From 2016 to 2026:>the number of people with internet access doubled (from 3 to 6 billion)>average posts per day on /pol/ fell from 120,000 to 60,000
>>537170560???
bless to all those anons that got girls, started families and made it out of this god forsaken place
>>537170689What about the anons who became trannies and necked themselves?
>>537170560and people will still say the vaxx is fine
>>537170560It starts going down in 2022, when Elon opened up Twitter. Everybody went there.
>>537170560I'm never making an account, Elon. It is never going to happen.
>>537170560Most of that is spam.
>>537170811Cringe.
>>537170560Tranny spam Indian hate spam flooded with spics and miggers NAFO spam the board is a shithole it’s over
>>537170689i've got 2 kids and a wife. i aint ever fuckin leaving
>>537170689It's been so long that their whore wives probably already divorced and took half already.
>>537170792>>537170811Actually yeah, it's all the vaxmaxxed/antivax anons (your choice, maybe both) who died with covid (with, this is important) or who became trannies and necked (which takes some years, and the original decline began in 2017).
yeah the site is dyingsomething new will arise
Twitter is better now. this place sucks, especially on smartphones.
>>537170560The whole internet is dead. 4chan is one of the few remaining fragments. You think 4chan is bad, you should see the state of other image boards. We are in the final days.
>>537170560Good, it was better in here before Trump I. Not that there weren't good lulz to be had, but a pack of faggots from reddit and elsewhere found their way here, then jeets and jews shat on what was left
>>537171069I hope Web 3.0 comes with the functionality to remotely execute users.
>>537170560With Elon buying X I'm really not sure what the point of this place is anymore.
>>537171090It's really not that different, and the main problem is tranny jannies deleting any form of organic happening and sucking fed cocks in general.
People want to discuss politics less the more they realise there's no point to it. Politics right now is like watching a sport, where the globalist team are winning and have been for years and the anti-globalist team looks like it has no hope. It's just boring.
>>537171192>>537171069>>537170811Hope you don't imagine anyone will assume these are organic posts.
>>537170811Yea, the annoying tourists are fucking off, there will be an additional exodus as more and more western governments implement age verification and just start blocking the site outright, I for one look forward to reporting Britcucks on twatter when they say something retarded so I can laugh when their gay authoritarian government vans them.I dare some UKucks or Europoors to LARP like they have free speech like we do, I'll be right there as a swift reminder of reality.
>>537170689HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no, they all died alone, like you're going to
4chan is full of bots and paid posters that purposefully divide the community and prevent any sort of consensus being formed. There will never be a grassroots movement started on 4chan.
>>537170846I would if he let me say "nigger" and deny the holocaust
>>537171356We all die alone anon,But few will die and have their genetic material claimed unfit for debt slavery and will be spared the wheel of forced reincarnation on this forsaken plane
>>537170560The new Captcha they implemented to fight against bots is what killed user activity.
>>537171309you are getting this shit too
>>537171309I've said some pretty egregious (and sometimes wrong) shit over the years and nothing happened.Although I normally don't say anything outright illegal either. If they know about me they just don't want to give me a platform because it would turn really ugly, like Nuremberg Trialing themselves.
>>537170689This. I'm a step dad with a family now.The wifey had a wild life before meeting me, haha. The dad of our kids, DeAndre, is in prison.
>>537171365There already is. It's been a slow build up but it is snowballing now.
>>537170560
Good.4chan and pol discussion has actually been improving in the last few months.
>>537170872>Indian hate spam flooded with spics and miggersSee we know you're a jeet, you're not fooling anyone.
tourists are finally leaving
>>537170560You forgot there's only 5-10% humans here.
>>537171257You forgot to take your meds schizo
>>537170560You also forgot the users are jannies who work for free to red team and end up owning themselves in the process.
>>537171365>>537171663>consensus>on /pol/I mean there is consensus occasionally, but this is formed only by the 20 or so oldfags who might be present (on a good day), because the opinion of anyone else isn't worth the pixels it's displayed on.
>>537171500>will be spared the wheel of forced reincarnation on this forsaken planeread this as "foreskin plane" at first
>>537171773No, in fact I did not, but you forgot to go back to faggit, diesbycord or even xwitter. Maybe all three and more.
The board back then used to be insanely fast, you'd have to keep bumping a thread else it'd fall out of the catalogue in a minute or two.Dozens of threads hitting bump limit every half an hour. Insane number of spam and bait threads.Now all that's left is the spam and bait.And even posters devolved into namecalling idjits unable or unwilling to have any form of civilised discussion.
>>537170560It's just part of a broader internet-wide phenomenon involving social media.
>>537171892That's not quite true, but finding the good threads can be difficult because often the OP doesn't have much to do with it and they're slow.
Mods did fuckall to derail spam, schizos, third worlders, recycled threads, low effort posting and bots. Couple that with gookmoot doing fuckall to engage with this place, and you have a recipe for all the slightly less retarded anons eventually fucking off while the fully retarded stay just to shit up the place. Not mention you have jannies who actively ignore reports about this shit. It's no wonder the site's dying.
>>537171906Social media in general is just becoming worthless spammy shit, no point in engaging with worthless ragebait, retarded third world spam, and AI-generated dogshit.
>>537170560when the level of dialog is to be told to kill yourself, no surprise it doesn't engage
>>537171069Please stay on your faggot site, phone shitter.
>>537171733Nah, only the effort posters. Redditors and shitskins will keep defecating all over the site. It's too bad we don't have a critical mass for an exodus like in 2015.
>>537172194Exactly
>>537172195>when the level of dialog is to be told to kill yourself>no surprise it doesn't engageThat's how it was back in the day, jeet.
>>537172251>>when the level of dialog is to be told to kill yourself>>no surprise it doesn't engage>That's how it was back in the day, jeet.please kill yourself
>>537170689im still here 10 years later, raising a beautiful son of my wife
>>537172313no u
>>537171071420chan didn't make it (RIP)
>>537171906uhhh, BASED trend?what the fuck, I thought I was one of the rare ones dropping all social media but I guess with the advent of BOOMERSLOP more people got fed up with that garbage
>>537170689This. The posters here are just absolute cretins (including myself).
>>537171071X, jewtube, and the other reels platforms are the internet now.
>>5371705604chan was better before /pol/ existed. If only Moot wasn't such a cuck simping for that gamer gate bitch and appeasing stormfags. This board unironically killed 4chin
>>537172577No, they are the new cable. Not the internet. The internet is gone.
The election tourists made everyone leave lmao
i want out so badget me the fuck out of here
>>537172652>If only Moot wasn't such a cuck simping for that gamer gate bitch and appeasing stormfagsPick one.
>>537170846Do people actually make accounts? Always thought that was a gag. Fucking weird.
>>537171733All that's left are post-2008 newfags, the original culture died and tourists are all that's left. Unironically the fucking sharty is closer to old4chin at this point
>>537170689I got married and had two kids but I'm still here.
>>537172726don't you have grenades?
>>537170560I think you mean to say "it took a decade to recover from election tourists"
>>537172732It's both. His simping caused him to censor the site, and stormfags seized the opportunity to spam until they were allowed a containment board that didn't contain shit because this shithole is now the most active board and infected the rest of the site. Read the leaked mod logs from that time
>>537172500>>537172788please go back to the slav screeching thread, or better yet just go back to plebbit, tourist
>>537173143seethe more fag
>>537172827look at that obvious botting, crazy
we need a reset to get rid of all the reddit migger tourists
This discussion reminds me of how everyone wants to blame the state of modern women on one thing when it's a combination of factors.The general state of 4chins seems to be due to>Aging user baseSo many oldfags have grown too busy with life to bother with this site anymore or simply died>Lack of new bloodZoomers have other communities to pick from: discord, twatter, plebbit, steamBecause>4chan is outdatedchans format is not appealing to zoomersWe are the remnants of a bygone era.Which resulted in>4chan losing cultural relevanceOther sites used to regurgigate 4chan's memes, now it's the opposite>mods and janniesShit moderation and handling of the site has contributed to probably no insignificant amount of anons to leave the site(remember when 4chan got hacked last year?)>Elon buying twatterHe pretty much turned it into /pol/ lite plus you can get paid for your shitposts so of course a bunch of anons moved thereIt's amazing how the downward trend hasn't even stabilized. What will be the future of 4chan? at this rate, could it disappear? or sink to the levels of the very first year and become an even more niche site? who knows
Let's chat about data OP
>>537170789They're enjoying a swim in the deepest circle of hell.
>>537170811>>537171906>everyone went therex is flatlining
>>537173731>Let's chat about data OPoh, what tool is that? Did you make it yourself?
>>537173630my reason for coming here is simply because i eventually turned to despise reddit after years of using it and then getting perma'd. Didn't really wanna go on xitter as it just felt like more low iq drivel and shock content so i had really nowhere else to go but here.is 4chins high iq? obviously not, but i tend to find a fair more amounts of gems on here compared to plebbit and xitter.
>>537173630>>537171071>>537172577>>537171365>>537171733>However, the answer is 4chan withdrawal prevention center, formerly known as the psyops sommelier society. Certified & Designated by the Anons' Pattern Recognition Lab, Est. 2026. If you're getting tired of talking to same-shit-spam agitprop algo bots, you should just start building your own breakaway communities or if cba you can join my SX chat :https://smp17.simplex.im/g#cM4KI1_rV4wtq3NywfJodpj4I_IRvuuhnqQy4ATe6Cg If short linke doesn't work : full-link picrel.

If you want actual coherent exchange of discussion - talk about conspiracy theories, history & geopolitics, esoteric metaphysics, high-finance, 'insider here' posts and some banters and shitpost memes allowed, places like here and img boards are no longer an isolated layer where we can laugh at normiefags. We're not watching them. We are being watched. Discord & Telegram are namefag apps and privacy nightmare. SimepleX has incognito mode, multi-profile mode that doens't require your phone number needed to join. Beware : this chat is post-populist : that means you agree to disagee-it was normal for people to have different opinion. Idpol is welcomed, but you can still joke. This is not advertisement. It's for people who would already be complaining about the board constantly so here I'm making your job easier jannies. Ad is for randoms just browsing by.
>>537170560The mods and admins mismanagement and corruption are directly responsible for the decline of 4chan. Nothing will improve until there is a new owner.
>>537170560Most left during 2015 and migrated to two other chans I won't name to keep thr miggers out. Trump ruined this board
>>537170689its more like zoomers are now using discord, instagram, snapchat, and tiktok. image boards are a relic of the past, gone the way of albinoblacksheep and facepunch.
>>537173630I think 4chan getting slower and more niche is a good thing actually. I think us fading into culturally irelevancy as we age is good. The boomers never shed their cultural mantle and it was a disaster.Its clear that the tourist and the racist of today are not the same as the most multicultural white supremecists on the internet. We we're not racist, Anyone could be a white supremecists here because it wasn't about something as dumb as phenotypic skin color, it was completely about western stoic philosophy and becoming UbermenschThe racist and the pathetic losers who still gargle trumps clod runny cum, Are not true National Socialist, they don't believe in a robust social systems and elevating the nation into being better people. They only care about hurting brown people.Its quite pathetic.
>>537173889Yes, it's still just a prototype and kinda janky though. Th 'heat' is just a rough measure of whether a thread is more active than the catalog average over its lifetime, entropy is a very loose proxy for the degree of effortpostingThe web interface is vibe coded cause I don't have patience for that sort of work but I have been into collecting and visualizing social media data of all kinds for years
I stopped using it daily because 80% of content is posted by Russians or Indians.When it was kikes and chinks they were at least original. The Russians are utterly tiresome, and jeets can only timmy post as if anyone gives a fuck about the name timmy.

>>537170689it can always get worse
>>537173630Platforms where chan-cultural ideas have spread to in recent years, like X and Youtube, are increasingly targets for state censorship. The UK Government's moves to restrict the youth's access to unfavoured sources of information online will, sooner or later, be adopted by our enemies in positions of power elsewhere. If anything, 4chan's obscurity is an advantage at present, and if I am right, at least some of the anons who have left will, in time, return. Besides, I am a little nostalgic about this place, so I continue to lurk despite posting infrequently.
I won. You lost.
>>537174342actually no, I don't want to do content or sentiment analysis and don't think it would be that valuable, 90% of the time it would be 'this thread is about X, a lot of people are being very rude' and then you'd be dealing with whatever bias is baked into the LLMs. I prefer measuring things like sentence length or the shape of the reply trees, things you can measure objectively regardless of how you might feel about a topic
>>537170560`looks like a vax die off chartsorry, i just didn't take it (the vax)
>>537174622>actually no, I don't want to do content or sentiment analysis and don't think it would be that valuable, 90% of the time it would be 'this thread is about X, a lot of people are being very rude' and then you'd be dealing with whatever bias is baked into the LLMs. I prefer measuring things like sentence length or the shape of the reply trees, things you can measure objectively regardless of how you might feel about a topicThat's a better approach and is often less wordy, but more accurate than "AI" analysis.But it looked like you had some summary function, hence my incorrect deduction.Once traditional distribution statistics are being made, patterns do emerge.And it is always interesting to see what you can get from this.
>>537174747There is no emotion you can consume from AI. It's the same reason people barely play chess against AI. Even the grandmaster finds it hard to keep playing with AI.
>>537170560It's effectively dead. It's all bots, social engineering, coordinated raids, and rage bait designed to maximize user engagement. It's the same shit as Reddit, now the entire internet is following that business model.4chan is already dead. Thankfully, it did its job and made the Judeo-Masonic question mainstream. At this point, your best option is to leave the containment zone and spread your ideas in more mainstream or woke spaces. Let it also be a lesson for people who don't gatekeep their communities.
>>537170560>election tourists migrated to reddit and discord
>>537170560Good. 4chan was much better when it was smaller. Reddit niggers need to leave
>>537170560It wasn’t only the number of posts, around 2015 /x/ went from 40% intellectual discussion 60% schizo to 5% semi decent conversationstarter threads 95% full on psychotic larping and a bigger influx of christians as well.
these new aggressive captchas have decreased the amount of posts I make. I'm sure I'm not alone. The captcha's aren't difficult. But when I click "get captcha" and it says "you must wait 5 minutes for your captcha" I think to myself, no one's going to reply to this shitpost anyway, and delete it. I'm not going to wait 5 minutes to call someone a faggot unless they're a real massive giga-fag. Case in point. I fill out the captcha. Connection error. Get new captcha. Have to fucking wait 2 minutes.
>>537173326We had that last year when all the /ptg/ scum ran to the sharty during the hack. Too bad it didn't last. They will be the death of this board, the same way Q-boomers destroyed 8/pol/.
>>537174876More like the genuine, high-effort posters left this place, and now it's full of glowies, social "scientists," bots, and people who are completely disconnected from the culture of the board, basically Redditors.Anyway, I don't even know why I keep coming back. It's shit, but everything else is somehow even shittier.
>>537174968I think they've had their positives and negatives. On one hand it's a filter for spam and bullshit, on another it drives down engagement.
>>537170560Overall 4chan post count has been rebounding for the past couple of weeks.Either has to do with schools being closed or the administration relaxing their recent ip restrictions and fewer janitors being there to ban lightposters.All things considered /pol/ is holding steady lately despite the absence of happenings which is okayish.Anyone saying that "fewer posts is better" or "tourists are leaving" is however delusional. The boards bleeding numbers are primarily the hobby ones. They are the family-owned-cornerstores of 4chan, the places where you can have discussion with real human beans without being shilled at, and they lose 20-30% of posters from year to year. Soon you won't have anyone to talk to there Most popular boards? Videogame related. Coincidentally, not only videogames have been getting worse and more pozzed, but more and more third worlders can afford hardware to run those. So who's doing the posting there and what do they discuss?
>>537170560The board culture just sucks ass across the entire site now. You can't say soi, I'm pretty sure you can't say sne-ed, you can't say c-uck, you can't roll, /pol/ is filled to the brim with scat fetishists pretending to be racist, and every porn board and thread is just a recruiting stand for discord retards that all know each other's names which defeats the entire fucking point of 4chan. If you want this site to stop rotting away get rid of the banned words, get rid of the filters, actually enforce a bare minimum quality control, and raise the thread bump limit to 400 so actual discussion can last longer.
>>537170560>>537170560The majority of regulars have become lurkera again, just monitoring the board for the one in a bajillionth noteworthy event in the deluge of spam, faggotry, astroturfing and so on.>.t elder of chans
>>5371705601 covid vaccine, 2 Gamergates, 3 exodias will do that(one inverse from country bans). Now only the retards, and clowns have been left behind and the better half is now in darker, deeper tides. Couldn't have happened to a better chink rice farmer forum. Honk
>>537174973They will disappear when trump dies. Cults of personality always do when it's leader is gone
>>537175127Also ban discord links and make it a lifelong ban for anyone that even indirectly tries shilling one. That shit is actual cancer and needs to fuck off the site.
>>537175127Cuck
>>537170811That's part of it.Another big part is the lack of an official mobile app and zoomers/alphas being too tech illiterate to find and use a third party app. The mobile version of the site in a browser is there but it's not very good. Even in desktop you need an extension, really. Lastly, the tight filesize limits and limited codec support is super primitive compared to other sites.
>>5371750804chan before captcha was ridiculous. There was some Russian on /tv/ who spammed Avatar images all hour, every day, for over a year with his bot. Pretty much every board, at any given time, would have at least one bot spam thread on their front page and i would stay on the front page all day. Zero engagement. Zero conversation. Just the same images being dumped that the same bot dumped yesterday. I'm glad that's done.
Onions sneed cuck
>>537170560Two thing are to blame>4chan will always serve a niche, but it is a niche. >Rules and spam have killed most boards. They're dead or filled with spam.
>>537175232>>537175209Why the fuck is s-oy the one word they tweak out over? Also, them auto-detecting roll posts as spam is gay shit.
>>537174968>But when I click "get captcha" and it says "you must wait 5 minutes for your captcha"do you always post from incognito mode or something? It only does that the first time you post from a new IP address. Then afterwards it just gives you the captcha immediately. Once you do enough it just gives you one single thing to solve instead of 3 or 4. But all that goes away if you clear cookies
why do kikes have to ruin everything? people are tired of social media that's full of shills, simple.
>>537174425Why does she walk like this sir
>>537175303It certainly Ironic that Sooye makes them cry but onions make most normans whine
>>537175303Relic of the past when the gods actively participated in its creation.
>>537174968The new captchas are great.They are designed to promote regular users using 1 single device over random spammers.The older your cookies are, the simpler the captcha get.I am now down to 1 slide about finding the different image of the 3.To fix "connection error", I use firefox (with ublock on too). It's chromium based browsers that seem to be affected, for some reason
>>537170560Our power is concentrating
>>537175416I think this doesn't work on some boards
>>537173830I don't believe in hell like that bro. I view them as autists that we should have saved them from their mothers and all this jewry.
>>537175532what boards? I opened 3 random ones: /s/, /jp/ and /lgbt/ and it worked fine on all 3
