>years ago because I always sort by views
YouTube keeps raising the bar for views - remember when Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" was super popular with 25 million hits?
Nowadays any Vevo release has 100 millions with ease, and you can start considering it a success if it hits 500 millions.

Sorting by views and getting old content might mean the community keeps dropping.

You should sort by Mylists. Always.

Anyway, Niconico is perfect for me except for the dated player and free accounts.

I mean, look at this: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm28345092

>bitrate: 649 kb/s
>Stream #0:0(und): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p(tv, smpte170m/unknown/unknown), 1280x720, 520 kb/s
> Stream #0:1(und): Audio: aac (LC) (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 44100 Hz, stereo, fltp, 125 kb/s

The audio is OK, but that video bitrate is unnecessarily constricting, and more limiting than Youtube in 2010, yet alone today.

Furthermore, the author should of made it 480p to conserve quality, but the encoding was left in their hands. Usually, I think this is a good thing, because you can make a high detail render on Niconico without worrying about re-encoding. However, the 700kb/s and 40MB limit for free users, and the 100MB limit for Premium users is damned limiting in this day and age.

When I reupload videos, I usually have to run them through avisynth to make them presentable on Youtube because of encoding oddities and artificially low resolutions.

You pay for it, but not with money.
The youtube model is based on targeting their entire website at retards who are:
A. Too tech illiterate to install a decent adblock
B. Half the free time and stupidity to spend hours every day doing nothing but watching youtube videos
...which just so happens to be the 13 year old boys demographic.
So now Youtube's entire business scheme and website design are geared towards making it attractive to said 13 year old boys and promoting content these 13 year old boys would enjoy. This is where dumb features like autoplay, "Recommended for you" and "Watch it again" come from. It's why youtube's default comment sorting is so retarded, and why shit like the "Trending" page and "Music" category exist. Channels like smosh and finebros are what rakes in all the money, so google made a website that accommodates them.

Say what you will about NND (especially in recent years), at least they still function like a video sharing website and not some poor imitation of kids' TV. They know what they want to do and what niche they want to fill, they set out to do it, and for the most part they succeed. You, dumb gaijin, are not their target demographic. You should feel thankful they don't just block all non-Japanese IPs and be done with it.
When the userbase (and moreover - the HARDCORE users who willing to pay a monthly fee) is your main source of income, you'll be doing what you can to appeal to them and do what good for the userbase rather than the whims and demands of faceless corporations and ad-generators. Just like in 4chan, I'd rather have this shitty captcha/pass system than have google dictate what the website should be.

You don't have to watch the videos that Youtube recommends to you, and you can subscribe to channels you do like and search for videos which are not pushed by Youtube.

Also, you can upload 4K60fps 20+ GB on Youtube for free, and you only take a slight hit in encoding quality.

Niconico was originally a comment wrapper for Youtube. When Youtube cut the plug, the developers had to come up with a way to share videos while minimizing bandwidth.

This is one of those byproducts that remains a "feature," along with:

3. Users responsible for proper encoding

I kinda wish 4chan did this as well.
Never caved to shitty FYAD kiddies and world2ch.

Everyone would still be in trip and give zero shits about stupid anonymous discussion.
This site was never for serious discussion! It was for shitposting about anime and sharing hentai.
And more to the point, everyone would still be having fun.

When this site switched from trip-majority to anonymous-majority, it lost its community.
This sites users knew what made each other happy, made each other laugh.
Now? Practically every single board is a constant war with its 20+ separate communities.
4chan is not a community site any more, it is a content site. Those are always inferior.

/f/, at least up until recently, was mostly free of newshitposters, simply because the entry-level to have your own thread was higher than other boards.
The reason this site is so shit is me-too faggots wanting to have their own shit threads 24/7, filling the boards with nothing but nonsense.

The only kiddies that wanted that stupid shit were the actual weebs (world2ch cunts) and FYAD for their epic shitposting.

Everyone else hated the concept.
Nobody bothered much if people never used a trip, but they never sperged over it like anonymous users do today when they see a tripcode.
Anonymous users ruin 99% of threads for varying values of 100%.

This site was a split from a forum, IRC and another forums communities. The fuck makes you think they wanted anonymous discussion?
They just wanted another place to shitpost and discuss anime and hentai and it went from there.

This sites community were more creative in the first few years than every year up till now combined.
The content WAS shit, but it was our shit.
Now practically every board can only steal content from every other generic content site, which is exactly what 4chan is now.

Generals were literally an enforced rule at a time, it is called "stop making duplicate threads you mongs".
The fact it gained a different name changes nothing.

The fact there are boards on this site that have communities that cannot discuss a topic properly without sperging over each others dicks because it says "general" in the title is proof that the community itself is the problem.
All these me-too kiddies making their own threads so they can be part of the epic 4chins "community". (there is no community, just warring communities)

That was proof enough for me to never go to /a/ ever again after that craptastrophe.
Even /v/ could talk in generals like normal people. (outside of shit threads like anything e-sports, sports-like banter is the height of faggotry)
Now /v/ is as worthless as /a/ is thanks to /vg/, you know, that place where people go to actually talk about games.

There used to be a time where not a SINGLE person would freak out over bans, or moot and mods talking in threads.
When forced anonymous happened, and invisible moderation, this site completely changed hands in the space of a year. The driver was now a bumbling fucktard with ADHD. (and moot sans Snacks, the only person that kept this fucking site sane because the rest of the mods were pussywhipped cowards)

What drew me to /jp/ first at the beginning was that it felt like a community. Now it's just a place to talk about things. Not that there's anything wrong with talking about things (high quality on-topic discussion!), but in my mind it's not any different than any number of places you could talk about things anymore.

I might have been able to accept that change if it actually resulted in an increase in the amount of high-quality on-topic discussion, but it didn't even do that. (And to begin with I'm a little bit suspicious of that ideal anyway, because if what you really wanted was to learn more about any given /jp/ hobby you would be far, far better served reading various Japanese sources than talking about it in /jp/. People come here because they enjoy socializing.)

>I don't even know why I'm here anymore.
I've spent too much time here to leave and was too antisocial and/or elitist to join any number of small communities that have popped up over the years.

>>14920646
Hostility towards identity is one thing, but I think that there's an even larger overarching problem of hostility towards, well, everything. In a place where people reflexively act like assholes towards everyone it's much easier to tear things down than build anything up. Everything has to be perfect or it's going to get totally ripped apart.

The ideal is that everything would therefore become perfect but this never actually happens, and the end result is that everybody just ends up posting in safe, sterile patterns. Do anything weird and you're a "bad poster," and we can't have that. Fun must be carefully rationed out, or else it's cancerous shitposting. Sometimes I feel like the pressure to conform is even stronger here than it is in supposedly more oppressive communities. The whole place has been overcome with this weird-ass anonymous version of the Law of Jante.

(The really dangerous thing about Jante is that all the principles sound like great rules for making sure that nobody acts like a fuckwit, and it's hard to criticize them without sounding like you're out to deliberately shit on the community or simply a clueless outsider. The net effect, of course, suppresses expression more neatly than any set of actual laws. I guess there are plenty of people here who do idolize that kind of collective-minded thinking in Japan.)

>invisible moderation
The shift to strictly rules-based, strongly enforced, invisible moderation has always bothered me. It's hard for to argue against but I really haven't been happy with the results except maybe that it's easier to keep out certain kinds of undesirable posters.

ITT: Fags who want 4chan to be a /soc/ forum instead of a weeb imageboard.

The point of 4chan is to
>Post images
>Discuss on topic content
>Be able to do so anonymously

It is not a hang out club for a group of friends to talk about what the fuck ever. That is what IRC and normal forums are for. /jp/ is at its best now because people are talking about on topic stuff instead of making random posts about stupid unfunny shit. Honestly, I've been here since 2004, and while I admit /jp/ sort of felt like old /b/ at the beginning, that's not /jp/'s purpose. Furthermore, everyone who whines about current /jp/ just wants to go back to circlejerking in their Saten cocksucking threads like those are better than the content in generals. I don't know why you lot think daily/hourly dose threads are amazing original content and generals are pure AIDS.

4chan's problem is people who think it is a meme factory and trolling training ground. /jp/'s elitism is what's kept it from going to shit. They way /jp/ is now is better than /v/a/vg/b/ and all the other shitty boards. If you need to have random shit all over the board to enjoy it, it might be time to migrate to /s4s/.

>>14920932
>too antisocial
Here's your problem. You can't stand people having peaceful communication, so you need to be disruptive with shitposts and then get angry when people call them out on being worthless tripe that you should have spent the time killing yourself instead of posting.

Fun is Rika Nipah. Fun is not the 10,000th hoopdog thread. I don't even know why people got into posting the same shit over and over in its own thread instead of using them as funny reference. (e.g. how people use "for you")

>invisible moderation
This is a necessary evil, like the captcha. Dumbasses who have personal vendettas against moderators and will tie them to a name made it necessary. The same dumbasses who led to it us being unable to delete threads on /jp/ and having a huge timer between threads.

Also trip users were always faggots.

Youtube had a pseudo-chat overlay once.
It was hilariously abused.

It let viewers make their own "annotations" on top of videos. It might even still exist.
It basically led to full-video annotations at the maximum time they can stay open (forgot how long, 5 seconds I think)

>>14921267
>to do so anonymously
That means without login. That is ALL it has ever meant.
You anonfucks corrupted the meaning.

If you were here from 2004, you would know this site was perfectly fine while in trips for the first few years before it started falling out of favour for all the massive influx of new people from hearing about Habbo raids from 2006 onwards.
Before then the new users were manageable and actually lurked instead of shitfisting their way in.

You are absolutely correct in that it IS Elitism that kept this place sane.
People coming in posting with a trip were EASY to single out because you actually had an ID.

But, of course, the thing lost on people is trips are JUST AS Anonymous as Anonymous posting is.
I had 20 trips since 2004. Last actively used one was a gamedev one in 2013 before /agdg/ went to shit.

Equally the constant forced shitposting that you speak of never really started until forced anonymous happened on /b/.
The only other problem were DESU spamming fags from /a/ because they were mad over being kicked out of /b/.

Also, you can still have anonymous and visible moderation.
The moderation being 100% invisible means 90% of the users of this site will never know what is bad because, lets face it, nobody reads the damn rules.

Lookit, lookit, /v/ was completely fine.
After /b/tards fled from /v/ in 2007 because of Chanology, /v/ died in a month.
/v/ was this picture from the start till that point.
As were most boards.

Tripfags were always attention whoring faggots. I don't know why you trip-orbiters enable them so. Were you part of the same group calling random attention whoring females on /b/ so-and-so-chan?

If you want to use a trip so bad, just use a fucking trip and don't act like a faggot. I suspect you'll fail at that though.
Of course this doesn't mean there weren't people using trips who weren't problems. If they really contributed though, they can contribute with or without a trip.

>>14921569

That's what the ban screen and https://www.4chan.org/bans is for. Not reading the rules is their problem. They'll get banned and learn the hard way. What do you want the mods to do? Take that jannycat picture and put it in a sticky at the top of the board with a ban on the post and a mod post under saying they'll ban people for posting that? That will really tickle the W-bros' balls.

tl;dr of it is a procedural world RPG.
It only saves changes to it, making memory management very optimal. Changes are offsets. Harder to get head around at first, but glad I did it that way.

Offline "MMO"-like world, massive. Similar to say Dwarf Fortress Adventure mode. But with an actual functioning UI, not an autistic-pre-pre-not-even-alpha-yet interface. Fucking Toady, come on man.
I never even realized how similar it was to DF until around 2008 when I happened to see a DF thread and hopped in.
Fairly similar resource system.

Main goal was to become king of the world really.
You could form parties like any RPG, but in a more natural way.
DF Adv Mode is only just getting the ability to build your own forts in it, which I think looks pretty neat.
That damn interface though. I wish he would spend an update just tidying the interface up. The menu and control system is horribly inconsistent.


It is in devhell at present. Life got in the way.
I will post pictures if the thread is even still up when I get to PC.

>>14921638
Fact is, this site started out majority tripcode users.
As soon as moot (got help to) get trips running, everyone and their grandmother were in trip.
This site was always for "attention-whores", as you so incorrectly put it.
The actual attention-whores were a minority and were regularly banned even then. (except on /b/ where it grew out of control with camwhore cunts)

As for Ban screen, that doesn't help the rest of the people. That is the point.
Seeing what sort of posts got a person banned was more of a learning process than getting banned. Banning was never really effective, but it was still annoying and people wanted to prevent it. Visible banning would be even more effective today with 4chans new and improved normie community.

Also, no, chan-whore faggots were the worst.
That is the reason I stopped going to /b/ because nothing was getting done about it.
That Crackycunt killed /b/, and the numerous clones.
But when they tried to deal with it, instead they caved to the whiners and let them have their camwhores. And 7chan was born. lol
That is why this place fucking blows 10 kinds of ass now. The moderation caved to pressure from outside influence and shitposters. /b/day should have been a good thing.

The fact you haven't seen the point means you have already made your mind up and never read anything at all. There is no point discussing it.

Yeah the awkard interface is mainly what made me shy away from DF adventure mode, even though it works for fortress mode I guess.

The idea of an offline procedural RPG is pretty enticing because it gives so much opportunities for vast and great concept ideas but then something like a basic combat engine takes up all of the time and the end result is a 10 minute Momodora experience (although its still a good game).
But I think derailing this thread any further with gamedev blogging won't really fit here since this isnt the place for such a discussion.

Look. And by look, I mean look at https://www.4chan.org/bans.. The majority of bans are for blatant shitposting, usually of things they know have gotten deletions and bans before or else they are for NSFW images on moot's stupid SFW enabled boards. People who get banned know why they're getting banned. When posts get deleted people know why they got deleted. There aren't any esoteric rules being enforced that people aren't picking up on because of silent moderation.

Not just personal vendettas, but also the overall degree to which certain people felt the need to declare war on moderation in general. Though I guess trying to find out individual moderator's identities so you can use them to disrupt the board even more was part of that.

For normal people it's just harmless fun, but I guess if you're mentally unstable it can end up like this. Then again, maybe the crying was part of the act too, who knows.
