4chan is dying, if not considered dead already, and so is anonymous internet culture on every part of the internet.
The capital "I" Internet should never have been released beyond the US and the Western world.
>>5969861Proof?
>>5969861Bots and shills make up about two-thirds of the daily posts on this site, while the remaining third of actual humans has been overrun by people who either don’t care or don’t belong here.
>>5969877>Bots and shills make up about two-thirds of the daily posts on this sitethe 4chan staff knows and encourages this
>>5969861at this point I think it's definitely dead,the internet in general feels dead to be honest, so much ai garbage, and garbage in general. I really only have a few places I go to for enjoyment on the internet anymore, I think I'm only gonna start only checking up on 4chan every few weeks or so now
>>5969960Where else do you go?
>>5969861>anonymous internet culturei don't care the slightest fuck about that. the only purpose that 4chan has served for humanity is unfiltered international discussion between anons. all the memes and shit are just a funny side effect, and at times even a necessary means to push forward the discussion (like the npc meme, all tranny memes, hyperborea and sigma edits) and shield against shills (like glowie meme, echo parens, whos), but it certainly is nothing worth preserving on its own (only exception being gondolas perhaps). and i don't know the current state of affairs, but if half of 4chan posters are actually llm bots, then 4chan has lost every right to existence anyway, which is a shame, but only because that particular space of discourse is lost, not because its culture is dying with it.
>>5969861As long as there is no literal reset of the Internet and there are no more countries trying to make laws that gatekeep people from using it without a digital/uploading a physical ID card, we will be fine.
>>5969983One quarter of anons are also shills, BBCspammer transvestites, and obvious glowies actively posting on 4chan that make irrelevant "woman topic" threads 35+ times a day. You see them more often on the rotten containment boards like /r9k/ the special education classroom, /adv/ the redditard normalfaggot space where everyone literally copy-pastes platitudes from retarded alien website(tm), and of course /lgbt/ where 35 year old manchildren LARP as cute anime girls in middle school, starting first with their OP pics being chibi characters made by female (biological woman) artists.
>>5969979NTA
>>5969979regularly, really only youtube and 4chan to be honest, I occasionally visit endchan. apart from that I guess I just surf the web, looking into interesting stuff I see or just pops into my head. also I used to use telegram a fair bit, mainly right-wing or adjacent channels.
>>59698614chan isn't dead you defeatism spewing crybaby. It has a massive user base and its one of the last true bastions of freedom of speech on the web.
>>5969861>>5969996>>5969960God stop your whining. As someone who started browsing this site in 2006, "b" was never good.This site has always been majority shitposts with some absolute gems of discussion sprinkled in. You've always had to sift threw the shit to find the gold.I think the reason 4chan isn't quite as energized now as it was before was because millenials in the early 2000s were still optimistic about the future and life in general but now that 4chan is majority Gen Z the culture has shifted from hive-minded manic sadism to a bunch of low energy, dopey-mopey, depressed pussies bitches. Once the spastic memelords known as Gen A start posting here in serious numbers, I think things will change once again.
>>5969861t. 2010 Newfag; I'd say some boards are much more shit than they used to be (/pol/ for one), as well as either heavily astroturfed by bots, or shills to a much greater extent than the past. Normies flooding a lot of the internet in the early 10s pushed a lot of retards here which messed the place up a bit too in terms of shitting on anime and manga more than it ought to have (considering this is a mongolian baskeat weaving site after all)./b/ was always shit, /wsg/ still feels like old chinz so i just browse here mostly (and /pol/ even though I fucking hate that board). /v/ is full of gacha slop or fotm streamer shit. /ck/ is still good for a laugh, and /vt/ make me want to kill myself (but i still browse it).Is 4chan kill? Dunno, the blackout a few months back made me (and a lot of other anons) realise how shit this place is, but then again we're all still here posting so who knows. Old chins is pretty much dead, and died a long fucking time ago, but as a place to just shitpost and discuss world afairs in a open way there's probably no better place desu. >inb4 kys
>>5970132I can't really say because I haven't been here as of much late but hasn't /wsg/ become more and more slow over the years?
>>5970138I mean, most of the boards seem slower than they were 10 years ago either way. But yeah, /wsg/ isn't as fast as it used to be either, but then again some of the older parasocial threads that brought a fair amount of traffic here have vanished. Being a parasocial faggot isn't as stigamitised as it once was, so guessing they moved on to other boards.
>>5969861>anonymousAnonymous?
>>5970119good points anon, I like the generation theory you have
>>5969861why did boomers obsess over this animation?
>>5969998nhnb mentioned!
i think the website is dwindling in both influence and traffic for a lot of reasons. this place is poorly managed as we saw earlier this year, which im sure broke many peoples routines of coming here, and from the greater marketshare mobile use has in the online space. desktop computers are not as ubiquitous as they once were, a lot of traffic comes from mobile and 4chan not having a mobile option makes it obtuse to use for a generation that predominantly accesses the internet through mobile. it is a 20 year old website though, things cannot remain static forever.
>4chan is blah blah blahyeah, whatever. I'm just pissed that I can't celebrate 9/11 on /f/ anymore and I need to go to one of the most r/4chan boards there are
>>5971054Would we really want more traffic though? Look at the rest of the internet
>>59698614chan has been dead for like 10 years now. Name one new meme that has come from here in that time. The absolute ultimate shame was at one point the place real anons were going and getting shit done was on r*ddit of all places back when we were creating 50,000 new subreddits and they were closing them down almost as fast.
>>5971332Plapjak was kino even though I hate jaks normally
>>5969870jersh is that you?
>>5971339>citing another fucking wojak variant as a "new" memeThis is just depressing.
>>5969861>>5969870Flash as videos, really grim.
