Would you guys believe me if i told you that a small amount of the 4chan population was creating most of the (troll) threads and continuously bumping them to the top, killing genuine discourse and 4chan itself by demoralization?

zoomers are just inherently demoralizing
the 30+ general is an uplifting place

Often times it's old fags who figured out that bait will get the most bumps. Many anons with political motivations, groups.

It's related to why this board is shit and dying. The catalogue is being manipulated so you see certain content but not others.

I assumed it was mostly discord trannies trying to ruin everything for men out of petty spite. Followed by spiteful browns, IDF/USAF demoralizers, and finally a few legitimate blackpilled incels.

There are 4chan mods/jannies who famously propagate racist propaganda and ban dissenters. There are obviously a lot of white spremacists groups spreading rhetoric.

There are also a lot of paki shills on here creating anti-Indian threads. It is widely known pakistan spends some of it's militairy budget on anti-Indian propaganda

Meanwhile the most replied to post on that thread is the one calling you oldtroons, which proves that you're just running away from reality

There is credible evidence, leaks, and investigations showing that groups — both governmental and private — have conducted influence operations, astroturfing, and catalog manipulation (e.g., shilling, bumping, spamming) on 4chan. Here is a summary of known proof:


---

1. Leaked Military & Intelligence Documents

JTRIG (UK’s GCHQ – Government Communications Headquarters)

From the 2014 Snowden leaks:

> "JTRIG engaged in 'Online Covert Action' by posting false information on forums and social media, including imageboards like 4chan, to influence discourse and public opinion."
Source: The Intercept – "The Art of Deception"

They explicitly used:

“Online Honey Traps”

Forum sliding

Hashtag hijacking

False flag posts


These tactics are nearly identical to 4chan thread bumping/sliding and derailing.

2. 2016–2020 U.S. Election Interference (Documented Cases)

Russian IRA (Internet Research Agency)

U.S. Senate Intel Committee confirmed that Russia’s IRA targeted /pol/ and /b/ as part of a campaign to radicalize and influence U.S. voters.

Used memes, troll threads, and sock puppets to control discourse and boost divisive threads.

What do you mean? Isn't this completely obvious? I don't get it.

Unironically a ton of the shilling on /biz/ went silent temporarily when Mossad facilities were bombed a month or two back.

yes, that was true even back in the day when the site was slower and many of the trolls came from irc . Sadly this behavior hit terminal velocity and actual, real discussion is uncommon now.

Klem, go back to your containment thread.
