>be me>see busy thread with lots of posts>post in it>thread diesWhy does this keep happening?
>>be me>>see thread with zero replies>>post in it>>thread explodes in popularity
>>84623631This happens to me and I think they are bot run threads that stop when humans start to engage.
>>84623631Yeah, those are bot threads as anon said>>84623652those are usually buried human threads that were going unnoticed, or in rare cases the first few replies are more engaging than the OP and it snowballs from there
>>84623682>>84623705Why would anyone make bots to come and talk about random stories on 4chan?
>>84623631all the threads on this board are shit, so keep up the good work fren
>>84623738fake engagement to make you think the website is active. A lot of them are shill threads. They post the same "memes" and scripts to push the threads to the top.
>>84623759For what purpose? To make the site look active and rake in ad money? Are advertisers really stupid enough to fall for this? I'd imagine they would have a way to determine whether engagement is real or fake like they do on Instagram or YouTube
>>84623767theyre schizos dont listen to them there are ZERO botted threadsDONT LISTEN TO THEM ITS ALL ORGANICno but seriously I just think sometimes you show up at the wrong time and make a boring post and it kills the thread, just how it goes. Reply to a dozen threads and you won't care if a few die.
