Can the mods please do something about the bots on here?
Half of the threads on the first two pages are botted, either chartslop with no text in the body or a youtube link with a picture of the same filename format, please do something about this shit

what about the dozens of geordie greep threads all day? face it, the entire board is celebrity gossip. some unimportant artist saying something political on twitter will get a thousand times more posts and replies than some anon recommending a good song or album. your music discussion doesn't exist and hasn't for years.

or i dunno, go make music. anything to not worry about a fucking imageboard.

there's been bots here for at least a year.
you think they only post links? how many retarded arguments have you seen or been a part of?

>>
>>131808173
your dismissive tone suggests you think there's no bot activity on 4chan.
are you sure about that?
>>
>>131808173
to make the boards look like they have activity when they don't. 4chan tries to sell advertising, it's a lot harder to sell ads to someone when they can open the catalog and see a board is completely dead. the 4chan moderation team are the ones doing it would be my guess. on /mu/ if you took out the botted kpop threads the board would be about as slow as /po/

from the look of things this site is probably going to go out of business soon because they're having to resort to this strategy to keep it barely afloat
>>
>>131801868
If I recall correctly from the janny leaks (Jannygate), /mu/ literally does not have mods. Global mods respond to reports when buttmad jews tell on you for teasing them
>>
>>131807374
other than the standard polbaiting present on nearly every board on this site, and the religious discussion that also plagues /his/ and /x/ since there is no religion board, they manage to stay mostly on topic. neither literature nor music are great topics for an imageboard like this though.
>>
>>131808345
>from the look of things this site is probably going to go out of business soon because they're having to resort to this strategy to keep it barely afloat
Your poorly hidden glee at this scenario is very telling.

>>131808349
correct, /mu/ does not have a dedicated mod. we've got an esl streetshitter janny who lives in canada that only cares about the kpop threads, see >>131807044

I guess that makes sense

It's insane that the MUSIC board is this slow, I would have expected it to be at least as fast as /co/
>>
4chan is a retirement home for the lame unfunny faggots who never made OC and never posted anything worth reading. All the talent and funny anons left years ago because talented and funny people don't spend their entire lives posting on an anime imageboard. The influx of new funny and talented posters dried up and now we squat in the ruins and endlessly conjure scenarios for why shit sucks now.
>>
>>131808458
I used to make OC and effortpost, but it hasn't been worth it for the past ten years
>>
>>131808432
why? nothing happens in music. that's why the only things that are active are gossip/gooner/current events topics that are only barely music related. especially since the user base has done a 180 on contrarianism so that the only acceptable topics are the rolling stone top 20 bands of all time, there's precious little to discuss that won't quickly devolve into celebshitting.
>>
>>131808432
>the MUSIC board is this slow
>I would have expected it to be at least as fast as /co/
it would be if it was moderated. anybody interested in discussing music opens /mu/, sees 10 /kgook/ spam threads, 10 waifu goon threads, some more celebrity gossip spam, some political rage bait threads, and immediately nopes the fuck out because there's nearly zero threads where music is the focus

this should be one of the most active boards on the entire site but it's not
>>
>>131808496
>nothing happens in music.

I'd beg to differ, there are interesting releases all the time but mentioning them will get you labelled as a shill

Hell, I'm a member of the Steve Hoffman Music Forum and it's thriving despite them only talking about boomer music

I agree with >>131808504, better moderation could help restore the board's reputation

What's the point? Is it someone trying to game the algorithm and get things trending in people's recommendation by linking them different places? If it was a troll they'd probably do something more inflammatory or offensive to get reactions.
>>
>>131808776
No, it's just technically "on topic" bot spam, see >>131808345. Mods are stealth botting the board, the last time this happened 4chan was being looked at by a potential buyer. It's literally criminal fraud if that's what's happening again.
>>
>>131808537
then you should unironically stay there. the rot that infests this site is something a simple change in moderation won't fix.

>>
>>131806473
No it's the opposite. No one posts here BECAUSE of the bots. This board has gone steadily downhill the past decade, noticeably so in the past 5 years.
I would love to post on /mu/ but every time I come here and make a thread I get reminded very fast of why I stopped posting on this board so much these days. Maybe I'm wrong and that's just my personal experience but I highly doubt that bots are here because nobody posts. That genuinely makes no sense
>>
>>131808537
>I'd beg to differ, there are interesting releases all the time but mentioning them will get you labelled as a shill
yep. This has happened to me many times to the point where I just hardly post here anymore. Also I've had threads deleted for "shilling". Like okay so we aren't allowed to share music unless it's popular enough to be reviewed by Pitchfork or Fagtano? Genuinely so fucking retarded
>>
>>131809023
I have no doubt that you were in fact shilling.
>>
>>131809095
Well yeah I was shilling but I wasn't shilling my own stuff. I don't even make music. Basically my point is that if something doesn't have a bunch of money behind it to get marketed to the point where everyone knows about it prior to someone making a thread here then it's essentially "shilling". There is nothing inherently wrong with shilling when you actually think about it. The only area where it starts to become an issue is when it gets spammed, like Bengalfaul. But mods wont do shit about that for whatever reason
>>
>>131806297
These are not nearly as bad as the pepe threads we get. half the time its just spamming lyrics
>>131807274
>>131807324
>>131804868
>>131803518

I hate shills and shilling so much that if someone makes a thread about a band or song I haven't heard it just assures that I will go out of my way to never listen to it.
>>
>>131809178
That's just a long winded way of saying you don't like music
>>
>>131809187
Seethe impotently shill-kun.
>>
>>131809208
Explain how I'm wrong. Even if someone with that mindset "likes" music, in the sense that they listen to stuff, they certainly don't like music enough to be posting on the music board. Like make it make sense. You don't *want* to listen to something you haven't heard before???

>>131809221

this thread is proof
>>
>>131809178
do you apply this logic to /tv/ and /v/ too? You refuse to play any new games that people post about? Or watch any new movies anyone makes a thread about?
>>
>>131809178
Its just people shilling anyway. Geese got outted for trying to force popularity by posting themselves here. Thats why I also don't click on any band that I don't already know
>>
>>131809308
dont try to reason with moronic imbeciles
>>
>>131809023
You’ll get accused of shilling either way. Post about a band as big as Geese? You’ll get accused of being part of their algo manipulation marketing. Post about some obscure band with little to no following? They’ll assume you’re shilling your own work.

The irony is that the board is so dead, I don’t even think it’s worth the time for labels or artists to promote here anymore, big or small. Music discussion on /mu/ has become literally impossible, so it’s no surprise the board is dying
>>
>>131809153
for better or worse afaik those have been board culture for a long time, along with equally retarded shit like 'name our band', 'holy shit', 'it clicked', 'band member's gf wants us to change our name to ____', etc. this is why i can never take the complaining about the kpop threads seriously. the rest of the board isn't much better. many of those threads get zero replies and they're tolerated why? because one was funny once? same with the cuckgau threads, that poster might as well be/might actually be a bot too.
>>
>>131809178
Literally pathological lmao. You’re a big part of the reason board culture is so shit. /mu/ used to be an amazing place for the sharethreads alone, I discovered so much music that I wouldn’t find anywhere else, just the most obscure rips imaginable with ridiculous genre tags.

This argument always comes from a newfag election tourist who showed up sometime around 2015 or afterward.
Pepe/Wojak spam didn't really ramp up until around that time period, so you're just used to it being that way. Yeah, there were pepe/wojak images before that, but the idea that it's board culture for every thread to only have variations of two meme characters is fucking asinine. You're a cancer-ridden newfag and you always will be.

>A janny or mod is behind it. It’s possible their bosses don’t know about it. The bot fakes engagement which is in the best interest of corrupt jannies, if the mods found out they were deliberately driving away users they would lose their privileges, by keeping some dummy threads going, it makes it look like they are doing their easy jobs. They also use it on their pet threads to create the illusion of more users, notice that every wpop, metal and Emily Armstrong general uses the same images and posts when the thread is new, every time.
