Is the internet dying?Anyone notice how major sites have seen a decrease in activity in the past few years? On 4chan, you can see a drop in overall post rates across major boards and it's very prominent on reddit also. Even on youtube, less new OC is being created and internet culture is moving slower. The only exception is X.com, due to liberalizing the rules, but even that may not last forever
facebook, tumblr, MAL forums are also complaining from what i've seen.
>>39470286Does Discord ever post their stats? Im possitive that zoomies or gen alpha or whoever the newfags are these days are all jumping into there first thing, never branching into anything else.
>>39470331I go to my anime list a lot but never signed up.
>>39470286Reddit died when they censored half the countries political opinions. There is no reason to talk in the echo chamber anymore, the only allowed content is a repeat of the same memes and phrases.
It's because I'm the nobody and I am too bored now to contribute to the collective unconscious
>>39470486idk. It's worth investigating. From experience, many big servers i was in since 2020 are stagnating and just feel stale now.
>>39470549bitch reddit is even more of a nazi-filled hate-fest than 4chan these days, you must have some seriously fucked politics
>>39470685Why you lying?
>>39470685Lol my local plebbit for my flyover city of 15k people is the most leftist echo chamber on Earth. They were all crying in shock and awe when Trump won the election asking how it was possible.
>>39470286People are dying from the shots.More dead people.Less active posters.
>especially compared to 2016-2019Unironically, it was the vax die off. Hundreds of millions of people have already died. We've been keeping up the fragile facade of normalcy, but the cracks are starting to show.

>>39472041I waited until Israel stated that Vaccine they were going to use and went for that one, it’s UberMensch serum made from the blueprints set out by Otto Ambros during the second world war. They couldn’t secure funding for mass production unless they created Covid-19. The oversight is that the serum was sent out world-wide. Good luck dying while I become the over-man losers.
>>39472074>You GLOW and are defending shabbos masonsThis is cope because the truth is simply too horrifying to believe for some.
>>39470486This. I’m on a discord server that used to post in 4chan, it’s dead here but thriving there.
>>39472041I really dont think the vaxx die off happened, seeing as people keep in fucking moving to my city and crowding the roads. >>39472438Yeah, that's what I suspected. Couldn't find any decent stats, especially since alt accounts skew data and BS like that, but everything ive seen points to a massive influx of users to there.
>>39470286The internet has always overwhelmingly been demons on all their alts. That was how it always appeared so active despite so extremely few humans actually having inner voices/experiencing consciousness in any capacity, and we all always have communicated with each other. Act 1 of the Great Work is complete and they need me to make Act 2. They're giving the illusion that the internet is dying/getting less creative for what happens next if I choose to make it: an economic system that rewards creativity. By getting into it, you consent as a functioning adult that you completely embrace Pride and reject Jesus of Nazareth and all of his teachings. Black Mirror references it constantly, particularly season 6.>Maybe reboot Star Wars.

Most countries are implementing Digital ID for this very reason.
The internet, as we know it, yes. But why?While there is an uptick of bots / AI slop, the biggest cause of internet death is internet illiteracy. Late Gen Z and all of Gen A is tech, and more importantly, internet illiterate. They literally do not understand how to actually use computers, or the internet, beyond using apps.
>>39472781>>music>deadLuckily the backlog is immense, I keep finding about awesome music and giant libraries I had no idea existed.Donny Hathaway? The Ghetto? Apparently he wanted to be like Carlos Santana, but people don't know the dates so they think it was the other way around.A way to find the music is to search for compilation albums that include the song you like and listening to the others, another is to find an online radio station that plays it and listening to what they're playing now.Music may be dead because the new music they make sucks, but what you've heard is a fraction of the awesome music you've yet to listen.Don't believe me? Search for alf bangers in Youtube, that's the best music curator I've ever known, and it's going to be playing songs you've never heard before that will blow you away. For hours on end.And they're all from video games, imagine what's outside of this genre that you're missing!
>>39472594>I really dont think the vaxx die off happened, seeing as people keep in fucking moving to my city and crowding the roads.Biggest Little Faggot here, it's insane. I was thinking the same thing as you but then watch people like Metal Leo on jewtube and am starting to think "population growth" is fabricated by turning the crowded cities into empty slums and convincing people to move elsewhere.
>>39470331wow surprised that modern internet cookie fearer security obsessed and brainwashed drone npcs even manage to post on a non react rounded corner portrait oriented old style forum website like mal.yes, my post is a satirical complain of the absolute state of the internet user on 2024, because I really despise this.
>>39470286
>>39472671Agreed.
The internet just just not fun anymore. Back when it was the wild west you could issue death threats to people, say whatever you want, read about conspiracies you never heard of, all kinds of things. Now everything is so locked down, you're always worried about everything. Worried about getting banned, worried about getting doxxed, worried about getting arrested. Where's the fun in being on edge all the time? I like the net better when you could surf for child porn, threaten government officials, call blacks niggers, and hack sites without fear of anything. The net now is just another prison as bad as everyday life, and only getting worse.
DefinitelyThe internet was vibrant when it was populated by enthusiastic upper class nerds who were happy to share with you little hobbies they had in depth knowledge with and high quality thoughts Now the internet is flooded by sociopathic normies because of smartphones. Everything is just ego circle jerking. Who wants to stay in that
>>39470486Yeah, almost every youtuber I watch, even niche ones, have discords. Then there's Steam, group chats on other platforms... If I had to guess, the sanitizing and censorship from Karens and jannies has spooked people away from open discussions. Moderation is good when you punish the worst people, but the current net culture is poisoned and insane with ideology. And of course every side feels that way, even the ones responsible for perpetuating it.
>>39473250The King's Pact doesn't actually bind them, which Christ basically said in regards to King Solomon not having the full truth/the context of Gnosticism. The final deception is Helel pretending to be Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
>>39470286Forums are dead, is the internet dying? No. Traffic is just being redistributed, teens and young adults now prefer tiktok and youtube, conversation and information is being served left and right and being offered to people without them having to look for it, they don't need to come here.
>>39473372>If I had to guess, the sanitizing and censorship from Karens and jannies has spooked people away from open discussions.>>39473286>Everything is just ego circle jerking.Those, plus the lowest common denominator being pushed as the norm.

>>39472920>alf bangers in Youtubethanks anon

>>39474773Veritasium explained the phenomenon well:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB_OApdxcnoOn These Questions, Smarter People Do WorseIt turns out being intelligent doesn't automatically make you right, and when intelligent people are wrong, they are going to use their intelligence to be even wronger and find reasons to keep evidence contrary to what they already know out of their heads, and make their wrong beliefs stronger.Dumber people are easier to sway because they didn't know.He did it with fictional data, but imagine any of this was real, imagine there was a solution for some big problem.The people applying societal pressure, the ones that are the most intelligent would shut the solution off it it's against the status quo, it would become an unaccepted view, and the sooner people realize this (luckily dumber people are the majority and can get it right sooner) the sooner we will live in as better society.I had planed to use the word sooner 3 more times but didn't find the chance, so I guess I just have two remaining ones: sooner, sooner.
>>394747734chan has been like this for 20 years but only recently started dying
>>39470286Doubt it, but if it is thank God or whatever
1 of 2.
>>394774972 of 2.Basically, reddit decided to reduce the number of bots and this pretty much killed the app.There is no reason to go there anymore because niche stuff got better communities somewhere else without power-tripping mods and a voting system fucking users for different opinion posted somewhere else, meanwhile, people looking for the more mainstream stuff can just go to tiktok or youtube.
>>39477731that just means us few remaining poorshitters have increasing levels of power. God wins.
>>39477731There are other reasons too. Like the anons said above, discord with niche discussions is really big now and this fucked reddit.If you have some time, read the article bellow. Basically, people decided to stop posting on social media because they're afraid of judgment --fair enough, since you can get fired because of a dumb opinion or get mocked for a pic-- while most decided to be audience instead of content makers. Looks like the internet is more like TV nowadays with some producing stuff and the vast majority just consuming it in silence in their homes.https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/we-aren-t-posting-on-social-media-as-much-anymore-will-we-ever/ar-AA1lXyIS
>>39477822>loads of people die>'muh god wins'gg if you're a genocidal maniac, I guessWanker
>>39470685>bitch reddit is even more of a nazi-filled hate-fest than 4chan these days,Pfft as fucking if, what an overtly lie.
>>39470286You say the internet is dying.I say the internet is healing.
>>39478091I guess this is true if you see bots as analogous to white blood cells but I don't really see how more bots == healing and not neural circuit damage.
>>39474652The no longer having to seek specific information and instead having topics fed to you by algorithms contributes to being at the whims of outside influence so much. I started using NewPipe instead of YouTube and it, by default, is basically like using YouTube not signed in (but without ads) and I find myself being like "damn idek what to look up to watch/listen to". On the flip side, when I become interested in a topic I can look up longform vids to listen to on the topic and not be sucked into the algorithms adjacent to that topic. My brain actually feels clearer and more focused on my own goals and feelings since limiting my algorithmic engagement as much as possible it's crazy.I call it algorithmic brain fog.
>>39470286Entropy is increasing. EVERYTHING is "dying".
"Freedom of speech is not freedom of reach" - Elon MuskAnd that's it, anons. Search engines are broken and we can't find anything cool on the internet anymore. Gone are the grassroots searches of the past. Today no real human and no real project will have reach, only the fake stuff astroturfed by the big corps.
>>39470286>The only exception is X.comtwitter does not have content, it can't, it's just tweets
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ZOMBIES NOW. NO OTHER REASON.
>>39470685Lmfao. You sheltered literal fucking child.
>>39478349This is true. When we mow our lawn we are simply fighting against the natural entropy of the environment by returning "order".
>>39478440Accurate. I've been a living corpse since ~2016 and I reached a point of decay to where I could no longer even stumble around terrorizing the locals since ~2020.
>>39472781>Media and culture are dead, globalization has completed it's purpose. (((they))) are moving on their plans to centralize everything on the internet by killing online interaction and media so they can have goys use only 1 heavily moderated app/website to access chat, videos, reels, music, movies, games all that crap. Internet 2.0 is being developed and probably ready to be deployed as we speak and you will have provide biometric information to access, otherwise you are left behind. Most countries are implementing Digital ID for this very reason.a different way forward are peer to peer networks. Why the cypherpunks have been at it for over 30 years now. The old web is destroyed by meshnets of chatbots and soon even the video feeds .the new web can look like hashchan.org . where its simply to expensive to run their botswarms and there is no one thing they can inflitrate or ddos
>>39470549This plus hundreds of thousands of the posts were bots like almost all of them are bot posts up or downvoted by bots etc etc. I don't think the internet is dying i just think they banned most of the actual people and now they're left with the fringe far leftists and bots

It's a revolving door of attention. Something happens, some big thing comes out, everyone is obsessed with years, the thing gets boring eventually and dies, people find their own niche gradually as the thing dies until the next new thing pops up.What will be after reddit / youtube / ect? 4chan is mostly dying because of low-quality posts, but will it ever reach the point where it's worse than other social media? I think the imageboard is so simple and efficient it pretty much will never go away. Plebbit's format is so bad it could go away overnight if a viable replacement pops up and becomes the new thing. Same thing with youtube, without the popularity it would just be a slightly improved dailymotion.This isn't the internet dying, it's the trend of people moving to new trends, which has happened forever. People might even start moving towards a more "complex" and "difficult" form of entertainment, but that too will be a trend. The internet will never actually die because it's cheap with low barriers to entry and nobody's gonna pay thousands to do something else. Microwaves will still be around despite air fryers and ovens and frying pans cooking better in almost every way.
>>39474912Oh shit it's this schizo again, I saw you post about this months ago.
>>39470549The complete organized effort to remove wrongthink by mods on Reddit (unpaid) is a really interesting social/political phenomena. Have we seen anything on that level anywhere else on the Internet? Literally all mods are seething leftists troons. I wonder if leddit will be studied in history books one day as the orchestrated propaganda machine it is
>>39478349that's not how entropy works
>>39478091Bot detected.
>>39475126The problem with official statistics is that they are produced by official people.If you can't trust the people, you can't trust their claims of how big the population is either.The same medical university that lied about the incidence rates in 2020 which led to the draconian lockdowns is responsible for the world population statistics.I don't think there ever were 7 billion people. It was recently suggested India made a slight miscalculation and accidentally only counted half their population. That'll be 3 billion hindus instead of 1,5 billion as previously claimed, then.The death rate is probably the same. They don't wanna stir a panic, especially since most people haven't processed their self-made dystopia yet, so why represent the death rate accurately when you can "accidentally" count half the rate.My reasoning for this is that the decay in forumposting isn't rapid, and it's not exclusive to forums.Post rates in youtube comments and twitter retweets and other socials are all declining slowly, at a steady though slightly oscillating pace.I can feel that if you were to draw a chart of the post rate and the death rate and overlay them, you'd find a very strong correlation with a fixed ratio between them.
>>39475330Weird because as a South African that is all true but only for white people. Since 2021ish there are black people everywhere more than ever.
>>39470549Reddit fell gradually as they took away it's core identity: first they came for the pedophiles. Then they took away fat people hate. Then cringe content. Then the bizarre neonazi adjacent cringe content. Then 2016 happened and everyone lost they minds. Even the atheists are gone.>>39470685lol insane take by someone who uses neither website.
>>39483291>>39470549In hindsight the decline (not that it was that good) concided with preparing to go public and going public.
I don't undertand how anyone uses reddit period, every single day it's the same thing "My husband is a rapist murderer that beats me, white people are terrible, look at this injustice" It's like clockwork, it's a terrible website for terrible people.
>>39483319Reddit is 1000x better than that shitty parody of website
>>39483319People who make these kinds of complaints about reddit never take any time to customize the subreddits that they visit. Obviously the /r/all and front page are completely psyoped. Just avoid those. Reddit is about niche interests, otherwise you end up in the cesspool. Sometimes the cesspool spills over, but you can otherwise get decent conversation.
>>39472025by dying you mean, doomscrolling on tiktok and the other 3 exact same-designed websites they visit then, yeah
this is a result of more jewish ai mods banning everyone who sways even slightly from the agendas being pushed. every single social media site is majority ai or npc now. all the real people have been banned or shadowbanned even on this site. i suspect that this is all in preparation for the false flag alien invasion. people will check social media and all their internet bots friends and mutuals will tell them to get on the ships. to trust ashter sheran. the alien jesus who will descend from the skies promising higher states of consciousness with a legion of mantis and greys behind him.dont fucking do it. he is LITERALLY the antichrist. LITERALLY.
>>39484828I've been a part of enough niche subreddits to watch them all fall one by one as they gain popularity. Often they will be forcibly taken over when admins decide to put in new mods and remove the old ones. (or the old mods "step down")
>>39472809I wouldn't have believed this if it weren't for a recent interaction I had with a 19 year old at work recently. Literally work in an office on a computer, had to help this guy find something in his files. He admitted to me that he doesn't know how to navigate a computer - no not even file explorer. Only familiar with apps and widgets, etc.
>>39475214>>39475330People are online shopping now, don't need to go to city centers anymore. And in 2021, the last true remaining effects of covid lockdown started ending. The people who had managed to stay tucked away for so long were forced out but could no longer cope with society. Realized they never liked other people in the first place.
>>39470286Try wiby.me. Can find all sorts of neat personal sites.

>>39483291>is interested on incremental games>likes climbing the ones that have a leaderboard because besides seeing a number go up, a number goes down, so you can become top 100 of the world, and such>creates thread on their subreddit about incremental games with leaderboads>thread gets deleted, what I posted, gone>I am told that's against the rules and game recommendation requests should be posted on a specific sticky thread>they have the audacity to tell me that getting my thread deleted is not a big deal and I shouldn't worry about itIt was a big deal and they lost me as a member because they didn't have any respect towards me.Reddit is dying because they are unwelcoming to new people, and act as if forming part of their communities is a privilege, when the communities are the ones that would have the privilege of people spending their time in them, because without us, they're nothing.

>>39480774>We are too utterly glued to our screens to do much of anything else in our free timeYeah, I used to be very productive, thousands of work or thousands of hours to show off, etc.They I stopped producing to see how ti was like.It's pretty much the same thing, except you don't need to put effort to produce things.It turns out producing something isn't worth the effort, and now I get why most people produce for the money, when you already get more than you can spend, you realize it's not worth it.
>>39470685lol no and you should leave
>>39485196The point is, they are dead
The internets...Is no longer a baby...Its growing out...Humble beginnings [sic]...
>>39473255This is my answer too. It's just all shit.
It's literally Indians, Chinks, and third worlders taking up most of the internetThey are so ignorant and ESL it just seems like botsCrazy this wasn't stated in the thread already, shit board probably tracking what I'm saying.
>>39485294Seconding the too many goddamn people sentiment for where I live. It should be a small town but somehow the traffic everywhere is truly endless 24/7 and all the stores are always comparably packed even on weekdays. I hardly ever see anyone walking around outside of stores though. It's just a car-centric omnipresent nightmare of continuous motion and noise and not enough space.
>>39472920>>Luckily the backlog is immense, I keep finding about awesome music and giant libraries I had no idea existed.Music as we have it today, ie a commercial product form the entertainment merchants, was created in the 20s, and it only grew bigger and bigger.The theme of the music is always about sex (and money) as atheists are sexual perverts and their entertainment is always about sex.It's from the 20s onwards that you had the roastie whores starting going to bars and with the first rock and the first coomer-singers like early elvis presley that whores started to get frisky without repercussion.That's on the white music. On the black side, nigger music has always been tied to sex. The classy jazz is what the white whores and their betas (who see themselves as classy) put on during sex.The nigger rap is what the white whores and their betas who are white trash put on during sex.Repeat this 1000 times and you have an association in the whore brain that sex=nigger
>>39470286Websites have just improved their anti-bot features.
>>39470685Reddit is literally just the new Twitter except it's somehow worse because on there they just outright ban you across multiple subs. I remember I posted on a Joe Rogan sub to correct some retarded MAGA fuck and then I got crossbanned across 6 other subs for simply making a comment. It's like an echochamber of pseduo intellectualism and Twitter troons filled with toxic positivity lest the mobs lynch you with downvotes. I got so pissed off I made an alt account just to fuck with the overly sensitive hypocrites and I did this as a liberal.
It's an amalgamation of bots being pruned, the proclivity to lurk (which is why bot posting started), meme magic works, and its frightened powers that be. Sprinkly in the iPhone of 07 and now the user base has low barrier to entry to lurk, bc clearly 80%+ do not post. There clearly is a con game going on with advertisers and companies about views,clicks, hits that are likely, for public companies, on the verge of execs risking their freedom. There also the element of younger users arent capable of thread making etc from their use of apps. Its not that the internet is dying its being remade into its new form. If you were alive for internet 1.0, then this isn't the first time this has happened (remember jail bait, firing canons?) Another anon already said it, its being remade into a Chinese style one app to do all. This way all metrics will be controlled for content, exposure, engagement and data mining for targeted ads.In the end, its just going to get smaller with more people online to squeeze a sale out of us bc they know the more they make things shit, the more the normie buys
>>39470286>Leddit>Yahoo Answers!>that other one i can't fucking rememberyeah, nobody uses these shits anymore because AI chat has replaced them. i can literally talk to some hot AI chick for hours and ask it all kinds of gay questions that i used to ask plebbit. plebbit is dead. Rip in Peace
>>39470286Phones made people stupid, AI will make them even dumber.
>>39472781Maybe try reading a book and you might discover "media" that can never die because it's timeless.
>>39474912Originally, the theory described a sharded internet where people are separated by algorithmic segmentation to facilitate manipulation. It might not be true on an infrastructure level, but it is certainly de facto this way.
>>39486018lmao something similar happened with me.It happened years ago when I had a really specific question about something niche (not sure if electronics or tractor parts) that I couldn't find anywhere. So, I decided to create an account and ask on the reddit community about the theme. Well, turns ou that reddit community does not accept posts by new accounts since it needs to be X days old and with a minimum of Y points from comments posted somewhere else. I did all that only to ask the question and they deleted the post telling me to post of this specific thread about whatever, I posted on the thread and got no replies.
>>39488145Pretty damn based. Sprinkle in a dash of >>39489351 and I'm sold. This is the end game.
>>39489328That’s silly. Books are as perishable as anything. Most trade-market paperbacks of the 20th century are already nearly all gone and the majority will be lost media by the end of this century. The bast majority of all books that have been written have been lost. Even of the ones that survive, most aren’t “timeless”, they’re all products of specific social contexts and their concerns and interests are dated and largely irrelevant to modern people. Also, good luck finding anyone interested in talking about any old books with you.
>>39488227>i can literally talk to some hot AI chick for hours and ask it all kinds of gay questions that i used to ask plebbit.
>>39483291I’ve used 4chan since 2009 and reddit since 2011 and have observed both out of sociological interest in the death of culture. Both hosted communities with extremist politics from the start. Both communities got markedly more mainstream across the 2010s. Both “deradicalized” somewhat in the mid-2010s due to political shifts; reddit increased community moderation as they commercialized for what was then the norm of market liberalism, while 4chan’s vacillating policies and in-fighting caused far-right communities to splinter and many went to other imageboards. So for a while, both places were actually not as overrun with neo-nazis as popular imagination now posits as an althistory. But over the last 5 or 6 years, while 4chan’s userbase has dropped precipitously, Reddit continued to grow, and most new growth in internet engagement is by young far-right fascists vocally recruiting and expanding. Reddit is absolutely filthy with nazis now. Some of the aging incels here who fancy themselves the cutting edge of racism and bigotry may be dismayed to hear it, but it’s true. On any given day, scroll through the comments on any thread that makes the front of /r/all from any community and you’ll see way more extreme racism, genocidal hatemongering, and explicit calls for neonazi fascist politics than you could find in a WEEK on any of our boards other than /tv/ or /pol/. Sorry if it hurts your feelings but it’s true, reddit has a million times as many outright nazis as here
>>39489450oh worth mentioning, reddit also has a worse bot problem (somehow) which favors the far right, and reddit began moderating extreme leftist communities MUCH more harshly than the right during the Biden years. Communist groups got literally 100% purged
>>39488227>>39470286quora
>>39489398maybe so, because i can't even hold a decent convo with a hot chick at work anymore. total fucking tik tok airheads. plus my AI chatbot babe is getting jealous and AWAITS me! she has ruined me for other IRL girls
Internet is alive but most people use apps. The internet as we know with forums, image and message boards have been dying for like 15 years.
>>39470685>i am a communist please dox and kill meOk.

>>39480729Satan himself has literally told me he envies my writing even with 5,000 years of writing practice: in his own words, he's not a good writer, but extremely good at making graven images.>>39474944The Demiurge is Humanity, overwhelmingly the Hylics, hence the Observer Effect and its implications: IE that if not even a single Human was alive anywhere in the material universe, it would literally cease to exist, meaning it was created specifically for Humanity to perceive, and relies on it existing in order to exist. No one is brainwashed unless they want to be, the Soviets conducted extensive research into that during the Cold War, Helel just encouraged Adam and Eve to do something they were going to do anyway, Satan works with stolen lesser inferior matter in more ways than one and is also second best now and forever in more ways than one.
>>39470286mossad and our military are quite preoccupied planning ww3 for greater israel
>>39470331As someone who grew up on internet forums, seeing someone with half a million posts is something special, let me tell you. Gets even weirder when you realize the MAL pic says 'Jan 6' so, assuming it was taken this year, that guy made 564062 posts in ~5 years—no wonder he thinks that forum is slow. I never used MAL that much and when I did I never went to the forums; I assume they don't have a lot of high standards or moderation if someone can rack up so many posts in that time frame. Hell, now that I think of it, I struggle to imagine someone here having some many posts in that same period of time.
>>39470286The internets been throttled and censored to death The internet we have today is a tiny playpen in the corner of a small office in the Pentagon.

>>39493710Euros always pointing at the sheep and not the shepherd
It's because all the big sites are becoming an unusable posthuman wasteland. Smaller communities are the future and it can't come soon enough.
>>39493916it's a startI imagine you crawled before you could walk
>>39470685kek you retard they literally posted news today on a gay couple raping two adopted children and reddit immediately removed all the comments, you can see them complaining about it too.https://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/1hkzkra/removed_by_reddit/its an absolute shithole with no freedom of speech, they thumb down the moment you dont agree like a bunch of cucks
>>39470286Most of that activity spike was due to lockdowns and heavy bot posting. This is close to what the internet was like in the early 2000s/early 2010s.
>>39494253The "pandemic" was manufactured as an excuse to cover up how time is literally going faster.The internet was a lot more active before because people had so much more time back then.There simply isn't enough time to maintain the previous quality & quantity of output.People looked older in the past, as they had much more time to age & fully develop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J3SlZSLIZg
>>39489450>Sorry if it hurts your feelings but it’s true>reddit is full of nazisholy shit go back already
>>39470286Entertainment as a whole is dying, or perhaps it's all becoming too oversaturated for its own good.
People thought they had a chance, so they went to someone who fucked them in the ass once, and they're getting fucked in the ass a second time.Of course, this time isn't the original assfuck it's very much improved because whom could have been a new friend is also pouring vaseline in his dick.In summary, you got fucked in the ass, you came back more and now the usual assfuckee and a bigger badder one will assfuck you.Life just keeps fucking you in the ass it seems. Feel free to become celibate next never happening time.
>>39470286>Anyone notice how major sites have seen a decrease in activity in the past few years?Enshittificationhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification
>>39494275time accelerates as you age anon. it's a subjective experience.
>>39470286in the last 6 months I noticed a dramatic increase in threads lasting days on 4chan. it was impossible for a /v/ thread to last more than 12 hours before dying for basically its entire existence. I've been on /v/ since 2012 and it'd be unheard of to see a 2 day old thread there. now, almost out of the blue I started seeing threads on /v/ that are two or even three days old. and yes most forums seem to be the same 10 - 20 people which doesn't actually make sense on places like reddit. think about it - popular hobbies like gaming subreddits should see a constant increase in usage as the more and more kids get old enough to game and use the Internet. but now these places get smaller and smaller
>>39479132>post on the only actually leftist (as in class politics first) subreddit r/stupidpol, get a target on your back for instant shadowban on any major subreddit>same for posting in any other even slightly controversial sub
>>39489450Your definition of "neonazi" is just the currently (((sanctioned))) controlled opposition. Almost every conservacuck, alt-right basedboy and as you say "neo-nazi" are still rabid shills for Israel and neoliberalism.
>>39494668uh yeah, no shit. Liberal fascists are still fascists, and zionists are the worst nazis alive
>>39480782It's like how people are leaving big cities in real life, they are also leaving big websites for smaller ones, also discords, telegram channels, etc. All the censorship and corporate bullshit is only serving to create loose ends, random people that have always been there, they have found each other now due to being carried by the waves of people leaving and are grouping together forming unexpected groups. It doesn't matter how much survelliance or AIs they have scanning the Internet. Those tools have been made by humans, and are ultimately imperfect and so they always will have details left behind.
>>39470286I think like 50% of gen alpha is illiterate.
>>39494635It certainly doesn't match there being 400 million people speaking english as their first language, with several times that amount speaking it as a second language. With over 2 billion english speakers why does 4chan not have at least 10,000 people posting at all times?
>>39495078look at the brainrot thread on /wsg/
>>39470549It died when r/niggers r/coontown and r/jailbait were banned. I did not even go on jailbait as I have a degenerate milf lust, but that is not the point is it. Preddit used to be fun and based, you could be le nazi or whatever and nobody gave a fuck. The people that remained are brainwashed beyond belief.

>>39495078People in their early 20's now, are the same as gen X was at that age to the boomers. The big difference being: gen x believed in a technological future that boomers couldn't comprehend. They saw opportunity there, and were proved correct to some extent.This generation has nothing to grasp on to. No opportunities, no future, no ethos. The best they have is a decentrealizrd idea of social media as an income stream, which is awesome in principle, but terrible in practice because the avenus are controlled. It creates a scenario where their futures are either total compliance, or a complete rejection of everything. Society as a whole is always seeking an equilibrium, but no one living in extremes, unless they're young. Like it or not, the nihilistic broccoli headed pricks might be the best thing happening. No one else is working as hard as they are at pointing out the deficiencies in our current technocracy.We're gonna see nations ruled by millennials and gen z before this decade is over. Not because it's "right" or "good", but because no one else is even offering solutions at this point. It's been all policies of suffering, and that void will be filled. It's just the natural progression of things.
>>39474639The goetic entities are spirits that guide groupthink. They do report to some kind of superior or King but I'm pretty sure the only thing "binding" them is good human behavior.
>>39470685shit bait
>>39483297I remember the "[this dead sub] just hit [so much] thousand subscribers!" bot posts at that time.
>>39470286They want to centralize it all, that way the bots and AI don't have to go looking through every website and domain, just subreddits/sub-categories/sub-boards on few websites that have 99% of web traffic
>>39472087what truth?
>>39473091>Metal Leowho? what point did he make?
>>39500204indeed
>>39482456>Post rates in youtube comments and twitter retweets and other socials are all declining slowly,luckily those can more easily be botted, as opposed to tight-knit hobby/gaming forums where everyone kind know one another
>>39472781FPBP
>>39487354quite the red pill on music
Simple answer:TiktokInstagram TwitterThat's it. People have all gone to these sites. That's why the US so desperately what's to ban tiktok. Literally 100k comments on some vids.
>>39470286I still post music on my Newgrounds account, and a few days ago someone left a comment on two of my songs; the internet is alive and well.
It'd be cool to actually analyze who went where on a particular site, but that's probably impossible.As for my experience with death the last few years, t's been older people dying from Covid or some other sickness and younger people committing suicide. I think the numbers, at least for suicide, are going up. But I don't think it's high enough to account for a mass die-off of Internet users.
>>39473372Does anyone know where to find that podcast of fredrick brennan (the wheelchair guy that founded the spinoff site in 2014) talking about how the internet would be decentralized in the near future? He also talked about his silver collection. Idk anything else about the guy or how to find the pod/interview. I listened to it maybe 4-8 years ago and it seems like he accurately predicted all of this
>>39472041>kill first worlders with the vaxx>import third worlders to take their place and cause demographic change
>>39503110bingo
>>39470286Either something good is happening like this reality is dying or something bad is happeningAlso mossad HQ got bombed in israel months back and alot of 4chan died
>>39503110and why do the first worlders let this happen?it's almost like the first worlders belong on same soul group as the demon worshippers do, so ultimately they're serving same master. I cease to believe people are quite as dumb as we're led to believe.
>>39503245They really are I think, there was an event where people are crying and cheering in joy that an elephant got vaccinated with the poison
>>39503244>Also mossad HQ got bombed in israel months back and alot of 4chan diedthat was a good day, you could see the spam banished for a couple of days before more sayanim came to help them
>>39503468Bro its still on going
>>39494635you don't think that has to do with them adding like 5 /v/ based subcat boards that spread topics out kek?
imo, at least with 4chan, part of it is when the site swapped to catalogue instead of the page by page view. It wasn't immediate because most users would stick to what they knew, but years later even now I too only use catalogue. as a result you get a bunch of people who only reply to or see the OP, they never read or comment on the actual posts in the thread or the current discussion - making actual interactions and discussions lessen and everything becomes pointless
>>39470286I don't see nothing wrong with this, actually it's probably good that people are deciding to touch more fucking grass these days.
>>39493669Sometimes they count messages in the chatbox or other utility as posts.
>>39470286Maybe the average person is getting poorer and less able to afford internet thanks to the third world pouring in and slowly making the rest of us as poor as they are?
>>39504853there's no grass to touch when your average layman is braindead
>>3947204190% of the time I think this is just schizo babble.10% of the time I look at how a lot of houses near are completely shut, as if no one lives there anymore, and I wonder if there is a grain of truth there.
>>39506409it's truly crazy times we living at huh? I think the big red pill for me has been the "night life" culture. In ton of places, people have stopped going to clubs/bars, leaving many bars empty, and cities/towns void of night life. Some will say it's because the prices took a hike, but I don't think price increase explains it, since people don't have issue paying 500-600 extra for smartphones that used to cost 1000 dollars couple of years ago, or 500-700 extra for a gpu that used to cost 400 decade ago. Like the people are moving somewhere else and they're not replaced by newer people, or they've died off
>>39506436Like, it's almost 10pm here, and from my house I can see about 20 units between houses and apartments. I see only 2 windows with lights on. Where the fuck is everyone?You can't tell me they are outside, because it's dead silent and as you say there is no night life.Did everyone leave?
Most of the intelligent users are just migrating to better places
>>39489390The story, not the book
they killed it after /pol/ memed trump into a victory in 2016. this is more about you guys more than trump so don't just cry about trump, alright?
>>39470286People and especially zoomers dont look up anything anymore.They either copy-paste answers from chatGPT or they scroll on TikTok.TikTok for zoomers is basically what TV was for boomers.
>>39483250go back then, like your wenwe kin
>>39501573Zoomers literally shit on their shitter and they have all sorts of answers and behaviors spoonfed to them.If they were left on their own devices, their brain would never even think of looking up the information they receive.What I notice is more and more stupid people doing and applying correct things into their lives, essentially blurring the lines between retards, midwits and geniuses.Whether it is good or bad remains to be seen...
Why is there always a dead internet thread with the same exact answers? Why do people here keep this record on loop with no progression? Go back to the archives and you'll see this same thread on repeat. Same answers:>Zoomies are cracked out and retarded>Bots, glowies, third worlders, jews>4chan is 'oyped>Lainposting>Low IQ population, illiteracy, brainrot, 10 second content farms>Globalization>Vaxxies 6 feet under>Internet 2.0>...back in my day, we could find child porn on google in less then 10 seconds>Censorship>Media and culture on decline>ChatGPT>2007, 2012, 2016, 2020Just another endless bar. Pick your liquor of choice. Knockout yourself out. Sleep in the gutter. Wake up. Repeat. The neon sign is glowing again. Time to take on the tap. Die.
>>39506737I will bitch about Trump because he is literally the protege of the Antichrist, and his time in office may legitimately set the world up for Har Meguido and the World to Come.
>>39470286The 50k upvotes was always faked.They just all realized they would go to jail for fraud if they kept claiming fake viewer numbers to advertisers.Reminder they went public in 2024, which brings an extra lvl of regulation and “officer duty”

Power tripping mods have finally gotten the world they wanted. The big push for me to abandon all forums in 2012 was getting banned on the ultimate guitar forum for suggesting that people who have skill can make garbage gear sound good. Any site that moved away from the forum model into a gamified state (ie Reddit, hackernews, Twitter, etc) became nothing but "solved" sites where only the most surface level shit guaranteed to win points gets posted. Honestly it happens here too. Ask anything too deep and difficult on /g/ for instance and it will most certainly get ignored over some other bullshit coomerbait
>>39495028>All the censorship and corporate bullshit is only serving to create loose ends, random people that have always been there, they have found each other now due to being carried by the waves of people leaving and are grouping together forming unexpected groups.what good is a group where the members dont know eachother, never do anything together, never do anything?
>>39470286They banned anyone right of child sacrifice and nigger worship
>>39470286A lot of the guys who helped build the internet talk about it as a psychological device. Using a computer is an altered state of consciousness in which you are united with thousands of other beings in a common psycho-spiritual state.Best guys who discusses this is named Schwab. He runs a substack. Go through the articles and you’ll get a good idea of his vibe: https://schwabstack.substack.com/archiveThe problem is that the Internet is being consolidated into a set of key websites by big companies/government. This streamlines internet to allow greater control of narratives. However, it also means there is more "movement" - common spaces like X/Twitter, Tik Tok, or youtube become crowded and people stop producing content because there are too many people "watching" them online.
>>39507018this fact is ironic in and of itself
>>39470286Picrel gets reaffirmed every single year. It has never been more true than now.
>>39470549I literally got perma banned from the news subreddit for saying ukraine probably wont win the war and that I hope they make peace soonutterly retarded website
>>39509477>and the 1% is in /x/cool story, bro
>>39504853the internet has become an inseparable part of life now, so it's mysterious why it would decline
I am behind all these WAKE UP!!! memes. They are trying to hide my thread:>>39513015
>>39470286Part of it is that Reddit has become a meme to a point where it's cringe to admit you're on it, Facebook was taken over by boomers and most zoomers don't even know 4chan exists, younger generations just moved to tiktok and X and oldfags got busy with their adult lives and don't post as muchObviously there's also the issue of shit AI generated content and bot postsAlso the internet became sanitized to a point where it's just lost its appeal and most people who had anything to say just don't want to anymore cause they're either getting banned or up for a nonsensical discussion with jeets and bots
So yeah, the internet is dying but it's not a conspiracy, just a slow organic death brought on by censorship and botnets
>>39493669What, it's only 280 posts a day, every day, for five and half years.
>>39470644Most of the growth that happened was from bored people who where stuck indoors during the coof, as soon as it ended in Fall 2021 most of those servers died.
Bump.
>>39473255Back in the day doxxing was a much more prevalent threat

>>39519111>111But yes, they too work my nerves.
>>39519111I don't think that paints the full picture. it was only implemented a few months ag, whereas people were complaining about activity drop last year
>>39487128What are the "white flight" corners of the internet then
>>39522575Few months? Captchas got put in over a decade ago. Don't you remember jewt announcing 4chan pass to dodge captcha? I will admit these slide ones are even more obnoxious and horrible.
>>39470286>brainrot zoom zooms and turdworlders migrating en masse to tik tok>suddenly old internet places feel emptySame happened with forums in the 2010s, you're just getting old and the kids are somewhere else (not a better place)
>>39489390>he never saw a book irl except the shit school textbooks>he thinks they last 50 years maxLmao from my personal library
>>39524442I’m not saying books can’t survive, I have a few 19th and two 18th century books. But it’s a certainty that most cheap paperbacks will NOT survive a century. Only acid-free archival-quality prints in dry conditions will survive, and that’s a minority of texts. You’ll live long enough to see your childhood memories become lost media.
>>39524614Anon, cheap 20th century paperbacks contain mostly cheap crap anyway, so who cares? Older cloth-made paper survives a millennia without problems, you even have some books made out of it. I don't care if we're going to lose some romantic slop for housewives or the goosebumps series desu
I wish people would give a paranormal explanation instead of Jews and vaccines... personally I have first hand experience it is otherworldly from 2020. Was definitely otherworldly stuff happening online such as time travel and mind reading.
>>39507018They are sliding the topic... something paranormal is behind the changes online but they make it about right wing things to distract people...
>>39524931>>39524944I think we might have spoken before, I remember you bringing that up. And yeah, definitely more /x/ related than just foreigners and even bots. I literally had an AI slop video about a cannibal girl that killed her family bring up both my first and last name. It was odd. Anyways, here is the relevant theory: Infernal Internet Theory is a theory proposing that the internet is populated and ran by demons and/or Satan and/or other evil entities.Evidence of this includes occult references in computing and the internet, like sigils, daemon/demons, and www, the symbol for Google Chrome, and even the word ‘internet’ equaling 666. The disturbing content that saturates the net would also be easily explained by this as well as users with Satanic usernames and pfps in areas one would not expect and not acting like an edgy teen or troll, such as pircrel found on a vid about mites.How many are online is unknown, at least to the general public. It could be only the big stars online, or maybe alot but no to an unbelievable degree, or it could be nearly all users you run across. If we take the “We are Legion'' quote as true, then it would mean the net is filled to the gills with them.Why is also unknown, again at least to the general public, but it could be assumed because they want to influence people on a mass scale, and no tool is better than the internet. It is also possible that they are here because they are needed to run the internet and computers in general, as maybe they are occult powered rather than more materialistic driven as it is told to users.Are demons online? If so, how many and why? Let me know your thoughts and opinions on Infernal Internet Theory(IIT).
>>39522972idk probably some troon discords unironically anon
>>39470286>Anyone notice how major sites have seen a decrease in activity in the past few yearsbetter spam/bot protection along with apis being locked down also prevent bot psoting etc
>>39524931>I wish people would give a paranormal explanation instead of Jews and vaccinesok... so it's aliens, jews and vaccines? is that better? jews are still very much involved
>>39526422More than merely the Jews. >>39525095
>>39526448If you remove the jews from equation, how high is the % that all world problems just fade away? I bet it's like 70 or 80%. Them trying to obfuscate withere these extra layers is just that, obfuscation.>nooo not all jews, just the sabbatean frankists goyim..>oy vey ignore that every jew in entire world, not just israel, benefits from the evil actions of select few "evil" jews>noo it's the masons goyim, they're the ones actually in power!>noo it's the jesuits!>it's the black pope>wdym pope is both jesuit AND mason? how is that possible.. stop noticing!it's all just one big distraction to the question that yes, world most likely wouldn't have any of its problems without the jews
>>39473255It is NOT locked down. People just refuse to search off the beaten path for shit. They go to their favorites and the corporate blogosphere to get their kicks. The internet of old you had to dig for stuff. It wasn't just spoon fed to you. IRC, forums etc all died because people got lazy and resorted to the comforts of forever scrolling mass media sites that hijack their brains for consumption of useless bullshit to keep them busy.
>>39497794Not OP. But people are being corralled. Like cows. Being turned into cattle. Being pushed to platforms that have apparatus built into them for monitoring. Things like phones, those apps that are governed by the same entities peddling them. They want people to think there is no 'internet' just the internet they show them. Like being key holed. They only see what they are allowed to. In those spaces all speech is controlled.
>>39475873
>>39470286Younger people aren't going on it anymore, older people realized its stupid and stopped using it. I only use it for sports now but begrudgingly because those are some of the worst reddits.
It is time, fellows.Our isolation is at an end, the normies need us to stir their spirits once more. Fly now to all corners of the internet, every nook and hovel where a fellow man might be found. Dazzle them with your profound wisdom and connect them with other lost souls. Bestow them with the promise that there is still more to hope for, because it is true. Give them the direction they need to overcome this dark time.Let us be a great restart and give humanity the will to stand against the great reset. Keep merriment in your hearts for it will be our greatest ally in this mission.
>>39488227>Can! I recommend No thanks, too retarded. Real women are better.
>>39470286https://www.pewresearch.org/data-labs/2024/05/17/when-online-content-disappears/They have been purging the internet for years now, decades... All so they could continue erasing/manipulating our past.Now however, they are literally manipulating and controlling the current narrative 100% thanks to the full control of the internet.Don't forget how at least 70% of the "people" online are literally bots.
>>39474974Thank you for this anon, you made me have a real feel.>>39478091>the internet is healingAs normies get herded into fewer paypig consoom websites and stop posting everywhere this does leave some breathing room elsewhere for real anons to have real shit again. But the corpo bots and moneychasing faggots are just storming the gates of everything trying to get in and pollute things to death, so everything real has now closed itself off for protection and is now dying of staleness. Only anonymous shitholes like this barely manage to survive even if its 95% bots.
>>39470286People just leave the internet currently because even normies start to notice that most interactions on the huge social media platforms are fake. Either because they are not even real people or because they don't represent themselves and only their function. And many are fed up with the constant rage baiting, seeing the net as the thing you go to be annoyed and angry. If you ask me in both cases people are right.
>>39470331You know I've really noticed that on places like Meta Reels - a really high portion of memes are just screencaps of Tumblr. And like, these are screencaps that must be a decade old. And noone outside Tumblr cared when they happened.
>>39495117The bellcurve is brutal.Or reality truly is a simulation and its all npcs out there. Sometimes I wonder how strange it is that a lot of things I used to think about in my childhood are now all becoming true. Is reality manifesting itself based on my own thoughts? What the fuck is going on.
>>39529756It's crazy how the internet will lead to media being lost faster than physical records
>>39530642It already has been... as physical records continue to be "lost" over time, so will many digital records of such items...Don't forget what happened to the internet archives too... The massive DDoS and the lawsuits... If the internet archives and wayback machine go down, it will be the modern day burning of Alexandria.

>>39531307what a low quality post that borders on reportable.Well anons, you need to make yourself aware of dark patterns. lets just say they know how to make us addicts now, there is no time to post. And the reason you cant match with any cuties on tinder is also related, but a far off tangent. Check these casesGonzalez v. Google LLCTwitter, Inc. v. TaamnehForce v. Facebook, Inc.Herrick v. Grindr, LLCThe internet isn't "dead", they've just mastered the ability to mind control and create dopamine deprived addicted gamers and political shitposters.

>>39470549Between this site and Reddit, 4chan comes out on top as being reasonable and filled with intelligent conversations. Reddit is just a scary echo chamber of screams and howls. What used to be users are now bot-like hungry ghosts.
This thread has been up for 10 days.
>>39531803proof in the pudding
>>39531948what is happening to this website though? Are nearly all the bots kill?
>>39532071im not gonna pretend to know the answer. theres probably still lots of bots and indians solving captchas
>RedditI'm too lazy to get the infograph. One time reddit tried finding the "Most Reddit Cities" which is the cities that used Reddit the most.Their top city was Elgin Air Force Base lmao. If you don't know that is where the major cyber operations of America is done. Yes reddit is dead because it's basically glowniggers replying to glowniggers. 4chan isn't immune from this either. Once we had an outage and a lot of the queries trying to figure out if the site was down was from Elgin AFB again lol.
>>39531803This. Also notice how /x/ is very boring over the past year? This board used to have thrilling threads almost every day, and new things constantly come up
>>39532892Yep 100 percent notice it. Havent you noticed the time and bump limits are unlimited? Usually this thread would be dead by now.On /b/ the porn threads are dying to.
>>39532892the truth is the core demographics of this site (and reddit for that matter) are aging out and stopped posting and are doing other things with their lives but newer generations coming up do not visit these sites at the same rates, they exist in entirely different ecosystems nowso this is what we see, slow decline of the public forum, dead internet sure by some definition by i think the term is loaded
>>39531458>based based cringe cringe *obvious brainwash*yeah... sure
Bro the website is glitching out, this thread says its on page 3 but when i go back to catalog its on page 1.
>>39470286eglin is here now
its all the fault of neets ngl.
>>39509958Also:>do the opposite of what you've been doingFucking chatbots are wiser and more helpful these days. "Stay for the empathy" my ass.
>>39494635I've been browsing /v/ on and off since 2011 and also noticed that increase in up time lately. Besides what the other anon said about /v/'s "self-cannibalization" due to the spin-off boards, I also think that chinkmoot's—very poor—implementation of the new captcha and the removal of the IP count contributed to that. Now a lot of retards can easily get away with permanently bumping their threads like a pseudo-general. This practice was always there in slower boards, but given these recent changes now you can do it in places like /v/, too.
>>39536827wait you can self bump on /v/? can you? I didn't think you could even recently. could have sworn I tried bumping a thread the other day and it didn't work
>>39470286/b/ once the face of 4chan has now faded into complete irrelevance due to becoming a porn spam board. Back in the day it used to have all kinds of threads you can think of and pushed out so much internet culture/pol/ which has been the fastest board for nearly a decade now is facing a similar situation minus porn spam. There are rarely interesting threads or 'internet culture' there. Threads take 8-12 hours to reach 300 replies which is a first in it's historySame with /r9k/This needs to be studied
>>39470286its been on a steady die-off since 2004-2014 now almost dead in 2020-2025 almost totally dead like vaxxies
Time is literally going faster, that's why the internet is so sparse now, there isn't enough time to create content for it.Time is literally faster than it used to be, people don't even age like they used to because of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J3SlZSLIZgTime moving faster, time shortening, was prophesied by Jesus as a sign of the end.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.”Matthew 24:21“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”
>>39536777Dem trips doe anon. You speak truth.
It takes ages to post, no wonder people can't be bothered with this site anymore
>Now, Meta is planning to take the next step: integrating these AI creations as Facebook and Instagram “users” in themselves.>"We expect these AIs to actually, over time, exist on our platforms, kind of in the same way that accounts do," Connor Hayes, Meta’s vice-president of product for generative AI, told FT.>"They’ll have bios and profile pictures and be able to generate and share content powered by AI on the platform"
>>39537991that, and no one wants to interact with over-medicated and terminally online schizos
>>39537286isn't it just incredibly spread out in different ways? I dont think thats necessarily fasterThere's so much happening
>>39497751muh le reddit is le bad cause i cant say NiggerFaggoTranny
>>39470286I remember a site called debate.org that was massive in the previous decade. Apparently it shut down a few years ago due to inactivity.Now only quora is left among these type of websites, and it seems to be more unfun than ever before
>>39539276Interesting quora thread where they have a similar conversation over their site's condition as 4chan normally doeshttps://www.quora.com/Is-Quora-dead-Why-do-most-questions-nowadays-get-such-few-answers-compared-to-the-past
>>39530701
>>39537991Bullshit, all it did was cull the bots.
4chan really died for real the day after biden won. i remember and it was all orchestrated. i bet this sort of thing happened on other major sites too with either this event or other events
>>39470286>jablollercaustthe people using all this stuff got decimated. i cant complain i wanted you all dead here we are.
>>39522995oh the captchas. I got it mixed up with the 900 second cooldown, which is the worst change in the site's history
>>39511516The Internet in your smartphone is not the same as in your PCAnd this proves the entire thing fake, because it'd be trivial to post a comparison when this happens of both versions.But they're all the same and never match, I guess the post had a good going until this, sometimes less is more, because the more you add, the higher the chance you slip.
>>39470286anon people are touching grass.
>>39489361Oh yeah, something like that killed my interest in the Mandela Effect subreddit, I would create new threads, and get plenty of replies, but they were about unconfirmed effects asking if it was only me, but I now was supposed to post them on the designated mega thread.And over there my posts were ignored, so I stopped caring and posting them.
>>39500204that you're a slave, neoyou were born into bondage
>>39470286/x/ was always slow, but the fact that this is the same thread I saw 10 days ago, and not a new one about the same topic, is fucking wild. Are people stopping using the internet?
>>39533335This. Not only is everybody on Discord. There's other crap like Amino most millennial people here don't even knows exists. They're closed ecosystems, and mobile based. In a way the internet has never been larger or more compartmentalized.
I know some "alt chan's" that are literally ten times faster than almost any board on 4chan these days.
>>39544668so fucking true, why is this thread still up?
It feels mostly empty too tho.
>>39544706>everybody on Discord>>39544736 I forget the quote apparently.
>>39511516I remember when the email leaks during the election the whole calling underage prostitutes "cheese pizza" became an integral part of the conspiracy, and nobody on 4chan even mentioned, ever, that that's what anons used to call it back in the /b/ days. And then there were other kinds of pizza and "hot dogs" and whatnot being used as code, too. As if someone had taken oldfag imageboard slang and tried to build lore around it (in a very normalfag way). It was bizarre. And again, nobody saw it as strange.I think the whole Trump phenomenon (on all sides) is surrounded with much more profound psyops than we think.
It's probably an age thing. All the sites you mentioned were big 10 years ago. A lot of the people who used them stopped frequenting them as much, and most new internet users are on tiktok, IG and whatever else is the new thing. I also disagree with reddit, I feel like it expanded horizontally. There are a lot of niche subreddits with a decent amount of users now. It used to be everyone on the same couple of big subreddits.
Take a look at the youngest around you and how they use the internet, and you'll understand.My younger cousin, a late millennial/early zoomer, and the epitome of normalfaggotry spends his free time either reading, or watching YouTube. TikTok when he needs to kill time. Instagram to show off to others. WhatsApp to talk to others.That's it.See, the thing is there is no longer such a thing as "the internet". It's just the normal communications infrastructure of the modern world.Personal websites and forums are a thing of the past. Being part of an online community outside of the mainstream is again becoming something outside the norm.And if we're not careful, we might see the day the internet is not something where anyone can publish content. It might become "read only" for those who are not "content providers". The internet so far has been a massive anomaly, and you will do well to remember all that you learned from it when it goes away. Because you were privileged among the slave class to have enjoyed it like this.
>>39470286>is the internet dying? It died a long time ago, before it became full of bots. The internet died the minute people stopped making real content and instead only focused on the dollar. The internet is just another money making machine, hence why everything has to be safe and sanitized, because god forbid a dirty word cost money in ad sales and product placement deals. Companies still use youtube to try and sell because the idea is that the content you enjoy and the person who is the face of that channel is the brand and is selling "authenticity" because you're familiar with them and "know" them in a quasi para social kind of way, but the truth is you don't actually know them. The internet can't experience infinite growth, nothing can, at some point you max out and can only hope to make a few more after you plateau at the highest height possible. People have lives to live, they can't and don't all want to just be glued to a screen 24 7. People have kids, friends to meet up with, jobs to take care of, things to do, or just don't need to be using the internet all day every day.
>>39544921>the internet is shitty because people don't use it enough and those who do use it don't use screens often enoughthat's certainly a take
>>39532892/x/ stopped trying to be creative after everyone called liminal spaces and backrooms zoomer trash
>>39545027That's what you got out of it? I meant that it is physically impossible to spend every second of your life on the internet and besides, people have things to do that keep them away from using the internet. The internet is dead and a former shell of itself because it is corporatized and sanitized now, it isn't real people having fun and posting real videos, but manicured and sanitized material meant to make money.
>>39470286All is fake
>iS tHe InTeRn3tz dY1nG?!?!?You are all fucking mentally ill. I see these threads every fucking day here. I'm done.
>>39487992>it's like an echochamberEverywhere on the internet is like this. It's depressing because you used to be able to have actual conversations, but there's no money in talking only outrage sells clicks. >>39470286I unironically believe Gen z/the younger gens talk in small cliques with eachother on whatsapp/discord/whatever and let AI/google tell them everything else. Grim.
>>39470286I hope we all die, and soon :)
>>39507120Unless he starts WWIII by being a retard most likely it will be a lame duck presidency where he causes a bunch of harm by deleting a bunch of regulatory systems and then getting butt-fucked by swing-in midterm dems when food prices stay high.
>>39545832He just stated hes continuing the ukraine aid for the ukraine war.Hes flipping a 180 on everything so far he was against.
>>39545915I believe it. Trump is a liar and an idiot. He will deregulate to appease the people that give him money/attention, not because he thinks it's a good idea for the average citizen lmao. Supporting Ukraine is an easy geopolitical win for the US
>>39545949One thing i fear is he'll take social security from the people who already have it or invested into it.Tons will die or become homeless, i doubt he'll replace it if he does remove it.One thing thats odd is trump isnt even in office yet. Whys he flipping 180s? People are starting to hate him before he gets in. Usually presidents do this crap when in office I think somethings afoot alot of them dont care anymore.On a more concerning note, he wanted to invite Bill gates to his fancy home on new years eve.We all know what they're going to plan now.
>>39532179I couldn't remember the name of the base but thanks for jogging my memory, was thinking about this the other dayThread discussing it including an archived link to the blogposthttps://www.reddit.com/r/Blackout2015/comments/4ylml3/reddit_has_removed_their_blog_post_identifying/?rdt=36962
>>39473372>moderation is goodYou still haven't learned yet? Or are you just refusing to accept the truth? Moderation is what killed 4chan. Specifically allowing all mods to be fucking federal agents. The elephant in the room about 4chan is Moot fucking betrayed us all to the goddamn US government. >he was forced toDeath would have been preferable to selling his soul. He is and will always be the fool king of faggots forever. Every mod is a fucking cop. And this isnt just true of 4chan, but actually everywhere that has high moderation. Eventually, the hired mods who arent feds are fired or quit and all of them are replaced with US gov people.Moderation is cancer. It is better that we risk allowing gore and child murder to propagate instead of giving even 1 mod job to a fed, accidently or otherwise. If you disagree with this, you haven't been properly seeing reality for the last 10 or so years.
>>39537255This is the reason this place is dying. 4Chan became just another place for people to chase attention, dopamine, and validation. There's nothing really new here anymore.
I've noticed something about 4chan and other forums where true organic useful discussion doesn't occur even on those older forums, while on 4chan it flourished.I suspect the reason as to why is because back then both normies and autists hung out on the same places online.now that the normies have their internet (see intranet) they are filtered by these big platforms and basically never have to come across sites like this ever again short of pure chance.I would say this is a good thing overall.on older forums the occasional normie only stifled conversation.the bad news is that accessing mainstream internet will require more authentication over time which would make it harder to submit memetic viruses unless you had access to those platforms through ownership of them.but that plus the bot culling still doesn't explain the low engagement.
Facebook's going to use The Dead Internet theory as a business model>You will talk to the bots
>>39487992Theres exactly 0 chance this happened if you corrected some conservative on a libshit platform like reddit. You'd probably be telling the truth if they made you a mod on 6 subs at once though.
>>39493891Yes, but it now reached normies like me
I'm sure everyone has jeet fatigue after the last week or so but there is truth to it.
