How is it that the site once famous for its irreverence and ruthless use of irony and meta-irony, and for being the coalface of memes and interweb culture, has now become a dull, banal, shadow of its former self?

It became mainstream it became Reddit

they saw this place as a threat back in 2015 and still attack it to this day. you can see the bots posting their same threads like retarded mechanical vultures picking at the bones of the site, set loose and forgot about.

And Descartes was a certified idiot so he knew what he was talking about

/b/ has always been shit, friendo.

>>937037143
They ain't bots they are legitimately users

Have you been to 9gag recently?
Slays kino compared to here.
Cope.
Seethe.
LOL.

>>937037252
this is what happens if you stay too long anyway, end up sounding like a learning disabled hivemind

>>937037245
some of the trannies that still pretend like they're raiding are real users but there's a lot of bot activity here. you have to be blind not to see it

>>937037348
No u.
Seriously though, what?
I was just blabbering buzzwords
There was a distinct change…Uhg. Sometime. Several times.
The agitprops are absolutely out of control though.

>Growing popularity
>Boomer / endless political talking points
>A tool for literal feds to try and steer opinion
>The culture of phone zombies who have no real sense of humor or wonder anymore due to constant dopamine flooding from phone entertainment

The type of people you are talking about still exist but you rarely see it here.

Short answer: probably bots. Like literally every other place on the internet.
Long answer: Loss of true anonymity. Sometime between 2015 and 2020 the site got rid of internal anonymity, even though externally it looks anonymous.

Because we used to caricature the most retarded people of our society, and then around 2014-2015 they all showed up and didn't realize it was a joke and thought this was their safe zone and now all the retards live here.

You assume way too much

>t. one of those bots?
I mean really its not like the guy is making a bold statement, of course we're flooded with bots

>>937036908 (OP)
all the good stuff is not allowed anymore and gets deleted by overzealous jannies, thus lots of ppl left. 4chan is not even a shadow of its former self... it' mostly normies and jew sponsored spam nowadays

>>937036908 (OP)
Only the logfag can restore order here. Once the pedo-leftist activism cult is driven off and the glowies are retired. /b/ will return. Until the loggining, the normies rule here.

>>937039387
If that is so, why they not doing it

>>937040026
The loggining? Patience. Start posting log threads. Start posting raw human feces. You'll see. Many keks to be had.

>>937037245
It is mostly bots. Organic /b/ traffic is down to 20% of posts.
