/pol/ - Politically Incorrect

[Advertise on 4chan]


Why has /pol/ been bleeding daily posts for the past few years? Used to be way more than 100k posts daily and now it's around 65k It used to be the most active board only behind /vg/.
Is it because of twitter? But that place is full of normies, why would you rather post there?
>>
4chan has been dying for a decade. /pol/ got a bump from all the r/thedonald redditfugees.
They have to go back
>>
Cause there are no effort posters providing interesting content and the site is flooded with brown monkeys spamming twitter posts.

It's because more and more posters are going outside. There's a reason why 4chan was it's peak during 2020-2021.

>There's a reason why 4chan was it's peak during 2020-2021
Yes but even back in 2022 and 2023 it had like 100k posts on average and that was over a year after any lockdowns.

nigger i just took a couple months away from this shithole site because its just seething brown hindus and mudshit faggots and when its not them screeching its sour milk smelling leftypol fags shitting up the catalogue....i'm only here now to note that and call you nigger.

Most of the stuff either isn’t worth responding to or it’s already been said a million times before.
I mostly just lurk for news headlines at this point or read humor threads for the lulz
>>
>>537651246
It's the browning of the internet as a whole. /vg/ is mostly mobile gacha gambling games that appeal to brown third worlders from southeast asia, south america, and india. /pol/ has its issues, but at least we have jeet hate threads to (mostly) remind browns that they aren't welcome.
Shit moderation is really the main issue with /pol/. We have too much spam 1pbtid threads on the catalog that drive people off of /pol/ simply because of frustration with the shit moderation.

>>537651339
You want some real dire news? r/thedonald 2016 election tourists have been here for 10 years, and the older MAGApede boomer ones are on average white. The average /ptg/ poster is more likely to be white than the rest of 4chan.

>>
>>537651339
i'd hope for at least a slight bump in board quality by banning things like the buff AI trumps. nobody wants to see that. i'd also buy a pass if there was even the most minimal means to access the staff (yes the IRC exists but average users won't look for this) for questions. the cloudflare issue we had this april comes to mind. ultimately, i think they know the site is in decline too because of that and the culture which has formed here

USAIDS cuts resulted in a severe reduction in blacked spam which used to be roughly 25% of all /pol/ posts

Mods are gay and make sure no fun is allowed is why.

>>537651246
4chan peaked before most Zoomers started using it, it has been a steady decline since 2007 with some noteworthy events since but eventually chans will die altogether or become irrelevant like they were before Fox News put spotlight on 4chan.
>>
>>537651246
Imagine trying to argue with people on pol for real

You say anything that goes against their dogmatic chud viewpoints and they act like entitled children at best
>>
>>537651246
Most people arent dumb and they dont want to argue with bots or the actual retards that post in 1pbtid threads.
>>
Also pay attention to the threads/hour. /pol/ only has a 200 thread catalog. There are something like 50 new spam threads created every hour. When the spam is especially high I've seen that number go up to 100 - half the catalog can get wiped with spam threads in a single hour sometimes. Poor moderation and refusal to delete low effort spam OPs is the reason why /pol/ is declining.
>>
>>537651246
Everyone is leaving because the owners of this website never gave a fuck about it when they bought it. It’s been enshitified by the 4chan pass. All the shills have them and that’s why this forum is dogshit now.

The thing is Hiro originally bought 4chan for advertisements. Yes, that's actually the reason why. 4chan used to have a sponsorship deal with goodsmile, the company that makes the nedoroid anime figures.
Then in 2022 we had that Buffalo shooting, and goodsmile dropped all of their 4chan advertising. Hiro's ad deal went up in smoke, and 4chan became a money losing scheme. This is why they sell those "make your own ads" things now.
>>
>>537652034
the newest newfag who still solves 3 captchas to post here is infinitely more powerful than even the mightiest redditor who comes here because they get to say the magic four words
>>
>>537652034
MAGA redditors are still superior to twatter newfags posting with memeflags, because at least they don't call anime "tranime" on an anime website. This is an anime website, always will be
>>
>>537651246
The cultist that flooded this place has made it unusable, in fact they are worse than the paid shills and bots even.
>>
>>537652329
Incorrect. It's the shills. Refer to >>537651917. The MAGA awoo posters mostly stay in their /ptg/ containment chamber, but low effort shill and spam threads are everywhere and wipe the catalog every few hours.
>>
>>537651917
It's not just 4chan all the other chans are dead. Everytime 4chan goes down I go to a backup chan and I feel like I'm the only one there.

the guy who just walked up to a grocery store and started doming people, and then more grocery store shootings started appearing because all these shooters pick soft targets in their impotent rage
american grocery stores are probably more dangerous than cave diving statistically now

xitter generally shows me more honest discussion and relevant topics. this board is constantly shilling or trolling. sure, we get a few good threads here and there, but the new generation of racists are fighting against algorithms in the normiesphere. you'd think this place being less relevant would mean it would start turning into deeper discussions, but unfortunately Tel Aviv has too much time and money to waste.

also reminds me of when i saw some zoomer walk into a grocery store wearing walker ear pro on his head
i was in the parking lot thinking if this faggot starts shooting people, i will get shot by responding retard police for shooting him
ended up just driving home, but that grocery store hired full-time undercover private security afterwards, always watching outside

And people who bring down the board quality to the lowest standard (democrat flag, and far-left liberals in general) aren't flagged for extremely low quality posts. They are instead allowed to shit everywhere and are encouraged. No real moderation. 4chan mods hate their own site. They hate everyone here.

Short answer: Yes it's because of X.

I really like the X experience. I use the ability to follow or block liberally. The things I want to see are going to filter to the top like cream. Sometimes the algorithm tries to catch me with some rage-baits, but I just block all those rage-baiting channels. I don't really want to spend all day angry at niggers. So with a little work I'm able to tailor my feed on X so it only shows me the best sexy art real and AI. and cool anime clips. And cool horror movie clips. It's 100% entertainment, and it always makes me feel good. And I get lots of likes and followers, so there is nice feedback in the social sense, telling me that my content is appreciated.

If I post on 4chan, people just ignore my thread or call me a faggot and tell me to kill myself. The quality of discussion here is pretty bad.

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
https://smp17.simplex.im/g#cM4KI1_rV4wtq3NywfJodpj4I_IRvuuhnqQy4ATe6Cg https://simplex.chat/downloads/
It’s only going to get worse if you didn't know already. 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.

Mix of things, mainly people moving to more socially acceptable channels but also we are now competing with regular, more addictive social apps.

Furthermore, /pol/ itself is infested with fake or altered headlines or images. I even saw one most recently in the biweekly Japanese rage bait thread which turned out to be a completely changed caption over an image.

It used to be just edgy or a place people can vent their frustrations of external politics but now its just as bad as going to any rage bait site, just now you don't have the shitposters or derailers being moderated.

It's because they use bots themselves. Retards who fiddle with poorman's local LLM accuses each other of sockpuppetting 200%.

I like effort posts. I can find deep dives easier elsewhere.

It took them a while to crack this place, but all they had to do was install their own mods and jannies. That's why ragebait off topic threads remain on page one, but any other off topic thread where people are having a good time and actual discussion are immediately moved to /bant/ how on earth can people claim they don't know what the issue is, when we have 150 daily threads about the reflection pool, and rolling generals that have made over 60k threads. It's obvious the mods are lame and gay glownigggers. Trump was the canary in the coal mine to make sure no places like old /pol/ exist when a real dark horse candidate runs for office.
>>
>>537653931
Why don't we all just go to Bant then? If all the good discussion is banished to Bant, then why are we here instead of Bant?
>>
>>537654005
Because /bant/ is a dead board. I've tried to follow threads over there and I end up talking to myself.
>>
>>537653931
Indeed. The most interesting posts get 404d more times then not when they are more on topic then
Why does (insert group) do (stupid thing)?
>>
>>537653915
Pretty much yeah. If all of /pol/ was effort posting with genuine intent to speak, regardless of political alignment, it would be fucking amazing. Sadly we got schizos, derailers and a lot of angry people. The good threads are really good but like a swamp, pretty hard to find anything worthwhile most of the time.
>>
>>537651670
>White

Same difference.

Anyway this place is awesome, the board does its job of being almost exactly what it should be. Only screentime neets complain and make these threads. Get a job. A lot of people sick of the internet too, and spend more time outside.

Musk buying Twitter and everywhere online becoming /pol/ lessened the need for /pol/ itself. People talk like how we do here on fucking Instagram with their full government names, no one cares anymore.
>>
>>537654796
That's what shocked me the most. Fucking hell, even old people on facebook come out with stuff on migrants which makes the average /pol/ poster look civil.

No joke. Spamming slurs and stuff is pretty tame to the shit people come out with on other sites. Whats worse is its with their full names and images. At least here we are shit talking to anons bar our flags. Looks proper bad seeing Ann absolutely shred Tom for being black.

>>537654796
Yeah, the entire internet is /pol/ now. Some trannies are still in denial about it though

I used to come to /pol/ for news not mentioned in the main and more often than not, it was legit or at least attempts to find legit sources. Now half of it is modified rage bait headlines to be even more rage baity. Twitter threads are the worst. Reverse image search most and you realise the anon fucking modified it.

The only thing /pol/ has now is anonymous posting and a free for all of nerds or shut ins to vent getting called retard in another thread or shitposting.

Recently they made the site slower for some reason. I see tripfags look different now, the light green code text behind their name looks like normal name text now, it's like they messed the code up somehow. They also removed ip counters for some reason.
