i like to play with my poop and smear it on myself while watch tv and stick it back up my butt

people only engage ragebait and foid threads. the board is actually totally dead without that stuff. might as well swim with the current

>>84383657
The rangebans, inconvenient captchas, and schizophrenic jannying drove everyone but the retarded third worlders away

>>84383657
A lot of Millennials killed themselves or moved on from internet coping. A lot of Zoomers have already gone psychotic or are busy fucking up their lives in other ways. Also I've noticed people using mainstream social media and streamers as a parasocial cope is at a all time high. This place isn't as addictive for that. I know complete disgusting mongeloid fat dorks that will have 50 people on twitch watching them fart and play video games with an occasional unfunny comment. We're reaching peak dystopia. People are out of their minds and don't know how to handle the social isolation.

>>84383678
This.
The captchas are dogshit and ever changing.
And more and more people are getting temp range bans where the only way to get past them is verify your e-mail.

The jannying never improved post hack either.
People are just tired and deem 4chan not worth it anymore to visit and post.
Remember as well, a few days ago we had two days where the site was near unusable due to loading/posting problems.

>>84383657
I'm convinced we're living in the dark ages of 4chan. Hopefully one day, this place will experience a Renaissance and a new golden age. But realistically, it's all downhill from here.

>>84383766
The dark she already begun during COVID.
This is just the death breathing before the actual death.
Unfortunately, a lot of people still pay the bills through ads and the occasional pass user, so the death is really a medical coma for right now.

Chuckit of Sneedin'

Incompetent moderation.

It was a predictable outcome, nobody comes here for the shitty homosexual spam and retards blogging, but what happens when that makes up most of the catalog? people simply leave and don't come back.

The captchas contributed, but in the end people never return because they have no reason to.

>>84383657
Lots of people who used to post on the site have killed themselves. There's probably anons you posted with here last year who aren't alive anymore, and others you're posting with right now who won't be here by this time next year.

>>84383821
I'm stubborn and enjoy my life, I've just come back to see what's up and vent in the corpse. I've been here since 2012. Yeah, fresher than any of the OGs but I've been here when shit was good.

>>84383657
They don't allow blacked/bnwo threads even though it's not against the rules

>>84383657
On this board?
Most of the threads can't pass my filters because they're retarded
So there's not much I can see to reply to

>>84383709

Maybe the site is slowly being killed off on purpose by glowies.

>>84383907
The site is majority glowies on a slow day at work. It's easy money, but I'm sure they're bored running the same damn bots over and over again too.

what the fuck kek
i never figured that out (obvious brainlet), that's fucking amazing

>did all the neets finally get jobs and gfs?
i assume they all just moved elsewhere
this place is a shithole for several different reasons and no one's really doing anything to improve it
those of us who stay behind do so out of habit but it's only a matter of time until we find somewhere else to infest
also there's not a lot of variety, it's usually either gender wars, porn threads, political/racist ragebait, "teehee girl here", or a mix of those
hard to stay in a place where everything is the same old and there isn't much to say or do about it all

>>84383657
i stopped coming here regularly sometime after 2020.
you could just tell way too many normalfaggots were infesting every inch of the Internet (not to say /r9k/ was devoid of normalfags before)
it just became unusable.
i just began using the Internet less.

>>84383907
I've suspected the 4chan staff are killing the site themselves so they can quietly pull the plug and go "see its bad not my problem we gotta put her down".
Lord knows the site is a massive sinkhole and burden to run.
It's either that or age verification worldwide will kill 4chan because 4chan will block any country who goes for that dumb shit instead of implementing age verification. No one here, no ads clicked, no ad revenue, no 4chan.

>>84383786
It went dark around 2015 (when moot sold) and 2016 (elections). Might even want to go back to 2014 as the start with GG bullshit.

>>84383664
that's disgusting, you sick freak, you should be ashamed
Imagine what your parents would think if they knew you posted this? You need to reconsider your life choices, friend!
I'm going to break into your house clad in a tyvek suit and a full face respirator, carrying a finishing hammer, which I will use to bludgeon you to death, starting from your extremities and working my way in until your whole body is a broken mess of bruise and splintered bone, like a roadkilled racoon.
then I will burn your house down, strip off my soiled ppe, and toss it into the inferno
then I will shower three times in a row, wash my mouth out, clip my nails, brush my hair and trim my facial hair, and wipe myself down with 70% isopropanol and then I'm gonna fucking kill myself so I can follow you to hell (suicide is a sin), and do it all again for eternity down there
FUCK YOU

I miss when this board was >greentext copypastas.

Too lazy to find the image of the lemonade stands where the wahhh incel shit is booming and the tard stories stand is the waiting skeleton.

/r9k/ used to be "Gentleman's /b/" but now it's just /b/ without the literal shitposting.

>>84383657
I think in general its your guy's attitude that drives people away. Some of you are extremely vile 24/7 its like to thrive in shitting on people

>>84384065
I feel the same way about jesus tbph desu.

>>84383657
>community for Millennials loses popularity as Millennials age out of its juvenile humor and Zoomers fail to assimilate into the culture
many such cases

I think the captcha is filtering retards. /r9k/ is a low iq board after all

What are you comparing it to? /r9k/ is a fast board. It's way faster than it was before. Might as well say China is collapsing because they have such a small population. It's nonsensical.

>>84383790
Only good reply itt to be tbqhwyfam with you famalam

Mainly the captcha filtered the brainlets. We still get multiple threads a day about anons complaining how the simplest odd-one-out is too hard for them. Meanwhile, the rest of us either get that captcha or got all of them correct it tells us verification isn't required.

Oh, a lot of the foids got bfs and supposedly a few got married.

its overrun by the same handful of schizos and namefags that scare away the real posters

Too much /pol/cancer killing it just like it does with all the other boards it spreads to. /pol/ acts exactly as cancer.

>>84384577
>way faster than it was before
Look at 4stats.io. 2018 had 2.5x as many posts, it's only gotten slower since.

>>84384325
that's part of the problem, but it's always been like that, dealing with antisocial people is the downside of an anonymous board.

I think it's mainly generational change, millennials are getting old and moving on, and there's not enough zoomers coming in to replace them. imageboards are old-fashioned and everyone's on other platforms like discord or xitter or tiktok or whatever else
