It feels so dead lately..
>>39245362It feels dead because there are so many posts but nothing of worth being said.
>>39245362>It feels so dead lately..You should see the other chans lol
>>39245362the new 15min wait to enter captchas kills it
Dead internet theory bot servers are fail
All the halloween tourists are gone and people are busy with mundane school/work stuff before the holidays come up. /pol/ is still entertaining themselves with all the salt mining - it won't be until some weird world event that they don't like happens that some of them will drift back over here to discuss conspiracies too schizo for their board.But the real reason is that November is associated with the number nine in the traditional calendar, the hermit, going inward, reflecting on the gradual decay of all things before the noise of the festive season pulls you back into the world for another cycle
>>39245493It's so annoying
>>39245503mossad hq got hit 2 months ago it correlates. the day it got it everything here mostly died.
>>39245362Used to post more on here. I stopped a few months ago since I haven’t had anything paranormal worth discussing. I am lurking though and I notice the same phenomenon. Something happened a little before the election. Things have gone quiet…
In the long term I do wonder if alfies will take to 4chan/imageboards at all. Obviously millennials were into it because it was a product of our youth culture, and zoomers joined in because it was the one major social media platform where you could say really out of pocket shit in an era defined by ever increasing censorship & tone policing. but i dunno what alphas are into. They're probably still in the stage of just using Roblox or whatever they're equivalent of runescape or club penguin is as their primary social media platform
>>39245847>>39245957The days of comfy internet are gone, even mainstream sources acknowledge like 2/3 of all activity on the Internet are bots (I forget the exact figure I heard). Not to mention the other types of beings that may be lurking the millions of miles of Ethernet cables and other infrastructure and associated immaterial dimensions..
>>39245362a lot of those posts are probably just from the Nobody general, the rest are spread thin across hundreds of threads and there is barely any real discussion taking place. board is dying, in fact the whole site is dying and slowing down significantly. 4chan is a relic of an older internet that doesn't exist anymore. the last saloon to close in the dying days of the wild west. the tail end of a party and all the guests are starting to leave - there's a few drunkards stunk in conversations (/ng/), and the rest of us are stragglers just waiting for our ride to come. you get the picture.
The whole internet is winding down because there's not enough time anymore.The days have been shortened, they just rush by, people don't have time to spend making a plethora of internet comments, they either give up or just make a few.End times shortening of time itself.Matthew 24:22“And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.”
>>39245362Your crush is out there living her life and enjoying the autumn, going out with friends, socializing, having fun, making memories, forging meaningful connections and getting ahead in life. While you are here shitposting about paranormal bullshit on a beautiful autumn's weekend. Any last words anon before you inevitably end it?
>>39245362posts are numbered and cross reference.....>>39250362this one was 5000 posts after yours, lets check the time code
>>39247390e-gads, it hasnt occured yet if one prematurely links a post that hasnt occured yet will said post update when said post post is posted?
>>39245362a large number of posts are bots or shills working from a script
christfags
That's 208 post/h or 2 posts/min./pol/ has like 500-600 posts/min.Compared to other boards, it's faster, but compared to faster boards, like /pol/, it's much slower.>>39245478I mean, barely anyone knows of them. Even lainchan has probably only like 1 single post/h. And because no one knows of them, no one posts on them, because there is nothing of value there, which, in turns, creates a negative feedback loop.
>>39249438*3 posts/h.
>>39249445*/min.Really screwed up that one lol
>>39247371Yes. Kill yourself faggot. "Crushes" are for children. I have a Son and no need for the company of some used up hole.
>>39247272I shouldn't hate the nobody general as much as I do. I saw one was up to 700 post recently. I scrolled through and couldn't find a single meaningful post, might as well be a bunch of monkeys banging on their keyboards
it is dead. no one post or answer at anything
>>39250547It's a pasta, I remember someone posting it back in September with "summer" instead of "autumn" & I told him he'd have to update it soon>>39250563Mixed feelings. To me it obv doesn't have substantive conversations going on, or even a coherent aesthetic that I can vibe with. But the people who participate in it seem to be getting something out of it. But also the people who participate in it seem to be totally detached from the rest of /x/, and it's weird that there's so much completely siloed off energy contained in that general. I have no idea where those people come from, they mostly don't come off like they participate in other threads here
>>39252339Ah, ok lol.I know there is a supposedly pretty large discord group associated with it, along with some central "figureheads" whom I know nothing about other than that. I've heard it called a cult before. I suspect there is some overlap there with the forced 'ben' meme.
>>39245493>>39245852does an excellent job of filtering the phone posters and the browns. they never post content anyway
>>39245362I sometimes have a suspicion that social media websites are way larger than they seem to be, but everyone is siloed into a small personalized fragment of it so that not only are they only getting recommended content based on what they talk about and interact with, but they're only even *allowed to see* content based on what they talk about interact with.That would go some way to explaining some especially spooky synchronicity and hivemind observations. Whenever you think of and talk about something that seems to totally new to you, it suddenly seems like everyone knows about it and has always known about it, not because of a frequency illusion or anything supernatural, but because an algorithm has decided to expand your allowed fragment of the internet to include all the people who are already talking about the thing that you just thought to talk about.
>>39252559*new to you and it suddenly *known about it, this happens
>>39252559I wouldnt know, I haven't been on any socialedia in years. I'm starting to think dead internet theory is correct tho. Look at this post for instance >>39252019 I checked the YouTube page which supposedly has around 200k subs yet gets no interaction, is al AI generated and promoting obscure flavors and flat earth nonsense .. I'm seeing more and more of these channels lately, All AI content with a very large gap between supposed reach and actual engagement...
>>39252586I count 4chan as a social medium.And yeah AI content has been exploding for a while now. I remember around maybe 2021 watching Google search results get flooded with undeniably AI-generated websites, and over time I've noticed fewer of them, but I doubt it's because they're actually are fewer of them. They're just better and better at mimicking genuine content. So ever since I first started noticing it I often include "before:2020" in my search in an effort to sift that stuff out.
>>39252622I also wonder if the dates of videos are altered sometimes and presented as new to me when in fact they aren't, since that would explain cases where I've looked up something fairly obscure inspired by something I noticed IRL and then immediately after had one or more of the channels I subscribe to on youtube come out with a video relevant to that topic.
>>39252664It's as if the internet algorithms have been arranged to persuade me to believe that the Law of Attraction idea is objectively true in an almost creepy way, except that I'm not convinced it's true outside of the internet because in real life that stuff has never worked for me and I never noticed that sort of thing online etiher until the past few years.
>>39252709>that the Law of Attraction idea is objectively trueThat stupid fake idea has been around for over 100 yearsIt's so funny that people hear about it and think it's something new and mysterious
>>39245362Half of it are my posts bashing christcucks and joos.
>>39247398>if one prematurely links a post that hasnt occured yet will said post update when said post post is posted?it seems it dose>>39245362op, the numbered post exactly 5000 posts after your 17:39 time code post on saturday occured at 18:11 sunday. the statistic holds quite well.now as to the humanity of those 5000 posts... well color me skeptical
>>39245362Death gives itself up to life, and life gives itself up to death. The cycle cannot be broken or controlled, it can only be admired for its authenticity.
>>39253257I wasn't alive 100 years ago, so it's new to me.
>>39253389lol this chat bot cant recognize images or thread titles ><
>>39245362Yes, but roughly half of them are literally from the nobody general threads.
>>39252339Most of this board’s memes come from that thread, most of this boards post come from that thread, most of the topics in the catalog are started by conversations that spin off from that thread.
>>39246000CheckedI honestly think 4chan's user interface will filter them out. Also this site isn't as relevant as it was even 5 years ago, I think it'll probably be just a slow decline from here
>>39245362Just speaking from experience, /pol/ threads would last 5 hours, maybe 6 hours at the most just a year ago. 3 hours a few years ago, especially during lockdown.Now it happens occasionally that I wake up, take a shit, browse on the bog and see a thread I discarded as boring 12 hours earlier still active with less than 200 replies.This was before the antispam measures btw./pw/ had tonnes of threads drop off the board after a few hours as people kept making new threads, but now? 2-day old threads are common. Even had a Badass Weekend thread that lasted more than 1 entire week mmmm.I wonder if Trump's victory has anything to do with that on a spiritual or paranormal level.Feels like it made shills give up. Almost two weeks later and they're still not back.
>>39254185You are probably on to something about most of the shills giving up. I've noticed that /x/ seems to be a lot more organic than it used to be, which is a good thing and a bad thing. Good because it means less shill faggotry, bad because it means less posts. Overall, a positive change.
>>39254073Yes which is why 60% of the other threads are filled with comments that always follow the same pattern of "man I dislike xyz about /x/ especially that /ng/ gen for example."
>>39254034Which is all just schizo posting as far as I can tellinb4 this whole board is
>>39254146If you've been on an oldschool php forum, it's almost entirely literal boomers & older GenXers. Part of me thinks imageboards (and Reddit) will be the same thing for millennials & zoomers - although apparently teenagers who weren't even alive in the early 00s are now into making geocities-style personal webzones, so maybe they'll have some kind of pretend nostalgia for imageboard culture just like zoomers have a pretend nostalgia for the 80s.It's interesting how some social media platforms (like youtube) are able to persist because the emphasis is more on it just being a content hosting platform, whereas social media platforms that cultivate a distinct internal vibe (like 4chan) seem doomed to become associated with a particular generation.
