after its "golden age" though so I just have to go off of what people tell me.

Most of us have grown beyond the bucket of crabs that is 4chan. This mentality of "lol they must've killed themselves" is indicative of your misery that you want to share with others. You're not content suffering in silence no you need others to join you and validate your misery. If you can't succeed then nobody should.
At a certain point we mature and realize everything that's said by the denizens of 4chan is detrimental for your happiness. Once you stop engaging and live your life you'll find that everyone here is not only awful but has no desire to make their life better. Some people are just fucked yeah but most of you aren't you're just giving up because you're weak.

I heard that comparison often on here but I wasn't around for old /b/ so I don't really know. I'm a ~2016 eternal 4chan newfag, but I'm a /bant/ oldfag of late 2017, which was when it began to have more named posters and homosexuality, and it did still have a lot of OC but I think the peak of OC creation must've been mid-2017 /bant/ during its genesis when all the different characters (/bant/-tan, cirno, duke nukem, simon) were being established. Based on what I know about old /b/ at least I would say /bant/ had less edginess, less cp, more country banter, more comfiness, and more known posters. The similarities would've been the OC, the randomness (especially compared to what /b/ had become which is just porn dumps), and the recurring memes and inside jokes unique to the board. The recurring posts were probably even more repetitive than any other board though (sakuya giving cirno the fishe, alzheimers guy). You would also see random interesting things happening like a guy documenting himself breaking into a construction site and climbing a crane.

I enjoyed it a lot but I guess I was an excitable 14-15 year old at the time
>>
>>24307690
I meant to say but forgot, I think the recurring memes were more s4s-like than /b/-like. So /bant/ was like a hodgepodge of old /b/, /int/ (probably some krautchan /int/ influence as well), [s4s], and I suppose Discord, but many more interesting things happened here in one year than in the entirety of Discord's existence.

depends what u mean. most of the actual oldfags are gone but didn't kill themselves just moved onto other shit.

That's about the same for me, just scrolling until you find an interesting thread then be comfy there for a bit or just lurk at whiny people. Sometimes if you wanna vent into the void it can be good because unless you are a female then you can get a lot of attention but usually just people simping and being mean to you kek
