So why’s this board so dead now? The multiple popping K-pop generals going on 24/7, what is that, bots? Are the jannies just bribed? I don’t understand it. This is the hardest fall, by far, any of the hobby boards have taken

I'm convinced those threads are 60% bots and 40% retards that don't realize or care that they're posting amongst bots
>jannies just bribed?
Worse, they are active participants in the Kpop threads, while they barely moderate the rest of this board, post one thing "offtopic" in the kpop thread and you're banned within 10 minutes of it being posted

If they aren't bots, then they post like bots, which is almost worse. They don't even talk about music which is the most baffling thing to me, it's almost exclusively celebrity culture. They wouldn't even be that much of an issue if they didn't spam new generals consistently every time the old one hit bump limit like some soulless machine

Honestly, I can't say it's bots because it would take a lot of technical wherewithal to get botted activity on /mu/, of all places. What would be the gain for bots shilling artists on effectively a dead board?

I think we simply have to accept the fact that 4chan doesn't attract fresh blood anymore. It's just the same terminally online losers trying to outbait each other ad nausea.

Kpop needs to go. It at least needs to be confined to one general that doesn’t make a duplicate until it reaches page 10. And the waifu fags needs to go. No more dedicated idol threads like Olivia / Maggie Roger’s/ emily Armstrong. It’s all just as terrible as the kpop trash.

doesn’t seem like many people are particularly interested in music any more, not in the active, exploratory way a lot of people on this board used to be
I think its at least partly because people use streaming services now and are content to let The Algorithm suggest new music to them rather than looking for it themselves, and they consume it in a more casual and passive way
people always complain about kpoop and while those threads are zero-value coomer bugspam at least its contained. yeah they push threads off the board but by the time a thread hits the bottom of the catalogue its been ~8 hours without a reply anyway, ie already dead. if a thread cant get a replay for that long theres obviously no demand for it

>KPOP generals are just automated bot spam bro, trust me even though I've never entered the threads a single time I know intuitively that it's all a bunch of scripts

Look man I'm not going to disagree with the wider notion that these threads indirectly killed /mu/ but acting like they're only populated by one or two real people is disingenuous. Right now there's some Nvidia music festival in Seoul which probably sounds really fucking important if you like KPOP whatsoever. No fucking shit the threads will be active.

>Oh but they're spamming images during dead hours and this offends me for some reason

Every board has waifufags who do this and there's nothing you can do about it. /a/ has it. /v/ has it. /pw/ has it. It is not against the rules to use an imageboard to just post images.

>Okay so how do we revive /mu/
