Is it just me or are threads getting slower and the bait threads (or off topic) threads just tend to get a lot of bot/"schizo" posting? feels like /v/ is dying and nobody is noticing

I just noticed a lot of people on /v/ have trouble reading context or sarcasm. It can't all be bots, right?

The number of users has been declining for a while, but that should be seen as a good thing overall. Ignore the obvious shitpost threads, starve them out.

It should be a good thing, but the problem is it isn't the mentally ill posters that are leaving

Nobody is playing anything any more. /v/ got really lazy. Like it's tiresome to even share stuff here when I can go to an autism discord and there's like 1000 times more focused discussion. I know good players are lurking, just feels like they are posting less and less and threads feel more like tard wrangling than fun discussion. Like you've got people that think they are genuinely "helping" by making a billion bait threads.

I've been called a bot on occasion but always by the absolute stone dumbest motherfuckers you can imagine. It's on track to becoming the next canned insult, hollowed out of all meaning.

>>732168330
To this day I'm still not sure if banning the threads where people would just stream the games they were playing was a good idea or not. Probably was but I remember having a lot of fun playing the DS Castlevanias and Megaman Zero games and then discussing them in the threads

Hey fellas. I occasionally say hi to anons who are genuine and seem pretty chill. Would you be interested in joining a group I made? It centers around /a/ and /v/ stuff. I felt that genuine conversations on 4chan were getting harder and harder to find, and that's why I made the group. If you're interested, you can take a look here.

It is, it leads to drama and nothing is stopping you from making a webm or uploading something to streamable. If you want to see how bad making yourself publicly known on 4chan can get just look at /fgg/. I don't think anything good has ever come from organizing public events on 4chan, even party/v/an is pretty degenerate.

I think there is just too much emphasis on forever threads and getting as many (You)s as possible, just say what you want to say and show what you want to show and if the thread only gets 3 replies its whatever. There is so much spam I think people are pressured to make generals.

Yes /v/ is dying. honestly I say they should just deal the killing blow and split it up into a gajillion "genre" boards. It did wonders for /vrpg/ which is actually a decent place to talk about vidya, especially vidya that isn't currently trending. I don't think board activity is all that valuable especially when you consider the fact that 90% of traffic is shitposters and general bad actors, like >>732168153 implies less activity -> less retards treating this place a general social media dumping ground -> more passionate vidya discussion

4chan's population has been permanently down ever since the hack. Every board has been losing users because they simply found somewhere else better to be or just quit entirely because the quality on 4chan is so low now due to the debt of schizos and mentally ill people out number the normal people. When it's all crazy people talking, whats the point in posting normal content?

/v/ didn't exist before I was born. And I've been here more than long enough to tell you that underaged posters always accuse others of what they themselves are guilty of.

Nah. If you enjoy generals so much why not put them on /vg/? It's the same thread right? Same cozy uwu cuddlecore community right? So keep it there instead of bloating /v/ with AI social media generals, you retarded underaged faggot.
>>
>>732167707
Well, we have always had tons of insanely off topic posting that could be immediately be fixed significantly by introducing blue /b/, so there's a vested interest in keeping /v/ shit as possible for some reason.
At the moment, current events are making things crazier as they tend to.
Epstein files for instance, mostly not vidya.
The kotick emails, vidya. Hell to moderate.
Moot being in them, site wide meltdown to anyone who still cares, Streisand effect results almost certainly.

/v/ is dying because they want "gamers" to be controlled because they realize "gamers" includes most of the younger generations at this point.
Be a "light" in the "darkness" and keep posting whatever fun shit comes to mind, but dont be surprised when this place finally collapses for real
>>
>>732170236
Had lots of fun posting about Avowed on there during my playthrough and some after.
You really can tell who actually plays vidya and who is an unironic paid epstein network shill.
But even on /v/ it had good threads after the week of paid pedonazi network anti shitposters moved to the next le wokey thing to spam and shit on.
>>
tbf one thing that i'd admit that somehow other people don't is that some /vg/ threads are good. not all but some /vg/ threads have less schizos than the /v/ one at times.

Epstein certainly had a hand in modern 4chan culture and since he was the elite of elites, young niggas who want to feel edgy don't come here anymore and all of the more woke oldheads left because there isn't really much here to yap about.

Some games, or rather some genres work for eternal general threads. The vast majority of games and series do not. We could never figure out the difference resulting in the creation of /vg/. I may be in the minority in thinking that the more fractured and segregated into narrow sub-communities this site becomes, the more stagnant and soulless it gets.

Fucking years of every real poster yelling how /pol/ is ruining the site and never gets moderated while flodding every other board like roaches.
Finally we know without doubt that this was on purpose by the entire epstein banon neonazi RETARD frogposter pedos.

I don't think they all left to altchans (though some on specific boards like /vg/ and the vtumors did last I saw/heard), I just think they largely just fucked off.

You dont just simply fuck off from a chan all together. We're here because to some extent, we all value being anon and just saying whatever the fuck we feel like. You cant call someone a faggot cocksucker on reddit or any other dogshit faggot forum.

Like the rate of people actually quitting chans altogether is probably less than 3% of all users that have stayed longer than a year.
>>
>>732173205
It might really be bots. They all fucked off to twitter because of how little influence 4chan has on greater internet meme culture and it's quite hard to monetize being an anon anyways (Which makes it harder to use subtle patreon bribes)

The speed isn't the problem.
/v/ is a hollow corpse.
0 OC, 0 discussion that actually originates here.
The main culprits are the moderation, just a slow and steady process of deleting good threads while allowing trash to archive normally.
All you can do is repost maymays from 10 years ago.

there's two options: either they let specific pet anons ruin threads day in and day out and ban people who argue with them
or they themselves are that person, and the first option doesn't make any sense at all.
I saw one brag about how he 'epic baited' someone into an argument and a vacation and then proceeded to spam the thread until it died while the other anon was indeed banned. You'll never convince me it's not them now

Third worlders and zoomers literally do not know how to shitpost. It makes every thread routine and boring. The heart and soul of shitposting and trolling is apathy. You are selective, you curate your opportunities. You don’t post the same faggot shit every single day and endlessly reply to one specific fag that makes you mad for an entire thread to le epic get le last word in like an obsessive femoid or weepy drunkard. It’s insanely boring. So many threads and topics have some dedicated schizo and guess what, they are all the same.

To be purely selfish pilled what benefit do you even get from being an archetypical 4chan dwelling turbo chud anyways. You are either associated with dumb retarded zoomers with brocolli heads, dumber boomers that are spooked out by virtually everything or millennial/gen xers who piss their pants over their marvel slop movies having woke shit in it. You don't even get a house or free shit from it either unlike say being a commie and everything is expensive and women also don't want to fuck you either.

Its not just /v/ its the whole site. Threads on /b/ can now last as long as 2-3 days depending on the topic. This would have been crazy to see back during the peak popularity days of 4chan. The board is nothing but porn, shit log, socials, and just bot spam all day long. That genuine random funny feel you would get from old /b/ has been dead for awhile. And the site itself as a whole hasn't really been all that good for many years.

The leaks seem to be proving that /pol/ very well did seem to destroy this website over time. It just took many years for enough anons to finally notice.

Anons can post about how X or Y thing is killing 4chan and pondering how to reverse it but the core issue is bad moderation.
To use a metaphor old 4chan would be like a convention where people get together to talk about hobbies, the staff do their job and remove bad actors and generally encourage discussion.
Nowadays its still a convention, but with barely any attendees, no staff, several homeless people barging into to shit and piss everywhere, and any time a staff member drops by to check on the convention they kick out normal attendees instead of the crazy homeless guy.

People started using jeet as an insult online once it became clear how much shilling was being done by them. It's basically the same as calling someone a shill and a retard rolled up into one.

>>732179149
I see posts like this and it depresses me, because people love to discuss this fabled golden age of /v/ where there was no shitposting or hornyposting and moderation was robust and kept threads high quality and on-topic. I've been posting on 4chan since 2005. I remember /b/ with videogames, I remember through dick unity, I remember MORE off topic bullshit but less bitterness and cynicism, but I must have somehow missed the one week you all remember when /v/ was this enlightened bastion of pure vidya discourse that would put all these "coomers" to shame.
