by my calculations, /pol/ will be dead by 2029. completely.
>>543923374it's already long dead, ever since the trump cult started their bullshit
i don't know why people like it when 4chan is busy, it's usually the worst retards and normies. a little less traffic is nice.
>>543923472coping
>>543923374What caused the collapse in late 2015?
>>543923472These are (were..) the busiest boards tho. All this (You Is IP Rangebanned Now Fuck Off) idiocy is decimating the site across the board(s).
>>543923374>/pol/ will be free of tourists by 2029thank god
>>543923374good, there's nothing good on this shithole anymore, 95% of users are shills, browns or retards, gamergate and the elections ruined the internet, ""they"" ruined it because it was too much powerful for the average person
>>543923472The board isn't dying because traffic is declining, it's dying because an increasing proportion of all posts made here are automated. The fact that overall post rate is declining faster than the automated post rate grows tells you the board is experiencing a mass discussion death since engagement through or around the bots is impossible. Only the fastest and most determined general threads manage to stay on the catalog long enough to run their course (and even then it's just retards shouting into the void), every other attempt at organic discussion is buried under automated reposts of clickbait articles and foreign intelligence propaganda.And yes, this decline is mostly sitewide since every high traffic board is drowning in botted shite, but nowhere else is getting it as bad as /pol/ or declining as quickly.
>>543923666>trying to force this meme that /pol/ isnt just bots>in 2026not gonna work
>>543923731>The fact that overall post rate is declining faster than the automated post rate grows tells you the board is experiencing a mass discussion death since engagement through or around the bots is impossible.truth
>>543923374Update:Nobody gives a shit!
>>543923567i want her to prosecute me
It seems you're trying to encourage everyone to leave, Cohen.
>>543923578>you must wait 900 seconds before posting>your ip is banned>close page
>>543923578>These are (were..) the busiest boards tho. All this (You Is IP Rangebanned Now Fuck Off) idiocy is decimating the site across the board(s).What is going on?I'm trying to make a normal post, staying on topic, on a fucking blue board (not some shitpost bait), then I'm trying to reply to someone other then I see:>You Is IP Rangebanned on every single board here.Without any further notification.It happened to me several times already.
>>543923567You mean late 2014? People left for Hotshit's infini chan when discussion of Gamergate was banned.
>>543923731i think people over estimate how much is automated, and i think as the site goes down in traffic it will be less useful to automate posts here. i think during the peak election times there were a lot of automated posts but now that traffic is down so much it's better to focus on facebook and instagram and so forth.
>>543924670Just quite being rangebanned, you fucking faggot.
>>543923374I wish /pol/ was like more reddit and randomly showing me things related to on the front page and pushing the same engagement bait botted stories.
>>543923374
>>543923374Just in time for 2030.
>>543923374good
>>543923374good. we're going home, brothers
>>543923374just in time for the great happening
>>543923374>put useless brown retard in charge of something>it goes to shita tale as old as time itself
>>543923374/pol/ died in 2015 when all the ledditors mass immigrated here and replaced the culture with their own like poojeets
>>543923374No, it will return to pre-Trump posting levels and then flatten out.
>>543923374They all got vaxed and died off
>>543923567>collapse 2015that was just the fuse lit 2012 was the threatexplosion was from 2020-2023 collapse is happening 2024 onwardsnot sure what else but 2030 is the next checkpointdeagel isnt wrong the timeline shifted more than once in order to obfuscate the plans and make it harder to predict
>>543923731HEAR HEAR
>>543924823if post automation exists it's happening all the time and probably set to the near maximum threshold the site can bear.
>>543923374that does not sleep which can eternal lieand with strange aeons even death may die
>>543923374The Age of Shitposting is coming to an end anons.We lived through the age of opportunity, a type of golden shitposting age if you will.In no previous time period could a man shitpost with such fervor and with such great ease.In the east communism kept people in strict order and behind an invisible firewall. Climbing up the hierarchy truly did require exception shitposting skills especially social ones. The communist block would see a brief glimpse of opportunity for 2 generations, yet it would also be plagued by western elites abusing the falling system for their gains.In the south the african ways have never changed. Shitposting is shunned and crushed by a violent R-selected collective. Reproduce fast, die young, even if external factors don't demand it their genes will drive them to idiocy.In the islamic world a more orderly violence remains but shitposting is still mostly hereditary or limited to truly exceptional individuals.In the far east with rare exceptions the asian blood demands obedience and limited creativity so shitposting is rare there. Perhaps Japan could be considered an exception but not for long. All of these people have some sort of reason to claim the conditions brought them down.But you, who lived in the West, you can truly say "we experienced an unprecedented age of freedom of expression and shitposting opportunities"That time is coming to an end. Years of shitposting recession are coming. Some say years of high austere measures will come with them, others claim a total clamp down on shitposting and non-approved speech due to the upcoming digital ID and surveillance bills. Either way there will be less opportunity to shitpost, all major platforms will be hit, censorship will rise, information of everything that was in abundance before will be limited if available at all. There will be less venues to shitpost and some anonymous venues like these (4chud), now deemed the pinnacle of shitposting, will become obsolete.
>>543923472This, /vg/ has the most posts by far and it is the worst most braindead reddit discussion you could imagine>muh endless vidyer incel nigger circlejerk>muh softcore gelbooru spam>muh quirky resident tripnigger cancer
>>543924229Yes.>>543924710Yes.
>>543923567Bot traffic no longer gets returns here. They moved on to reddit.
>>543923374You mean things will return to normal after the MAGA election tourists leave.
>>543924710>GamergateThe retarded Steve Bannon psyop. They were right to ban it and apparently he was right to shove it down everyone's throats.

>>543923374I'll still be here.
>>543926848It's higher when foreigners know there's an election coming up. Spikes around the presidential elections, and that's more foreign agencies than tourists.
>>543927995At least we know this guy is an authentic retard.
>>543923374I'd kinda like to buy low desu senpai
>>543923374it's cause the board is like 95% nonWhites from third world shitholes like india, yurop and latinx America
>>543923374Various cooldowns, captchas and network blocks make it difficult to post casually. Like when the page says it wants email confirmation for you to be able to post or wait 10 minutes.
>>543923731I hope you get raped in the ass
>>543923472Most posts come from Israel. India is fucking shit up too.We can do without their opinions+data mining.
>>543923472It's not just /pol/ though. Slower boards will have threads up for weeks or even months. There's a sweet spot between too-fast-to-follow and come back the next day and there's no new posts.
they even have "uncensored" right-wing pol-esque AI that you can ask questions that will give you much more insightful understanding of news events than here.
>>543923374do the chan toursome really weirdo image boards out therethis place still has the trafficbut the poopjeet invasion I think was the death blownobody wants to stay and fight the stinking shitskin poopjeet jamboys
>>543929036>nobody wants to stay and fight the stinking shitskin poopjeet jamboysHERE IS THE TOOLUSE IT MAD LADSFOCUS ON TOP LEVEL THREADSJANNIES DONT DO SHIT UNTIL MULTIPLE PEOPLE REPORT A POST
>>543928988Trump winning and Biden winning were insane
>>543929071Bro I have reported interracial porn spam and had it stay up for 18 hours
I remember when the /b catalog wouldnt last longer than 4 hours, now its 2+ days
>>543923374Um anon, bearish trends like that give way for green dildos when youre inevitably btfo by clankers spoofing traffic to levels only circumstantially relatable to dead people voting bidenBut with ai tools, theyll be spoofing normies from all the free metadata floating around, its only a matter of time before project lazerus becomes commonplace if not already
>>543923472On /dbt/ we filter out the /n/obike pretty easilyOur's is a problem of discord trannies trying to subvert traffic into their circlejerk, and a javascript jihad against some automated thread baker
>>543923374>30k posts a day>threads frequently have 30 posts by this idea>that person probably arguing in several threads a day or ~100 posts/day>combined with filthy causals means there are probably ~200 frequent posters here this place is already dead
>>543929071If we can automate bots to flood the board with spam, one day we will have the T9000 of clanker jannies pruning unworthy threadsBut even that office will be corrupted with censorship, i guarantee it if that happens thats the last we get informative posts and just borderline leaky faucet type disclosures which remain vague and senselessSoon, the only winning move will be not to play, with technology and social media in general; full luddite stop, ironically
>>543929236I remember when it wouldnt last longet than an hour or 30 mins during peak summerfag hours
>>543929175here is the trick to get porn whacked1 - has to be op level 2 - nobody cares inside a thread3 - has to be explicit porn dicks pussies boobies etc4 - clik feedback link at bottom of page5 - pick category bug report6 - use this titlePORN CLEANUP IN /POL/ PLEASE7 - text something like thisPLEASE DELETE THIS PORN THREAD AND BAN EVERYBODY THAT REPLIED4CHAN HAS 7 PORN FORUMS PLEASE KEEP THAT SHIT OUT OF /POL/8 - yes I have done this dozens of times over the years and surprise within 10-15 minutes the thread gets whacked top kek
>>543929071Half the /pol/ catalogue is off topic crap posted by bots to slide the good threads. Reporting does nothing.
