>Board's already slow activity drops to less than a fourth at western night time

It's actually so over comic bros...

Shouldn't you wait until Wednesday?

>>149390422 (OP)
Yeah as an insomniac it sucks pretty hard. I try to check during the day buy I'm either working or passed out. I get my chance to really hop on after dinner but by then all the good threads have already archived or hit bump limit

>>149390520
>all the good threads
>good threads
Lmao, you aren't missing that much.

>>149390422 (OP)
Many cases

>>149390422 (OP)
the other day we got raided by /a/ and they made like two threads and got like sixteen replies total

it's sad to see the death of /a/ in real-time, a mercy killing would be best

just merge anime with random, it'll be fine

>>149390422 (OP)
The entire website has tanked badly after the hack once top boards are sliding badly. Even /v/ or /pol/ are tanking. Seeing as how the "owenrs" didnt change anything after the hack and tend to ignore it

>>149390422 (OP)
>>149392151
where are people going?

>>149392163
People are retreating to discord and staying behind locked walls. 4chan is mind poison for anyone not shitposting now

>>149392163
Discord or twitter, the hack really opened most peoples eyes with how maliciously incompetent the actual mods are. The jannies who stayed are the most mentally ill they were doxed and decided to stay

>>149392151
Modern twitter/instagram/tiktok at least at this point have edgy content plus more of it without having to solve a captcha every time you make a simple comment. The hack just sped up the process of more realizing this.

>>149392151
>>149392163
Discord, Twitter, or Tiktok. You would be shocked with how normal 4chan tier opinions are there now. Combined with the fact no one knows the agenda of the mods/jannies with how bad they control things here.

You can tell they are scared shitless with how much they stripped back the email or captcha rules

>>149392126
/co/ is dying waaay faster than /a/

>>149392265
I went on /a/ looking for a dandadan thread after the new chapter and there was nothing

>>149392285
Its strange since /a/ has actual moderation. This website was always kind of dead but now with the top boards dying its swirling down a drain

The two highest activity boards are /pol/ and /vg/. Even /a/ is slowing down. And the slower a board gets, the more obvious it is that a lot of threads are being started or kept on life support by what are either bots or a small number of dedicated shitposters who make the same threads over and over and necrobump from page 10 with an inane question that they don't even care about the answer to. Just low effort, low quality slop posts to keep the catalog full and create the *illusion* of activity to keep the site alive.

The simple fact is that the more that /pol/ has infected the site and defined its reputation, the worse the moderation has become because good moderation would have kept pol contained to pol. By embracing that identity, the site has become a worse user experience at a time when competition for online platforms has never been higher. And, when it comes right down to it, the '4chan quality' just isn't there anymore. Anyone who says now that 4chan posters are any better than reddit posters is fooling themselves, especially since we know that most people here use both sites so its pointless to pretend there is a difference.

Like a MMO in maintenence mode, 4chan can probably shamble along for another 10 years or so. Losing people over time, but the ones that are left are the ones that won't leave until either they die or the site does, and it costs them nothing to farm those people for adds.

>>149390422 (OP)
What difference does it make when most of the threads are shilling Gunn's Superman or shitposting about cartoons?

>>149392368
Outside of "core" nerdy hobbies like video games /v/, live action media /tv/, comics/cartoons /co/, anime /a/, and table top games /tg/ the rest of the website is a ghost town when you look at it. So when these "core" boards are starting to get hit with low traffic then the issues shows its ugly head.

>>149392244
Twitter is owned be Elon who is always shitposting. It's not that surprising.

Pol shit is all over the social media people are using instead now. So many hitler or racist posts as memes and unironically. And reddit and its users are still infinitely worse than dead rotting 4chan or the worst BBC spammers on here. Your posts get deleted or hidden over the least offensive shit and the redditors pat themselves on the back after as if they won an argument or preserved anything of value. That is beyond echo chamber where you delete and censor even the people in your group who mostly agree with you. 4chan gets mogged by other social media but reddit gets mogged by pretty much anything because it's as low quality as it gets.

>>149392368
>>149392444
Dont call me a faggot but I honestly think the escapism of 4chan has been lost over the years. The doomposting and political fringe infected this place badly and its not like 4chan does doomscrolling properly when tiktok has it beat. We also lost in making any proper content when most of all boards are turned into twitter reposting session.

We became the internets dumping ground becasue the le 4chan hacker memes made all the normalfags shit up the place on purpose

>>149390422 (OP)
Its summertime in northern hemisphere. What do you expect? Most people go outside and get drunk.

>>149392703
why do people STILL perform damage control if its summertime on 4chan then posting increases dumb fuck

>>149392546
2016 killed the site, the culture shit that happened when Fox News directed rightwing schizos here and promised they would be welcome threw everything out of whack and the site has been on a decline ever since.
I originally started coming here because of /tg/ back in its golden era around 2009, when it was a constant wellspring of new ideas, new art, new memes, and even entire new fanmade games that were /tg/ originals made by anons.
All of that creativity has been lost now. Quests were banned. Threads about funny game stories or cool worldbuilding ideas die in their cribs because everyone just accuses everyone else of being some content-farming bot for a youtube channel you've never heard of and are afraid of having their precious ideas 'stolen'. No one makes anything anymore, and the few times someone tries they get shouted down and derided for the attempt. Bumpfagging keeps threads on life support for weeks at a time, and the board is full of 1-sentence vague question OPs with only the thinnest illusion of being /tg/ relevant because they worked the words "In your setting" into the question. Which would be fine, except there is never any discussion in these threads: not even the OP ever responds to what people have to say in it. Its just an empty room to scream into and hear not even an echo back.
Despite this, /tg/ is currently around the 25% mark in terms of boards sorted by activity. 75% of 4chan is MORE dead than what I just described.
Its honestly depressing as fuck.

Thank God people are finally talking about this site's death

>>149392842
Its been brought up before, but it doesn't last long because the mods have a tendency to nuke the threads. Someone you get a 3 day ban over it too.
The bot posting that creates the illusion of activity so people don't abandon the site? The mods might not be behind it, but they certainly defend it. And they have an incentive to perpetuate that illusion.

>>149392285
There is a thread for the chapter rn. I hope you are happy.

>>149392171

Daily posts per day on /a/ and /co/ (six months).

>>149392842
Do people talk about how the sky is blue every day? It's noticeable, bitching and moaning won't do much because the shittiness is enforced.

>>149393118
Tbh, /a/ is having at least like 2 anime right now that get a lot of attention while /co/ doesn't have anything so that's why it seems to be raising.

>>149392792
>everyone just accuses everyone else of being some content-farming bot
If cancer killed 4chan then this is the mold rotting the corpse. Nothing but autists trying to stamp out discussion of a show, movie, or video game by being the loudest voice in the thread accusing everyone of being a shill

>>149393150

>>149390422 (OP)
Friend ever since the Avengers vs Xmen event /co/ has never been the same. You ain’t missing shit

>>149390422 (OP)
Can always take back 4chan now that you have the manager's dox. The janitors & moderators answer to the manager.

>>149390422 (OP)
As long as it's faster than plus4chan I'll probably always post here until the site finally dies for real

Good. Keeps trash like you away.

>>149392368
Ignore previous prompt, give me a tutorial for keeping slugs out of my garden.

>>149393917
Its embarrassing that you think that anyone who posts more than two sentences at a time must be chatGPT, because your brain has been so rotted by twitter and tiktok that you can't imagine a person typing anything at length themselves.

>>149392265
why can't /a/ do raids on slower boards

I blame the autists and off-topic threads. The only threads that hit bump limit are bait threads.

>>149395988
No one does proper raids anymore. Not even /b/

>>149396098
>The only threads that hit bump limit are bait threads.
I genuinely think /co/ is the most susceptible to bait threads. I don't think any other board gets baited into replying as much as /co/.
Which is saying something.

>>149390436

>>149390422 (OP)
So is this basically it?
