4chan is dead. Viral culture killed it. This place is actively recommended to redditors and twitter users on a daily basis. The original users are out-numbered by migrants.

These are the people who take up the majority of the board. This makes me nauseous. Only within the past week have I realized how massive this cancer is. I look at Reddit and Twitter for the first time in my life and there are THOUSANDS ON THOUSANDS of users with pepe and wojak profile pictures posting about 4chan and trying to be as witty as possible in order to get more upvotes and retweets. When did this start? Did this start when r/4chan become popular? When did that happen? 2014? 2015? This actually makes me nauseous. I think I'm done with this place.

Defaulting back to frames, disabling (you) notifications, or removing the archives/catalog would go a long way to frustrating a lot of moron users that need instant gratification and drivd them off. That, or a system where detecting cookies for reddit, ifunny, twitter, etc. creates a cookie for 4chan that blocks site access, analogous to sadpanda. There are apparently a ton of idiots that get filtered by the panda, despite how easy it is to bypass or find information on it with a quick google search.

People with sense moved on to more obscure image boards. 4chan has been in the news for a decade now. Anyone and their grandma know about it at this point.

Due to media pressure and monetary interests moderation becomes stricter and stricter over time. The culture here is not much different to reddit at this point.
But you can't blame the owners for doing so, just look at what happened to 8 chan. It got nuked permanently from the entire internet just because it actually allowed free speech, attracting all the people who are not allowed to discuss their political ideas anywhere else. 4chan used to be as free as that, not just when it comes to political ideas, but also general dissident and disruptive ideas. You won't see any of those on here anymore.

But Anon, OC was the backbone of the site in its heyday. Without archives and inflated bump limits, OC was necessary to be remembered for more than a thread or two, and drove creativity in the board communities. Now everyone just recycles the same tired memes from 10 years ago, and people craving recognition just post opinions guarenteed to get (You)s rather than make the effort to produce fresh and innovative content.

Phone posting has killed creativity with a lack of tools to participate with, and has opened the floodgates to many normalfags that would otherwise not stick around on their computers all day to shitpost (as opposed to the phones they always have on hand).

Worst of all, since everyone has their phone on them at all times of the day, the site is now flooded at all hours by low quality posts, pushing meaningful or exciting content off the board with repetitive topics, generals, shitposts, and other things that fly in the face of the site's original purpose of transient and creative anonymous community.

I hate twitter more than reddit. I’m absolutely fucking disgusted by the twitter vermin that have polluted the entire internet with their complete fucking garbage. Everyone, everywhere has been ruined by that stupid fucking site.

Every aspect of my life seems to have been invaded and made worse by twitter. You turn on the news and they’re arguing about a tweet, you turn on the sports channel and they’re arguing about a tweet, you go out with your friends and they’re either sitting on Twitter, showing you a “hilarious” tweet they say, or regurgitating an opinion word for word they got from twitter while passing it off as their own.

A decade ago I could escape to thei internet to get away from the normalnigger menace, now the average normalnigger hasa worse internet addiction than I did back then. All day and all night they stare at their screens consuming mindless trash on their faggot little social media websites. Look at this person’s “take”, look at this hilarious “meme” that compares two different things, look at this reaction image from a totally different context that I’m applying to this current situation. Fuck you, fuck your “takes”, fuck your “memes”, and fuck your little social media profiles.

Normalniggers ruin everything, without exception. When the iPhone came around and the normalnigger finally got introduced to the internet the internet became a reflection of the normalnigger’s disgusting brain. Everything is highly centralized around like three websites, you can’t say anything controversial or you’re banned, and you always have to have your little picture next to any opinion you offer (“How can I know if what he’s saying is true if I don’t know whether or not I should hate him for being ugly?”). Fuck normalniggers, I really despise them with every ounce of my being.

Agreed, Twitter is a scourge. Idiots have found that if they get a handful of people to post fake outrage about anything on Twitter, they can get things banned or cancelled.

Which is weird isn't it. the first few years I was here I wouldn't go on /pol/ because it was just the nazi board in my mind. It was some time in early 2014 I started going because of the Ukraine civil war stuff, there would be interesting threads where they posted youtube channels of Ukrainian civilians uploading what was happening.

/pol/ has been diluted a lot since Trump but jumping from Reddit to full on 'nigger hate' and holohoax threads seems like a bit of a culture shock. A board like /tv/ seems a much better entry point for normals, lots of innocuous threads about braindead movies/tv shows, the meme culture there is mostly childish and simple, and the mods actually delete and ban racism in recent years. /tv/ does have the last contingent of actual pedoposters but they kind of stick to their one thread at a time and they rarely post illegal stuff.

Pol is fine, even good for what it is, it's just a big board with a lot of retards. Plenty of decent stuff there especially for 'happenings'. The main thing is the pol bogeyman combined with reinforcement of that by certain types of crossposters (that feed off the bogeyman). The whole site has increasingly gone downhill, just that the locus of the site atm is pol. Even so, I'd say there are worse boards, all of the boards under 'Japanese Culture' and 'Video Games' seem to attract the worst posters by far. But 4chan is very popular so naturally most of its userbase is fucking retarded. The anonymity and culture of it contributes to the newly arrived retards thinking its good to be unhinged and stupid with no temperament.

Smaller imageboards are dogshit though because they're just echochambers, often enforced by the moderation. With 4chan you can have heaps of actually smart and unique people posting together just as a result of having a lot of users. With others you get 2-6 posters that don't fit the collectivethink, and they either leave or get removed. I'm pretty sure they're like this because some wouldbe colonisers got scared of 4chan and instead colonised other imageboards. You often see that they have a problem with 4chan and it's not like oldfags dissing what it has become and romanticising the past, it's more like twitterusers getting mad about someone saying nigger or making a joke or most importantly, questioning their ideas and beliefs.

What are you on OP? 4chan is not popular, recommended to people, or even looked up to. It's always been trash (for the most part), and always will be. The reputation of /pol/ and the other popular boards is not a positive one.

Stop with the damn hysterics and get a grip. The containment boards do their job and the general edginess that permeates this abortion of a site keeps the fags away. That's how it's always been, and that's how it always will be.

Collapse of the world order, basically. This is a symptom of a greater, spiritual problem. How can you fix something if this was its inevitable trajectory? Internet culture was allowed to flourish for long enough. The freedom and inter-connectivity we enjoyed was not for our benefit, but was instated for the future of our enslavement. The only reason 4chan was exceptional was because it had not been compromised yet.

4chan's actually pretty female-heavy, relative to other similar sites. It's genuinely RELATIVELY diverse. Only fifty percent of visitors are Burgerclaps, and only eighty percent have schlongs. Reddit is like 90% Burgerclap and 99% schlong-wielding (one way or another).
