/lit/ - Literature

Last thread an anon posted a link to a video he uploaded where he described why he left 4chan that day (or at least tried, he could still be here. I hope not). When looking for that video again on my own, I found this video, which is (relatively) ancient, but is still very relevant despite how much 4chan has changed.

This video was uploaded a few months before I first started using 4chan frequently. I had used this website a bit before the summer of 2014 but never really got absorbed into it until then. I wonder, if I had seen that video around that same time, would I still be using this website? Had I never used 4chan (and later 2x4chan) I know I would be in a much better place today. Anyways, it's true that this website is a time-waster and is not good for the soul. I've managed to quit it for months at a time but always seem to get dragged back in. Hours upon hours are spent on this place day after day. It has been said time and time again that literally anything is more productive than this place. I don't know what I'm going to do to fill this vacuum of time that has been created, but it can't be any worse than browsing here for hours each day. Maybe I'll actually read all the books I've told /lit/ I was going to read. I doubt this will be goodbye forever, but I hope to stay off of this place long enough to change for the better. I've archived all my reaction images and memes and flung them to some far off place in my hard drive, and I'm going to uninstall 4chanX immediately after posting this. I might even block the website as well, but that probably won't do much to keep me from coming back since I can get past web blocks pretty easily. No one probably cares about all this but if there's at least one other person here who wants to quit this place I hope this post can help them take the right step forward.

So long. Adieu. See you. Goodbye.
