thats because /v/, like most social media sites do, has become too popular and arteficial.
Theres no upvotes, no likes, no ID, this is the kind of thing that once made 4chan good, why would you come to /v/? for honesty, with no updoots or ID you could post whatever you thought, no backlash or negative wrongthink points
it was a place where people said what they actually thought, for better or worse, instead of curating the right opinions like with the shithole of plebbit
these days its just as bad here, everyone is so... artifiical. Pretending to be mad, happy, sad, excited over anything. everyone is pretending to be interesting, being facecious, being retarded on purpose. its like kids seeing "trolling" but not even understanding how to do it, so they just act like retards thinking theyre 'winning' when people call them retards.
that makes 4chan worse, without upvotes or score... youre doing it for FREE.
fact is 4chan is too mainstream now, infested with 2016 tourists AND reddit tourists AND 2020 tourists AND 2022 tourists.
These kids grew up on social media, the oldfags of 4chan grew up with either nothing or some wild west chatroom back in the day, never had to pretend to be cool to anyone. The new users here are all brainrotten from algorithm chasing and user score min maxing.
so they pretend to be outraged, to be retarded, to be angry. all to get invisible points that dont exist.
its all artificial, even the trophy. The art of trollingis long since lost, and all we're left with is tripe.
