>If "on topic" is what prevents a thread form being mass flagged and deleted then the dump threads and generals making up /a/ is the natural result.
Except for the part where both of those thread types got banned a decade ago.
The reality is that the /a/ userbase is not actually people interested in anime. It's mostly people interested in one anime and then people coming here because they're banned from their preferred board.

>Discussion gradually converged into generals because there are more seasonals, more manga being scanlated or simulpubbed and more backlog titles easily available than ever before, but they're competing for the same number of thread slots.
That is not what happens with generals.
If you have a thread for a manga or anime that operates all days it is not airing, it is objectively a breeding ground for the most abhorrent behaviours one can experience on the site. Once people are left with a bunch of other people, with nothing to actually discuss, things ALWAYS go to shit.
>At least they make anons read manga outside the obvious hype titles.
That is half of the dailies being made, and nobody fucking reads them.
>Most of these are by the same spammer, for what it's worth.
I find that incredibly doubtful and it seems like a cope, just a way to go "Yeah, /a/ isn't bad because nobody here is actually a good poster, it's bad because that other guy is ruining it".
