This board sucks, like really bad. The average thread quality can't get past shitpost tier, and everything else is coom bait and bots spamming. What happened to turn it like this?
>>215248610Modern television and film is awful, so you could expect any discussion about it to be terrible as well.
>>2152486103 day vacations for replying to off topic threads during covid murdered this siteand then the jeets moved in for any leftovers
>>215248610Because RaleApe. He ordered jannies not to deal with spam or off topic threads. The sharty chat leaks revealed it all. It’s also why they killed the poster count. It’s the same spammers and namefag/gold accounts flooding low quality thread, samefagging etc,
>>215248610It was always shit, there were just more people around back then so occasionally you'd see something great. Now the time between those great moments is growing exponentially
>>215248610India got access to the internet.
Sure. Sure, Detective. Fuck it.
>>215249304What is his mindset for that shit? “Any traffic is better than no traffic”?
Well, Lieutenant, I suppose that’s just the natural order of things, isn’t it? Places like that, chaos is part of the charm, until it isn’t. People come in, chase their little thrills, and move on when it’s spent. Can’t say I blame them. Everything decays when too many hands start touching it. But surely you didn’t drag me in here to discuss internet culture, did you?
>>215248610
>>215248610Zoomies and POOjeets spamming AI and Chatgpt slop 24/7. This site is done for.
>>215250932Ah, you're right, sir, of course, entropy, yes, that's the word. Entropy. I wouldn't've thought you were familiar with the /tv/ 4chan board, though. You said earlier you didn't even go online much, too busy with your work, remember? Funny how you knew the, uh.... 'average thread quality', I think you said? Must've spent a bit of time there to form an opinion like that.
>>215248610Perhaps the endless racism, bait and outrage farming, whining about how everything is bad and if you disagree you’re a shill killed any real discussion and drove out all the people who actually had something positive to contribute to the website. Perhaps it’s time to look a bit to what you do here and why that might be the problem
>>215251287>Racism is LE BADcringe
I keep thinking this but I don't bother posting anything about it because the ton of bricks that would come down on my head worth of retards, contrarion fools who oppose anything diametrically in order to feel something from the argument, and general /pol/ tier sliding of threads instead of what was originally floated as the topic. I don't mind when a thread meanders into related topics, I've had tons of good recommendations here, and the fact everyone has a different film history means technically infinite recommendations. But Jesus Christ, engagement is at its best here for honesty compared to anywhere else on the internet because less faggot censorship (still some, Jannies are scum and should choke on their tongues for an efficient and minimal waste death) and it's still a fucking cesspool of people shit flinging and ad homineming when they could just leave the thread, make their own, God forbid actually watch something.
>>215251352AI slop is what pisses me off the most. You try and talk about a show or film and some 3rd worlder just turns up and starts spamming his dogshit AI slop.
>>215251382AI slop is definitely fucking painful to witness. It's like death of the Slade School of Fine Art image, but worse because it's actively growing like the Necromorphs in Dead Space. Just overtaking everything. I do wonder if there's some way to parametrize AI, like Pantheon style making it think it lives in a matrix of "Current Year" for old school aesthetics. But still, pattern recog means it's never quite the same.
>>215251293You are why we can't have nice things.
>>215248610thanks for your insight, kojak
>>215248610Just one more thing. You said the average thread quality can't get past shitpost tier, yet a cursory glance at this very thread confirms several replies that range from mildly amusing to downright witty. So here we are in this average thread that surpassed shitpost tier in less than, what... 20 posts? And if I'm not mistaken you already knew everything I've just told you because it was you that started the thread. So how do you explain that?
>>215251895Don't be retarded. The topic inspired that vein of thinking and it's a difficult one to bait into idpol shit. You know exactly why this thread has witty moments, it's the commiserations of old fags and young fags who have the nascent aspects of a soul.
Coomer posters should be offed.
>>215251436This site WAS nice until people like you showed up and started menstruating everywhere.
I wonder if the post-9/11 zoomers and Indian spambots know they’re on stolen millennial land. They should pay us in reparations.
>>215253020Every post should start with a land declaration. >I acknowledge that we are on the ancient and unceded territory of the Sh’tpostitux peoples.
>>215248645Bullshit. You can have an intelligent discussion about dogfarts if you tried to. But if you pair a group of retards up nothing they talk about will be anything more than retarded.
>>215251287Or simply the posting delays on captchas
>>215251287It's the shills doing that, moron. They go to paramount or WB or whatever and claim "mentions on social media" for every reply they don't care what is said. It's all a scam.
>>215248673Yep, just got a 3 day ten minutes ago. Jannies pls.
Where do the more intelligent and reasonable people go to discuss things online now? There used to be forums but those are mostly dead
>>215253250Discussion isn't for the intelligent anymore.
>>215253124>You can have an intelligent discussion about dogfarts if you tried to.Let's start then. How do you feel personally about dogfarts?
rampant shitposting left unchecked made the good posters go away
>>215253329We're still here. We're just shitposting more often than not. If you can't beat em, join em.
>>215248673Genuinely. Like you’re banning the bots but they can easily evade. Humans give up and go somewhere else
/pol/ was a mistake
>>215253319They're pretty much always way worse than I expect. I guess dog food does that. And i dont think ive ever heard one. Theyre always silent. Maybe because dogs dont have ass cheeks. But ive never had a dog before.
>>215248645which 21 year old youtuber told you that?
>>215248610the board reflects the state of the medium
>>215253593The only good thing about modern cinema is that it is now easy for me to be really high for every movie.
>>215248610The board, and the threads, are only as good or bad as we make them. For me, part of the fun is trying to be informative and entertaining about movies. But I do miss the old humor of years past.
>>215248610You’re a big guy.
>>215248610Zoomer newfags and third-worlders.
>>215253549>And i dont think ive ever heard one.you can hear it if the dog is on the right surface, my childhood kitchen had marble floors and you could always hear my dog fart, usually followed by a surprised yelp.
>>215254187Interesting. Do dogs know they fart? Why would it be surprised by it?
>>215248673I'd like to become a janny just to see what is the logic behind bans, how can some e-celeb thrads stay up for so long when replying to a 30+ misery thread often gets me a soft ban?Make Janny-4-a-Day happen japmoot!
>>215250872It is, quite literally, just to dupe advertisers into thinking a 4chan ad will reach more people than it actually does.
Omega oldfag here. Been on 4chan since 2007. /tv/ and all the popular boards have always been shit posts and pictures of women. You’re just being nostalgic
>>215254215Dogs are stupid, anon. Lovable morons, my dog once waited almost an entire afternoon next to a ladder because she saw the cat climb up onto the roof and didn't understand it did that all the time to get into the house through the sunroom.Having a dog in the countryside is the best as a kid though, that same dumbfuck dog once bayed off a pair of boars that were doing their ground-stomp thing at me when I was 11 although she did the same to a young fawn later that year, spent hours hounding it around a pool before it collapsed and drowned out of exhaustion, as an untrained hunting dog she had no restraint when encountering wildlife
I love Anthony but I can’t say that out loud :(
>>215248673Good times, good timesNothing more enjoyable than scoring yourself a 3 day compulsory vacation for posting in a semi-popular or dare I say "active" thread (an increasingly rare occurence these days) only for that thread to be retroactively deemed by <parties unknown> to have been off-topic and therefore all anons posting together in said thread must now take the same vacation together because after all this is all about community and togetherness at the heart of it all and so altogether now everyone can't post anymore but we can all watch the one person who CAN still post...... the OP of the thread of course, because shitposting as hard as you can while narrowly evading the banhammer yourself is an adrenaline-pumping rollercoaster of a ride, but being the creator of the thread that just got 100 random anons banned while you evade the ban yourself - not only would that be absolutely hilariious and immensely satisfying on a personal level but the dopamine rush alone must be without equal (to discover a rush is genuinely without equal one must of course first spend many years "chasing the dragon" in a futile attempt to equal a rush without equal) so anyway the endlessly amusing cat and mouse game that as a banhammered anon you get to watch (but not participate in) while wondering whether the OP is simply a seasoned ban-evading schizo superautist being pursued by hapless jannies and mods or whether that thread was simply one of many, many honeypots on this absolute minefield of a board that you just blundered into like the retard (You) are only to die over and over again in this infernal yet eternal Groundhog Day repeating loop you're stuck in that's just gonna keep going round and doing the same thing much like the proverbial flat circle or even the proverbial Shawshank Redemption only with more tunnelling through shit and no fuckin' redemption
It's because of spammers and poor moderation over the last 8 years.Also you already have your same thread here. The same thread made on multiple boards by the same bad actor(s) / unemployed spammers.>>215250761
