Why is /fit/ so slow these days?
How do we get the youngins to care about fitness?

The only purposes of modern 4chan is to worship Donald Trump, complain about pronouns in video games, and complain about "the blackpill"- the idea (in part) that proper diet and exercise don't matter because your genetics already determined you're worthless no matter how much you improve yourself. People also don't care about the health benefits because expectations for the future are so negative that people don't want to live so long anymore.

Its the 120 second wait on capatcha

Not enough pillars in the community. I notice more people talking about older fitness idols rather than the "celebs" now when it comes to actual fitness or good vibes. Most modern fitness internet celebrities are in it for monetary gain and are soulless. I often notice a good personality that then gets washed away the longer I watch them. Attention is a commodity and they'll do anything to keep it. Its hard to keep the niche authenticity when something becomes mainstream which it is now more than ever. Someone has to come out and genuinely care about health and fitness with charisma and a willingness to stay authentic. It is just to easy to start drama and become something like Greg Doucette or any of the people he covers. The closest I have seen to feeling good about watching was Jujimufu when he visits that old strongman but I feel like juji is too old and not that charismatic. He had good moments but he doesn't have star power. Then you also have the fact that 4chan is now being watched by culture vultures on reddit and the rest of the internet. No one can post as openly anymore the weird shit they do to chase gains or get an extra shot of protein without it being screengrabbed and posted all over the internet in several ways. This platform has become a stage. You have to be the OP/anon that is willing to put themselves through that shit to change things. I have bad genetics and can't stay consistent enough to do so. >>76779074
Stfu faggot. You hit every buzzword and exposed yourself. Opinion discarded.

The less active fit is the more lifters are at the gym fit is were dreams come to die the discord tranies killed it with all the manlet and troon spam

>>76779048 (OP)
Fitness dick in ur mouth lol

>>76779048 (OP)
it’s not about getting youngins to care about fitness, it’s about getting them to care about 4chan. They get all their lifting advice from tik tok.

this place sucks. worthless posts, endless engagement b8, and unfunny characters that try too hard to be somebody.

>>76779074
Fpbp.

>>76779048 (OP)
They're on tiktok. It might be better fit is slow..you rather it be like /v/ or /pol/?

>>76779048 (OP)
Because half the threads here aren't related to health or fitness. Most threads are either /pol/bait, /r9k/ anti-fitness blackpill doomerism, or fetish bait. Meanwhile, the only fitness discussion here is relegated to a small handful of generals.

>>76779048 (OP)
This place has no new blood it's a stagnating cesspool, the same 20 yos that posted here a decade ago are now 35 still virgins still whining about everything and blaming everyone but themselves.

>>76779048 (OP)
reddit. /thread

>How do we get the youngins to care about fitness?
Wrong question
What you should be asking is how to make people care about /fit/
There is just about nothing /fit/ offers that can't be found on other websites.

huh, the 4stats.io guy stopped showing charts, it truly is over

>>76779048 (OP)
>How do we get the youngins to care about fitness?
We need to normalize lifting women as a feat of strength par exellence.

>>76779048 (OP)
because this board sucks ass and honestly most boards on this website are shit

uncs be like "this sites dead bro, its over. its shit now" but stay here for another 5-10 years kek

fit has always been slow but i think reddit/social media/tiktok has taken place of most discussion unfortunately

Because height frame face mogs gymcelling incels

>>76779048 (OP)
4chan in general has been slowly intentionally destroyed from the inside-out. Every board is a husk of what once was.

>>76779076
Literally this, i fucking hate it and usually refuse to post. Who the fuck has time for this shit?

>>76779048 (OP)
>post summer
>pre new year resolution
Fall is actually the worst season for /fit/. Although I have had a year hiatus on posting here. Do we still have "breh" threads?

>>76782221
I thought that the summer was noticably slower which confirmed my suspicion that there is a large population of bored shitposting kids here

70% of American's are overweight. 50% + of the west is overweight.

Most fitness influencers and many paid athletes are abusing steroids.

Until those two extremes are reined in nothing changes.

Gen Z is a lost cause, they don't think anything matters but internet fame. They don't care about their futures as they're so retarded they think everything will be destroyed by the time they're 30. Why care about finances, politics, or fitness if the world will be unlivable in a decade?

They had the lowest voter turnout of anyone ages 18-25 in American history the last presidential election. 46,000,000 eligible voters and 13% showed up. It's over for Gen Z, they will be a generation of forgotten losers aged prematurely by the stress of social media that their brains were never able to handle. Honestly it's best to focus our attention on Gen Alpha as they still have a chance.

Hate to say it but Gen Z females are salvageable, they're investing and getting educated. The first generation where gym attendance is higher among women than men ever recorded in any country.

Jannies are nuking the nicocado threads. They are dragging down the discussion.

>>76779048 (OP)
fitness is at an all time high in popularity, it's just that 4chan never recovered from the hacking incident

>>76779048 (OP)
Try tiktok

>>76779048 (OP)
everyone moved over to other social media
or simply left the house once covid was over

i remember in spring of 2021 I would refresh /fit/ every 10 minutes and the whole page would be brand new posts
i learned so much about nutrition from all the studies posted
it was a good time

then jannies started deleting anything useful about social skills or making friends but would let blackpill pepe bullshit spam up the page
then the place just turned into r9k with pepe spam and "poor me boo hoo" demoralization shit by the end of 2022

>>76782778
>i remember in spring of 2021 I would refresh /fit/ every 10 minutes and the whole page would be brand new posts
man this, it was insane how active and lively it was
miss that /fit/ so much...
but I don't think it's jannies, I remember the wait time to post making a huuge actually perceptible dent to post frequency, but idk if it's still here
>>76779076
>>76782052
can you guys elaborate on this, I don't see any waiting times anymore, is it only if you connect from a new device/network/mobile data?

>How do we get the youngins to care about fitness?
This is actually an interesting topic that I discussed with my friend. Objectively more people than ever are working out, tiktok and social media have made going to the gym trendier than ever. At the same time steriod-use is through the roof with younger generations. But despite living in a country with one of the highest rates of steriod use in the world I very rarely see anybody with a better physique than me and i'm natty. Where do these zoomers that make their gym their entire personality go after working out for a few months and then seemingly vanishing?

>>76779074
>TDS!
It's out of control!
>TDS!
It's infected my soul!
>TDS!
I got another load!
>TDS!
WATCH ME EXPLOOOOOODE!

>>76779360
If you got rid of the weebs/gacha /v/ would be good

>>76782861
zoomers lift weights, do calisthenics and take steroids to look good shirtless and on social media thirst traps, they dont care about looking muscular and big in a t-shirt since they wear oversized shirts anyways

>>76782810
If you try to post from a new IP or try phoneposting or if 4chan doesn't like your browser you get hit with a 120sec cooldown before you can post. Until the hack the first cooldown was always 15 minutes and it would reset or just not work all the fucking time. If that didn't get changed the site would be 100% dead by now

>>76782448
>hate to say it but Gen Z females are salvageable, they're investing and getting educated
they hate men though
they been taught not to respect men at all
theyre educated sure, but extremely disrespectful and entitled because theyve never had a man slap the shit out of them

IT AINT.

>>76782810
>is it only if you connect from a new device/network/mobile data?
yes. And that especially makes /fit/ hard hit. Lots of people were browsing from the gym but cannot anymore.

>>76779048 (OP)
Public facing internet is dying. Everyone is retreating to private spaces to avoid inadvertently drawing the attention of various venomous mobs/subcultures.
