THIS BOARD IS DEAD

[JustanotherANON No.14727736]

After thinking about it for a while, I've come to the conclusion that this board is dead because of an influx of people with very rudimentary math skills.
Look at the IQ threads (or IQ general now, kek), and you'll see people doing the same mistake social scientists/retards usually do, since they've never taken a single course in statistics.

I miss when this board was full of venerable, autistically erudite, yet degenerate oldfags; people who just knew their shit. These days, it's nothing but underage phoneposters regurgitating whatever their favorite e-celeb said.

Yes the board has definitely suffered quite a bit in quality these last few years because of the pandemic.
It used to be so great, I remember fairly advanced discussion going on in nearly every thread. Cambridge math PhDs and shit posting too.
I think the biggest problem right now is that we have too few interesting threads up, thats why every now and then I try to start a cool thread.
Maybe everyone should aim to do the same.

Ive been on /sci/ since 2019, and its been the exact same, lmao. Dumbass. Nothing has changed. The only somewhat productive time on /sci/ was on the discord server. This board has always been fucked, since probably 2016. Idk. That's what people say. But that claim of yours that /sci/ has degenerated over 2 years is Bullshit. It's been degenerate and unproductive FOR 2 years. Constant. Same.

Idiot, newfag.

Yeah, it started going to shit then. It definitely has degenerated bro, and big time.
I've been here since I started my bachelors in 2016.
It used to be way better.
Or well, it might be that since my knowledge has advanced so much ever since the board just seems to have degenerated when it fact it just has stayed pretty much the same.
I think it just has degenerated to be honest

>>14727833
I think it's you advancing in knowledge, also you being here since 2016. You said 2 years. I can testify the changes in two years, not before. many grad students complained about how /sci/ turned into IQ land and a bunch of low level nonsense in 2019, to me. Thats another testimony.

By the time I was browsing sci, I was into topology and diff geo, while most posters were like 15 and asked stupid bullshit. Its always been a low level board: dumb math questions (basic algebra, or calculus I stuff), IQ threads, climate change.

I never had hope. But I read that sci once made a contribution to a math problem. So, that does suck knowing such things existed, and now its gone.

Its astonishing that despite the crazy amount of content the internet provides there is not one centralized hub where apolitical, rational and reasonably educated people can access a reliable source of news, science related topics, self education programs, and generally useful information. All without spin, an agenda or a political slant. So far as is reasonably possible.

I used to watch Al Jazeera for world news. But the outbreak of the Ukraine war showed just how facile their reporting is.

I want to come home, log into a site that shows a brief summary of news, with further detail available if I am interested, gives a selection of science and maths videos to watch which aren't some childish bullshit but also aren't PhD level, do some online study on whatever topic I want, and then watch a short documentary about history, or how to build something, or how to fix a toilet, or an impartial and balanced discussion about electric cars.
Instead I have to spend almost as much time plowing through all the bullshit before I can find something, usually at random, that is of interest and which isn't obviously biased. But because I clicked on some shit Vsauce video, or wanted to watch a Wet Leg music video, fucking google decides I want to watch lots more of that.
I would have liked to have learned more about Covid without 90% of every video or article being some Government tripe, some idiot's disinformation, or some lunatic pro-vaxxer or lunatic anti-vaxxer talking through his ass. An interview with medical professional and researchers around the world, with verifiable credentials, would have been nice.
It would be nice to have a search function that filters on the basis of user inputs. Like your age, education, interests. Basically allows you to customize the amount of prescribed and random content that you want to be exposed to. But fucked if I can find anything like that.

This place was never good, and you're a delusional fuck if you think otherwise. This place is a cesspool of anti-intellectualism, garbage, and degeneracy. This is due to the fact that this board mostly attracts the lower percentile of the academic class, if anyone here were actually smart or skilled in their craft, they wouldn't seek this place out for discussion or validation, they would have plenty of stimulation given their academic standing. The rest are schizos, /pol/tards, and self studiers (LOL) that have convinced themselves that they're doing something significant to distract from the ever growing dread of their shitty life, biding their time until they an hero. The old days were no different, there was maybe one or two good threads here and there, but it was all the same shit, attracting all the same garbage. If you're someone of halfway decent intellect, stay far away from this place, it doesn't deserve your contributions. This place deserves to burn and its inhabitants hung, shot, or thrown into a gas chamber. The internet and humanity would be better off for it.

I blame the new slider captchas and the fact that the new captchas have recently become harder.
When it was a matter of clicking on 3 fire hydrants or 3 mountains anyone would post.
But now with sliders and 6 letter captchas its just becoming a pause, a hand shift away from one's dick, and a few finger movements too much extra effort.
When the new slider catchas were first introduced it also became painfully obvious that many posters were in-house bots, i.e. part of the 4chan system, since criticisms of the new captchas was frequently met with obviously automated replies to the contrary.

If you look at archives, you will see a very similar cataloug. I am unsure about whether or not math posters left, but I am sure the general way the board has worked is the same. Everytime I asked an advanced question, or wanted to say something I would get no responses. Unlike reddit. This was in 2019. Ive always thought of this in sci. Also, the grad students I talked to were oldfags from 2008 or something. They agreed. Maybe they were lying too though, idk.

I can concede to math posters declining, but you have no proof. All math posters were in generals (math and sqt). This was always the case. As I realized later. If math posters left, I figure it is because most of those posters became trannies, then got bullied- or suddenly got offended.

I met a lot of people into math when I was 16: half of them became SJWs or trannies. I think that's the reason to math posters leaving. In such a case: blame the outside world for pushing tranny propoganda on people. Transphobia has always been common here. I am one included.

In eithercase, as people are born, and more people become radicalized: I feel that new posters will fill this new gap. And the cycle continues. At the school I go to (super leftist) they actually have a club for rightwinged people- because they have to allow contrarian groups- and it has like the most members of any club (~400). This is a leftwinged stem school. Also my math counselor always has this face of disgust when talking about humanities courses and marxism.

So, I think the gap of math posters will fill, IF you are right that math posters left in the first place. In such a case, /sci/ will now be only half as shit as you say it is. Though the cataloug wont change.

>There's no money to be made with that idea.

Exactly. The sort of people this would appeal to are a vanishingly small minority. Unbiased? Balanced? Non-political? Educational? Self improvement? Are you fucking crazy? Only 1% of the population are into that. The cost of building the platform and then reaching that very small user group would exceed the cost of revenue. Even if by some miracle it was successful to any extent it wouldn't be long before copy cats showed up, or worse, one of the big platforms noticed and developed their own "niche" app. The moment you showed any decent revenue is the moment you would be squeezed out.
It could be done if you were already very big and had huge resources to throw at and to defend the project. But in that case why would you bother expending resources on a risky sub par investment? Much easier to just rake in money from the 99% of the population whose idea of intellectual stimulation is watching bimbos pout on Tik Tok
