At some point the majority of newfags stopped coming for /a/ or /b/ and were coming for /v/ or /pol/ instead.
Moot sold out when he realized 4chan was no longer a site for cultivating otaku/anime culture and just yet another normalfag shithole for arguing about culture wars.
Lolis aren't welcome as it scares away those newfags who probably make up 80% of the site traffic and 99% of the advertising dollars as they're too tech illiterate to use adblock.

3rd wave (current): infinite banter (cope,seethe, dilate, ohnonono, etc)

I'm at 17 years (time, not age!), I ALMOST left this place after having just stayed on /jp/ and [s4s] for several years. I have crafted many memes in the meme factory. But even these 2 boards went to shit, filled with people trying too hard, filled with no-fun-allowed crowd.
I finally left like, around 2017-18.
When vtubers started gaining more traction, and one day in 2019 I decided to just come back to /jp/ to see gaki threads, I just happened to spot the vtuber thread and stuck around again. FUCK, LET ME GO. I almost missed it as well. I nearly closed the tab, but I just HAD TO LOOK DOWN and spot the thread.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10680101
I get what you're saying and the names for the labels are wrong but the dates are kinda accurate. I definitely noticed different kinds of newfags during those periods.
>2006 and earlier were all gigaweebs that are probably still hikkiNEETs to this day while lamenting how much the internet has changed and how they wish they could go back to those good old days.
>2007-2009 were /v/irgins who just came to actually talk about video games or underage /b/tards looking for jailbait pictures. Most of them did learn to lurk and assimilated properly into oldfags over time.
>2010-2012 were /adv/, /r9k/, etc tourists who thought 4chan was a dating site and just used it to make friends, pretty much going entirely against the purpose of anonymity. Most of them are now discordfags or became incels and moved to reddit.
>2013 onwards are gamergate tourists and /pol/tards who just came here because they were ostracized from every other social media platform. They're still fucking faggots and never bothered to lurk because they don't respect this site's history, to them it's just another place to argue about politics. They have no interest in anime or video games or anything but attaching themselves to a pet ideology.

Now this is in very broad terms and there's obviously outliers, but it's definitely obvious that every new generation of newfags is worse than the last. 2007 was the only generation that actually assimilated properly after lurking.

I have been banned/warned on /vt/ more than I have on this entire site. Usually for responding to a shitposter/roommate poster. However two of my bans were bullshit, one was for roommate posting when I just posted a Melissa clip talking about her gender (one of her most popular EN clips), one was for off topic posting but it was a fucking Kerin screenshot. I WAS replying to bait with it but still, should have been for low quality not off topic.

But 2007 was arguably the beginning of the end. It was flooded by outsiders on levels not seen since the Reddit invasion.
Chanology faggotry was the worst. In fact, Anonymous was the worst. This site was majority names and trips for years before that kind of faggotry took over thanks to that hyperweeb fuck Menchi. If Snacks never got kicked out thanks to moots childish little tantrum, the site probably wouldn't have went to shit because he'd be able to talk sense in to the dumb prick. God I hope Menchi offed himself. Same with Mohey Pori. Both of them utterly destroyed western imageboard culture.

...does anyone remember when shitting dick nipples was first a thing? I think that was my first contact with this place.

[Anonymous No.]

Newfag (previously underage B&S) here, it’s been like 8-9 months since I discovered the site thanks to /cow/ and searching for Kiara rrats of all things and I wouldn’t have looked back after a certain point if not for @vt__txt reminding me this place exists

I think I only became a regular after April, although it helped that back in February when I was lurking (yes) that site, Reddit was circlejerking over their hate of Mushoku Tensei and things like Reddit Meme Review and r/goodanimemes didn’t convince me to keep browsing it. No, I’m not apologizing

I’ve tried to escape from this site before, but the alternatives are Twitter which is mostly cancer for almost any discussion and MAL which doesn’t give me too much interest and I would only use it for anime. Funny enough, I’ve been lurking on Twitter for almost a year and I only created an account recently, just in case

As for /vt/, I think the most shocking moments, or better said shitstorms, were everything related to the Connor arc and Yubigate, the Hololive x VShojo collabs and Coco’s graduation. Nowadays, I stay in my oshi’s general whenever she’s streaming, browse the catalog mostly ignoring bait, and sometimes visit (and jerk off) to threads like HFZ and UOH

You know? While this board can give migraines due to things like tribalism and dramafagging, it certainly helped me to learn a bit more about vtubing, in the past and the present. I’m still a Holofag, but if I stayed in any other site, I don’t think I would know who is Kaguya Luna, Kuzuha or Pippa. I certainly gained a new perspective of a few things

Oh, I also visit some of the other boards. /a/ is not that bad and I keep going for the MHA threads; /v/ is of questionable quality but I still like visiting it and it’s not totally useless; I only go to /b/ for the loli threads; /pol/ is mental; /qa/ is probably the worst board I visited; I didn’t know /po/ was a thing but I’m glad for its existence. I don’t really care for the rest of the site desu

Reddit is too busy giving themselves pointless badges and I'm pretty sure spending time on Twitter is giving people brain damage.

I thin the board that suffers the most from this is /v/. It's an absolute cesspool now and nigh unbrowseable. It didn't help in the slightest how they spliced it into 4 new boards last year either. Everyone treats "fun" as a buzzword, and there is only value in seeing new games crash and burn rather than celebrate that they're good games. There are exceptions too, but this is the baseline.

I visit /a/, /v/ and most of its related boards, /tg/, /jp/ and /vt/. I have never been to /b/ and from what I've heard it's all porn now so it's for the best. Was watching vtubers since the beginning, had never really watched streamers before then, it's okay when Japan does it.

That doesn't really make it feel any better though seeing 4chan slowly corrupted by the normienet. The latest wave of newfags don't even share the same values, they're just here for politics. I get so depressed fully knowing this is the last remnant of good internet culture left. When 4chan dies the rest of the oldfag internet will die with it and be forgotten entirely.

If it wasn't for the constant influx of cute anime girls I don't know how I would have coped.

2005 or so. I'd seen someone make a passing reference to what I'd later come to know as Nevada-tan and I wanted to learn more.
Some people on the forum I was reading talked about how 'imageboard culture' had adopted her as a mascot, causing me to find out about 2ch and 4chan alike.

I was trying to find the source of that dumb "revive Aeris with 99 tissues" shit. Someone pointed me to /v/. Like autumn 04 or roundabout.
I posted a thread and bookmarked it. Came back like a week later because I totally forgot about it, only to find the thread gone.
I never came back to that "shitty forum" until 2005 when YTMND and /gif/ were having a war.
It was only then I realized how stupid I was.

I think it's because every other linear forum got replaced by reddit and twitter, which are both insufferable.

my first internet home was the ABS forum. Don't remember when I made the jump but I probably ruined 4chan when I did.

Started posting in 2017 after lurking for 4 years or so. I still remember the thread I first posted in was a Bang Dream thread on /a/. Even then I don't post much on this site, I simply enjoy reading the threads here and seeing most people quarrel with each other. This site is truly magical.

Used to browse /a/ /mu/ /v/ /fa/ /fit/ and /jp/ regularly since 2010 until GG and Trump caused /pol/ to leak into every board in 2015

Still drop into /jp/ a couple times a month tho

I discovered it back in 2006 around when I got into watching subbed anime and a fellow weeb online friend sent me a link to an /a/ thread over AIM when we were discussing seasonals. I really loved the atmosphere and spent a year lurking just to read anime discussions before branching out to other boards.

>>10700170
You can't exactly vent without consequences, the consequence is that you're making the place worse by posting badly without lurking. The jannies won't ban you for being a retard but you should still put consideration into your posts to cultivate a community you'd wanna be a part of.

I created memes and copypastas people used for years, but after a few years no one even remembers them. All those daily posts I did, all those endless hours arguing in defense of various anime girls, all those tripfags I spammed the threads of. None of it seems to matter anymore. I had a good time but was it all worth it? What do I have to show for it all in the end?

There's so many boards I've followed for 6 months or so and just gotten tired of, sometimes I go back to /co/ or /a/ or /tv/ to see how it is for a few days/weeks but it's just a long process of migration.

I came here around April this year but I did my reps and I lurked enough, I think. Since I'm a neet, I can spend all day on this hellhole but it feels so refreshing and different from other sites.
Maybe the old days were better but there's still something here that can't be found anywhere else on the internet, if you learn to ignore the shit.
