This image isn't completely honest.

4chan was way worse back in the 2006s. It had spam unchecked up it's ass, too many generals clogging up space, a general lack of moderation, lotsa viruses, and a bunch of psychopats posting gorn and animal torture.

Current 4chan is a saint by comparison.

except posting gorn n shiet is considered tame compared to getting trump into office, or memeing white nationalism to the general population.
gee I wonder why.

looks a bit too much like a tmnt, otherwise its pretty good. hatching sucks when seen full size, that's one thing you can improve.

>2006
>Generals

There weren't generals, people just posted multiple threads based on a single topic relating to a show/game. Don't know why people get so bent out of shape over having multiple threads on one thing so long as the topics of discussion are different, I'd like to see them try Code Geass era /a/ or Avatar era /co/.

>and a bunch of psychopats posting gorn and animal torture.
Did you exclusively browse /b/ or something back then? Most boards were free from that, although in regards to spam, lack of moderation, and viruses you're pretty spot on. Things got worse late 2007-~2011 when the site blew up tremendously and moderation couldn't keep pace, and really I'd only say the last few years are better or on equal footing with the early stuff.

I hate the 2010s, and 4chan is literally over a decade old. Just end everything. I hate everything about 2010s culture really. I guess this is how 90s kids felt in the 2000s. I dont know about you guys, but all the mysticism surrounding 2000s internet for me is gone. We need another boom of independent forum websites.

haven't the cultures and traditions grown more? I mean kek is basically becoming a religion now. I've been on net heavily since about 07-08, memes have gotten way bigger. It seems like internet culture matters more now than it did back then.

it's just sad that forums are gone, social media sites are terrible for interacting with people. just use it to spam each other to get attention and work. i mean there's nothing left except for 4chan, which is trash because it's anonymous

Quality =/= quantitiy

Everythings masked in this air of post modernist irony, nothing feels genuine.

As stupid as it was, the internet used to feel genuine.

Couldn't agree more OP.

Cancelled my schoolism membership, sold my tablet, and threw away all of my sketchbooks.

Such a waste of time. And for what? It's completely unnecessary and serves no purpose.
Art is not needed, especially in today's society where the intellect, personality, and face reigns supreme.

To be honest, the "artistic lifestyle" seems almost like a childish endeavour at this point, and I don't mean any disrespect, but it seems like the most serious artists (asides from guys who are legit conceptartists/illustrators/porn artists but they represent a very low % of dedicated lifters) are also the people with nothing else going on in their lives.
I know this was true with me, I was biggest and most serious about drawing when I was still in uni, working only 15 hours a week, and pretty much just plucking around all the time, going out, with no real life.
To all you kids out there who are getting sucked into the comerical art , try to stop yourself.
So long as you have and maintain decent facial aesthetics, you'll be fine.
Art just not worth it.

Cheers.

I mean, the current ironic shitposting phase (literally the worst era on the internet) will pass. It's already toning down.

The only reason it even is a thing is because the mainstream caught up on the concept of internet culture. It's just a reaction.

actually kids I'd suggest you get a simple safe job first, then use your free time on art. Maybe learn massage therapy or electrician or plumbing, something like that. A job where you can actually get decent money and earn back what you spent on school.

Take a look around you.
Chances are you're in a house.

Guess what someone designed your house. Someone designed your computer. Someone designed your clothes. You know that tablet? I'm sure there was a small team who designed the look of that.

ANYTHING that you see, touch, use has literally been someone elses design.

You know those cubicles that you're going to be stuck in for 40 years? Someone designed that too. Your favorite movie? A bunch of creative teams built that.

To say that art isn't important is to be completely ignorant to the world you exist within. Anything you interact with: the chair you sit in, the desktop UI, any game you can think of, product packages, clothes, shoes, cars, houses, weapons, utility items, utensils, your bed...Everything has been created by an artist.
Art is literally everywhere, and yet you choose to leave this world where your ideas are not only valued, but consumed by the public. Artists create trends, styles, and brands. While just developing pretty illustrations is totally fine, an artist can literally be the creator of anything. UX designers literally create experiences. It may not seem like art, but you are still creating the way someone interacts with something else.

I'm sorry you have to go, and you won't be missed. Sure artists arent going to cure cancer, nor are we going to mix chemicals together. But artists create experiences, and that alone is much more powerful in the long term.

Art is worth it, but it isn't for everyone. Peace man, go into business management or head towards med school. Art can be compared to these other professions because of the amount of training and influence it has on the world. Anything else and you'll be REALLY wasting your life.

God yes. I hate this over consolidation everything is a fucking aggregator churning out the same old stale shit so there is no actual content anymore. That or everything is locked up in social media bullshit where you get to know more about the people you already know!


I miss the old various independent fora where, dear god, strangers!! would meet and talk about whatever mutual interest brought them all together and people where more open and willing to make new friends.


It was a completely different world.... The current year is shit. 4chan is shit. Reddit is shit. Facebook is shit. Everything is shit.

The internet used to be this exciting, new, barely understood thing, and finding a website you liked used to feel like joining a secret clubhouse.

I guess the best metaphor for what I mean would be: the old days were like happening down some back alley you had never seen before, walking down a twisting cobblestone corridor to find a nondescript plain door implanted in the wall. Inside that door was a weird, quirky, and niche bookshops that just happened to contain a bunch of stuff you were interested in, and a bunch more that you had never heard about but became interested in. Usually you were the only person in the shop, but sometimes there would be one or two other people, and they were pretty cool, and into the same stuff as you.

The Internet today is like finding out that same bookstore was bought out and replaced with a Barnes and Noble. Still neat, but a far cry from the personal nature of before.
