Has anything survived the great flooding happening for the last 20 years where everything has been infiltrated by NWZBT (normies, women, zoomers, boomers and thirdies)?
>>78275085It just occured to me that the acronym could be NWBTZ and sound like nubits
>>78275085usenet perhaps
>>78275085Nothing over a certain population threshold. The slower and smaller things survive out of sight, but everything notably interesting quickly becomes overrun by the subhuman hordes as soon as information about it spreads.
>>78275403If you want a living community while maintaining a tolerable non-normie userbase the only solution is some sort of gatekeeping. Access must be limited or made difficult somehow.The problem is of course it can easily become hugboxy and circlejerky.
>>78275486A high imvestment also helpsFor example things that take measurable skillThe fanbase however may still have a lot of pseuds and midwits nowadays (see the internet jazz commumity, those engineering youtubers doing dumb shit for views etc)
>>78275486>The problem is of course it can easily become hugboxy and circlejerky.that's not the problem, the problem is someone in charge needs more money, so they broaden the audience base which necessitates uprooting gatekeepers and turning the community into slop.
>>78275978its an actual dilemma, the truth is you either grow or you die. With no new members it becomes stagnate, there's no innovation and the original group slowly whittles away for various reason like dying, moving interests, not having as much free time anymore. Ideally you'd just have very slow growth, like a 1% increase in users ever year.
>>78276042>With no new members it becomes stagnate,gatekeepers doesn't stop new members, it stops trash from coming in. The new members are plenty stagnating. Selling out is way more common.
>>78275085some old niche game communities. but most once cool hobbys are gone now.
