In hindsight, the (You) feature and the feature that shows a list of replies next to the post itself were the worst features 4chan ever added.

They turned replies into 4chan's 'updoot' system, so now you get a dopamine hit every time someone replies to your post. They also ensured that posts that have already got a lot of replies get even more attention, thus attracting even more replies. Many people now skim a thread, only reading the posts that attracted a lot of attention. All of this combined produced an effect where people stopped posting for the purpose of having a conversation and began doing everything they could to bait replies. People don't try to make insightful posts anymore, they just post the most inflammatory things they can.

Honestly though, 99% of the people reading this probably joined the site after those features were added so they won't even have any idea what I'm talking about.

Most 4chud users are just redditors who couldn't not say the n-word for 5 minutes so they got banned. Obviously they all deny this thus proving it's true.

Are you shitting me, aosynth's ya4cie & backlinks were incredible. It has nothing to do with popularity on an anonymous board, you colossal faggot, but all about following discussions in a more productive way. Anything else that results other than a more better conversation is irrelevant. Who cares that you are sitting there with your dick in your hand moaning ``(You)s''. No one, that's who.
Almost 20 years and all I have ever wanted/enjoyed/needed has been thumbnail expansion & inline backlinks.

Bruh stop being retarded, that extension would be possible with or without yous since it could just intercept you posting
>>
>>107493137
No, why would I want to treat 4chan as an engagement farm like the other slop sites?
Is this the extentions dumb zoomers and thirdies uses? It'd explain their shitpost quality.

whenever i see something with more than 10 replies i immediately hide it anyways
>>
I initially thought people were doing this as a bit but I'm slowly being convinced some people actually value replies.
What's up with that? Is this like a cultural thing where people coming from social networks are just accustomed to scoring systems? I don't understand the point so I guess its a generational thing.

i installed it in may then hide it with custom css tho
i think it's nice to see the amount of (you) you can get in a year, i just hide it again and will check again next year

>i think it's nice to see the amount of (you) you can get in a year
could be for some people. personally, i really don't care about knowing. will just show how i might have spent some ungodly amount of time shitposting instead of working
