Concerning the Quality of /lit/ at the current time, the Reasons for Degeneration, and the Curse of Board-destruction

Dearest /lit/,

It has come to my attention that the quality of discourse has of late been riddled by meme-warfare and outright shitposting. The purpose of this Thread is to illuminate the Reasons behind the Degeneration and my steps to prevent further destruction of so sublime a topic as literature.

My time here on 4chan has been but 5 years and I feel the age of it well. I remained on /b/ until the traps and lolis and fags took over and have subsequently never returned. It was then I discovered /pol/ (inb4 /pol/-boogeyman) and drank the wine of reactionary politics as quickly as a turk does shag his goats. However, the influx of redditors during and following the election turned my beloved /pol/ from stormfront weeding out Jews to a Donald Trump praising propaganda machine (of extraordinary efficiency). I left for /his/ and /mu/ but was soon bored with such silly shitposting (though superior memes) and outright terrible taste in music. It was then my story turns to the confines of this Holy City of God: /lit/.

/lit/ was everything my heart craved. It was a place where my love of books (so callously disregarded in the realm of reality) was able to, at long last, lift up its eyes to a shining sun and partake of nourishment. A place I could converse with those more well-read than myself and learn snippets along the way. I felt a sense of being in a veritable Lyceum. Alas, our time has been short. What I have finally recognized as a Curse following my movements across 4chan, has taken a hold of this very board. The Soil has become dry and dusty, the trees bare and colorless, the posts pedantic and shitty.

I’m slow as fuck at reading but not because my actual reading speed is that slow, I’m just the poster child of ADD.

Been getting better at focusing with practice and techniques but damn if I could just focus I could read twice as much in the same amount of time.
