I told a joke with 4chan in it a few days ago to my irl friend group, and one of my friends, mind you the oldest, didn't get the joke and asked, "whats 4chan?". I then asked if he knew what Reddit is, and he said yes, but he didn't use it.

Why has 4chan fallen out of relevancy, especially among the internet?

Because newfags gatekeeped things they didn't understand so original/oldfags abandoned the site or actively facilitated the quality implosion to the permanent summer we see now

Eternal summer is the inevitable conclusion. It's what the greenday song about september ending. Essentially september was the time people got access to the internet for the very first time pre 2000when they went to uni which caused a disruption in the internet.

The sociopaths are trying to eliminate 4chan from the world which includes pretending like it never existed, deleting all of the references to it online, and genociding anyone who logged onto 4chan.

The sociopaths get ostracized by the other sociopaths unless they pretend they are disgusted or pretend they don't know.

it became reddit around 2012 and completely died in 2016.
2020 and this April's hack killed what was left.

because it fucking sucks, op
when is the last time you had fun here, honestly? Its all just a bunch of cock grabbing losers, half the posters are either jerking off or rage baiting or throwing a tantrum at any given moment.
There was a time this place did fun things, had fun conversations, and its long past gone, and the novelty of having a place where you can upload images for free has become the norm

I won't try to speak for all of them but to various extents, yes. Some boards took longer to decline than others, the more niche interests, but most of the ones I went to slowly devolved into retards fighting, fapping, circlejerking or desperately trying to troll, with the bonus of long term schizo posters that the moderation apparently have no tools to deal with

The spam is the money grubbing. It is probably the only thing keeping the site afloat.

This website is used for porn and for chinks and ziggers to spread misinformation to already damaged people likely to believe that misinformation. zigger and chink opinions are extremely obvious and transparent so it isn't fun to post here, there's no reward for creativity

Ziggers and Chinks do not want Americans to innovate, reproduce, or self-actualize. Look at how many posts at any given moment here are designed to make you feel worse about yourself, or worse about America, or worse about your reproductive future. If you're jacking off all the time you're also less likely to pursue a relationship. This place literally exists to harm English speakers. If you were posting this way in Chinklandia or Ziggerworld you'd be investigated, imprisoned, and possibly re-educated by the state

I blame the anti-intellectuals for driving off such people. Also the diversifying of boards spread everyone out. I am still in discorda where people post projects they're working on, new things they learned, clever shitposts, they don't get harrassed or berated like they would here.
Here there seems to be a meme that if someone is showing something they are attention whores, but really they're like a kid showing a frog they caught. Not for attention but to share this cool thing.

thisis a millennial era website that got took over by gen x and boomers in 2016, right around the time that former millennial shitposters started to stop shitposting in order to look after their kids/spend more time with their partners/actually have a life. zoomers took over, but did a shit job of it because the site admin changed to some jap who doesnt give a fuck anymore, a dude in a wheelchair stole this places cool factor which then got stolen by discord, and the internet slammed the last nail in the coffin of meaningful content creation. i slowly stopped coming here as one by one the old 2000s era boards died off or got taken over by people who never knew or cared what this place was about, and now the memory is almost entirely confined to minor boards, a few rare oldfags who never got a life, and the tranny board.

4chan is irrelevant because this place was made on anime, unrestrained autism, and OC, and the modern web is friendly to none of that.

If you go you'll be on a list.

This will be deleted. If it is even seen.

It is censored. Keep an open mind
