>Go to the civilized niche threads and ignore the shitposters
Dude, I've tried. All that's taught me is that there are people on /v/ who are so desperate for attention that they too seek out the niche threads and actively work to derail them with bait posts. I guess they've realized there's a smaller, but more dedicated audience for those threads and therefore it's easier to get people to engage with their posts.
Just look at this place for an example of what I'm talking about. Tourists come to /agdg/ all the time to post twitter ragebait slop that belongs on /v/. Why? Because it's easier to get an audience here, this general moves at about 1/100th the speed on /v/.
