>Why's this website and it's userbase so fucked in the head?
I've said it before
I'll say it again
When Reagan closed down the Asylums, all of the crazies didn't just go away or get better. They still had to go somewhere, and since anywhere IRL for them would result in their schizophrenic opinions catching a fist to the mouth- They instead went to the internet.
/v/ is an asylum for people who would have been put into a real asylum with real doctors to seek help forty years ago.
This has been compounded by the fact that /v/, after the hack, has WAY less users than it did before, so only the most terminally online, completely obsessed, absolutely schizophrenic who are only here because they have no other asylum remained.
And THAT is compounded even further by the bot problem. Some massive number, during the last downtime, didn't start posting again until a very specific point in the day when all of it came back at once. Those are bots. Those bots are trained off of posts made by the schizophrenics here, but have other things added to their prompts like "Pretend to be a /pol/ poster" or "Pretend to be an avid fan of ubisoft".
Add all this together and you realize that /v/ isn't really about talking about video games or having pleasant conversation. It's about farming engagement.
