Youtube is declining. No new creators, nothing new being made, just the same old videos being recommended over and over again.

Twitch is a shadow of its former self. Downright depressing. Streamers feel more like chained slaves than people trying to have fun.

Twitter is declining. Just foreigners pushing AI generated bait for money, and devs constantly tweaking the algorithm to rub your nose in it despite claiming to be trying to stop it. Incredible stagnation.

4chan is declining. Too many dedicated schizos. Every topic has one asshole with infinite proxies and a government welfare check so that they can spend every waking moment ruining all discussion. Can't talk about anything without receiving insane unjustified hostility. Retarded purity spirals about trannies and jeets. Netanyahu injected into a discussion about vtubers or tabletop games.

Reddit was always shit. Web forums are long dead. There are no big, fun Discord servers anymore; the devs just want to secure the bag and cash out so everything has to be made G-rated, and safe for fags and brown people.

Everything feels slower, like all the people have left. Empty shopping mall energy everywhere. This is despite more people having internet access than ever before.

Is there some other platform that isn't like this? A platform with actual thought and discussion? Or has everyone been absorbed into the Tiktok brainrot vortex?

What's going on with the internet? Did everyone just go outside? I don't understand how the internet 20 years ago, with less than half the people and a fraction of the bandwidth, felt more vibrant than what we have today.

4. AI re interprets history after the winner wrote it

5. Light bulb cartel planned obsolescence

6. Sex havers can decide not to spawn the next generation of technology maintainers

7. Europe migrant soup

8. India getting access to the internet

9. AI can bypass any and all family friendly filters forcing governments to ban facebook and social media for kids and teens

10. EU is publishing articles on incels, EU is ruled by women

11. EU regulates, EU does not innovate

>Internet used to attract smart people

This is true. The first 'big' sites I used to hang out on back in the early 2000s were php-based forums dedicated to science & technology. Now there's basically just reddit and /g/ for such discussions. Reddit will just demean you for questioning their groupthink, and /g/ will just call you an Indian. Neither facilitate discussion.

>>539716531

This is only a very recent change though, and the decline has been obvious for years.

>>539716657

This is an internet-wide phenomenon though, not just 4chan and not just /pol/. But I understand what you're saying, and I suspect there are government and NGO funded efforts to prevent any such rebellion from the leftist orthodox by deliberately enshittifying discussion. Pic related.

>>539716227
here's the easy answer - the IQ of people on the internet has decreased over time as access has been made easier and then ubiquitous. The behavior follows from that. There's no fix.
>>
>>539717739
So the theory is that smart people stop contributing to online discourse if they perceive their audience is stupid? Shouldn't we also be seeing a flood of stupid people posting though? Doesn't seem like that's the case; it just seems like there's less activity overall despite having more people online. Perhaps it's just the ubiquitous algorithm filtering out the keyboard-pounding chimps from the feeds of the high IQ, such that the high IQ simply perceive less overall activity.

It's not the lying (although yes that is pathetic endemic and bad).
It is the Denial. It's the refusal to acknowledge that industrial society is actually dead. Right now.
Everyone keeps acting as though they've "got new video games to play" or what ever. That 'everything is fine'.
This is the 2nd-order cultural stagnation and rot, which is down stream from the main phenomena of global financial stagnation and retrograde, total corruption of all aspects (education-universities, governments, finance, business-corporations etc.) of the establishment in every western nation, the wars et cetera.
Global debt market is on brink of collapse. Degeneracy that you see is just a cultural-societal manifestation of the basic structure about to implode. Nothing is real or actually growing, thriving. It is all totally fake, and people in denial insisting:
>"N-no, life is still real!"

>>539720700
>And what have you made anonerino?
I made this thread. That's actually more than most people do nowadays. Most of the internet is geared towards passive consumption. Infinite scroll of content selected by an algorithm, no participatory experience except upboats and downboats.

A generation ago we broke that model with "the web", but we've discarded that in exchange for "the feed". A return to the television model of centralized distribution of narrative, except with a layer of obfuscation via an "algorithm" which nominally selects the most popular or fitting content, but in actual fact is just pushing what a multi-billion dollar company would prefer you see.

I think this shitshow is going to continue to slouch along for many years to come, but you've touched on something important: debt.

The internet has been centralized into massive companies that were only able to grow so large and absorb the rest of the internet through incurring massive debt, and now that the Boomers are retiring en masse, they want that debt paid back so they can fund their exorbitant lifestyles and end-of-life medical care. These companies need to start making a profit for once in their decades long existence, and so they're tightening the screws on their users in an effort to extract money and capture more of the economic surplus.

Enshittification of the user experience with ads and monetization, fewer features, less revenue share for creators, etc. Just more and more of the wealth generated being directed towards the holders of debt instead of towards those using the website. Literally drains the life out of the experience.

In fact, now is arguably the best time to start a new youtube channel. With adsense revenue in the shitter, existing creators are phoning it in and the algorithm is desperately pushing anything new.

You're not seeing new channels because people respond to incentives.

I mean... Are you going to do that test or admit you use an AI?
To answer your OP it's voluntarily done.
Since the "smartphone" internet is pandering to smartphone users. (the lowest denominator). Apple's success shows people like simple things. It's closer to the creation of idiocracy, where human laziness makes them develop a one-button solution to everything.
It's why every interface is being overtly simplified and everything is looking bland.
Smartphones forced the centralization of internet traffic.
In reality on internet you have 70% of the traffic that is going to be streaming platforms like netflix and youtube.
10% social media users. (mainly facebook and instagram)
10% gaming
5-10% web browsing (potential traffic for anything else)
10% cloud storage/online markets
the 5-10% of web browsing left is heavily regulated and made uninteresting to force people on large platforms
the internet was interesting when it was mainly Westerners, largely not monetized and not centralized

The internet is full of those spiteful retards who want white men extinct now. All good online communities are closed off and exclusive now. White men who create good content are hated and doxxed if they dont hate themselves. We don't owe these spiteful people good content.
Also, all these people come to the west who hate white men, how are they not aware that they're fully dependent on us? Their lives are paid by for us, their fake jobs are paid by for us, and yet their main goal is wanting us gone. Do you understand how much jealousy it takes for someone to want the person who pays for their entire life gone? How jealous can all these people who hate white men be? It must be intense. They must be angry every single time they have to see women of their race laughing at something funny a white man said, these are fucking losers. These people who hate white men, they are the most worthless jealous losers on the planet.

>I don't understand how the internet 20 years ago, with less than half the people and a fraction of the bandwidth, felt more vibrant than what we have today.
Smartphones. Back in the day everybody who accessed the Internet did so on a device with a full sized keyboard, a mouse and a large screen, meaning that they could all contribute in some way, whether writing at least somewhat well researched posts, or creating OC, even if it was in the form of some terrible drawing made in MS Paint it still felt sovlfvl.
Nowadays most of Internet traffic comes from mobile (including this place), and the problem with that is that on mobile you can't ever create anything of value, you can only give the most basic bitch one line reactions and post "W" and "L".
Smartphones are exclusively consumption devices, and the reason why things don't feels as vibrant today is because it is discouraging to make and post anything from a normal computer, as it just feels like whenever you do you're just going to be entertaining some normie audience who have never made anything noteworthy in their lives and yet feel incredibly entitled to your "content". They do not make or write anything, but are relentlessly critical still.
This is also why sometimes when you post something controversial in a seemingly relaxed environment they suddenly come out of the woodwork all triggered threatening to report you and get you banned for banalities, even though you weren't even aware of their existence previously. They watch, they react, they police, but they never actually contribute, only consume. And currently the balance between consumers and producers is completely off, which is why the Internet is a rotting corpse.
The third world also almost exclusively accesses the Internet via smartphones if you wish to blame them, but all this very much applies to Westerners, and especially zoomers.

That's the (OP) point. That is *why* YouTube, the internet is dead. Human civilization is dead. Western culture is dead.

They don't care if it's all a rehash of a remake of a photocopy, only that the sheep consume.

This is probably because they were abused by it when they were a part of it. But their contributions for what ever reason, the trannies censored them. They pushed the content creators away. Twitter is just a loosh farm, no actual discussion. I agree though. There is no real civilization anymore, we are just a collection of microtribes that are collectively ruled by the WEF Talmudic class that wants to replace us all with Indians. It's not a constitutional republic, it is a corporate oligarchy. We don't really have any say anymore. Our tax dollars are stolen to fund organized criminal Washington DC gangsters. So the overall stagnation is probably a reflection of the sinking power of the average person. We are not thriving outside the Internet so it reflects back onto the Internet
