Thread 720252268

When did 4chan stop using reaction images?

>>720252268 (OP)
it became filled with slop not worth reacting to

>>720252268 (OP)
When too many pledditors and twittertards started to flood this website.

it does, 4chan just uses them in a different way now. that is it uses them in second-person(preemptively accusing someone else of reacting in the manner of the image they posted)

because normies sites like xitter and tiktok caught on and started doing it

>>720252268 (OP)
>4chan
>not using reaction images

i miss it

>>720252268 (OP)
when pepes took over mostly.

I still use them, I think there's a higher percent chance of my posts being read with an image with it.

>>720253814
>I think there's a higher percent chance of my posts being read with an image with it.
There is an equally higher chance that the content itself gets ignored because the picture is more interesting by comparison.

>>720253814
It absolutely does. I pretty much skim anything without an image. If you're too new/lazy to post an appropriate image, then your opinion isn't worth reading unless a bunch of people reply, but even then it's probably just wrong.

people still do, but most posters today are posting from their phone and it's harder to scroll their your reaction image folder on a phone, so they either don't bother or post the same 2-4 images every times

>>720252268 (OP)
A lot of mine from my heyday of saving them are "whoa! cool! fun!" types of reactions, and they're basically useless on modern /v/

>>720252268 (OP)
Don't start threads with reaction images or retarded bait, you're only giving content for indians to monetize on twitter.

>>720256609

Disturbingly true.

This so very much. Also, /adv/ is just blue /r9k/ and /k/ is dangerously close to being blue /pol/.

>>720252268 (OP)
you know why

>>720252268 (OP)
Only tourists refer to the site by name. Oldfags refer to the board they’re posting on.

>>720262630
The image macro era sucked. Unfunny impact font messages over the same picture over and over. It's also when I started to see """memes""" printed and referenced in real life. The beginning of the end

all my reaction images are just stolen from other channers

>>720262839
That makes a lot of sense, I hate it.

>had a 15 year old reaction folder
>the hard drive fucking dies
Genuinely felt surreal. Especially when I could have backed it up at any time The only images I managed to save are by looking through 4chan archives of threads I was certain I was in

>>720252268 (OP)
I've honestly noticed this, too. I have an entire folder that basically goes unused at this point. Makes me sad thinking about it.

>>720256609
Pretty much. /v/ is just painful to even be on at long lengths anymore. All you ever see get posted are wojaks anymore anyway, which is ironic because I distinctly remember for a time that posting them could result in a ban.

eternal newfag.
you may have a decade+ on you now, but we do not grant you the rank of oldfag

Because posting a Twitter screencap of a 4chan screencap is much more beneficial than using a standard reaction image, because it promotes discussion. Or at least that's what the tourist tranny said to me.

you can't make them on phones (not easily anyway)

because mods are newfaggots and ban you if you use an image that's older than they are

>>720265946
Sure, lemme take a look.

retards can't tell the difference between a reaction image and avatar fagging or they post some wojak faggotry like they're rage faces and pretend that its a perfect catch-all instead of abject faggotry

>>720265715
3 day ban for racism is the gayest shit ever and I get it one constantly

There was a time where it felt like Wojaks and its variants would never die but now I never see them any more

>>720263351
I had a website with all my screenshot reaction images...still have the domain name but don't feel like making the site again......at least feel like I would have to do that ai image recognition tagging shit if I did but I REALLY don't wanna put in that amount of effort.

This thread should be your reminder to periodically backup your reaction images to an external hard drive or USB flash drive
Use syncthing if you're feeling slightly fancy

>>720266578
Good. Nature is healing.

>>720266808

I have hundreds of thousands of files only on my phone and I'm too scared to try backing them up
I don't have a computer except for a steam deck and I feel like something would melt or corrupt or everything would get fucked up if I actually tried to do it
It's been causing me anxiety for years
I have literally no space left on my phone and I don't know what to do anymore

because reading someone and talking TO someone and not AT them is hard for people on the spectrum but you can learn.

Eg. the theory of mind test:

a child is told in a room NOT to eat the candy by adult. The adult leaves and another adult comes and asks is she ate it and the knowledge is between them. Original adult comes back and the child and adult #2 are allied. The concept of backstabbing is where the truth can be told to adult #1. Betrayal.

autists like 4chin because it's harder to do this online

>>720266983
>and I'm too scared to try backing them up
The fuck?

>>720267064
it's literally HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of files all within TENS OF THOUSANDS of folders
it would ruin the hard drive I bought to back up everything or corrupt everything or be unbrowsable because I don't have a 500 dollar cpu

>>720266578
it's because they were most likely to get you banned. i still have one of the original soijak mega downloads from before soishit party was created. I go through them, wishing i could repost them here

>>720267164
Syncthing (not sure if there's a phone app/client) will calculate file hashes to ensure no corruption during transfer

OC and originality in general died out with phoneposting and the massive invasion of normalfags in the 2010's who don't care about it and just treat this place like an edgier version of reddit.

/v/ refuses to talk about any cool indie games or games that aren't extremely recent, it's just bait and drama about modern major releases or reposts from social media shitholes (that you should be banned for even admitting you use at all IMO)

This place really doesn't feel like a bunch of nerds trying to have fun and discuss whatever obscure game they discovered this week. It feels like a hellhole full of normalfags trying desperately to piss each other off now.

tawk to /g/ or something, buddy

the internet stopped being a fun and silly place to fuck around and became serious business because it's full of morons using their real name and face treating it as an extension of real life instead of a separate realm where you don't have to put on an act and can just be goofy and free

too many assholes here who dedicate every waking moment to trying to upset others and make the place worse, some in organized raiding groups because misery loves company

the site owner not caring about the place at all because he doesn't post here, which in turn led to the moderation team slowly being replaced by malignant jackasses that either have no idea what they are doing or are actively trying to morph the board they patrol into their own little gay clique

nobody actually playing fucking videogames besides mega popular flavor of the week shit that's heavily marketed on the nightmarish mind control device crafted by Satan himself that is social media

people who used to never spend a minute of their lives caring about politics or real life bullshit now having it in their head constantly and then regurgitating it everywhere they go like a zombie trying to spread it's disease because of the aforementioned social media they consume daily

pick your poison really, the internet and 4chan with it is a shadow of its former self and I really really wish that wasn't the case

This site has really taken a turn for the worse over the last few years. It's been shit for a long time but it's basically just a shuffling corpse at this point. I'm genuinely surprised the hack didn't take us out for good.

>>720268236
It really is genuinely numbing when you take a moment to think about how different this place is now. I used to love coming here every single day and would always find myself laughing my ass off, discovering some game I'd never heard of or making edits of whatever meme was on the board at that time. Everything is so different and so much worse now. I'm only here still because everywhere else is even worse. I tried making a Twitter account for the first time in my life a week into the hack downtime and I couldn't believe how assholish and cunty people are on there, the average Twitter user is a fucking sociopath even compared to the most deranged anons here.

the thing that scared me the most is that when this place went offline for almost 2 weeks nothing sprang up in it's place, moe got a few thousand more posters TOTAL but that was it and that's barely anything at all

I feel like if 4chan dies then that's just it, any semblance of the old internet is just gone

>>720267529
Be the change you want. 3 or 4 anons can carry a thread for a while. If its a fringe indie game you won't have nearly as many shitters.

Even peak players have a thread when the only people that look at them are those that want to play

>>720268236

>>720268604
I don't think they were always this way. They were always dumb, gullible and easily marketed to, sure, but people's behavior has changed dramatically over the past decade and a half. Everyone has become a miserable sociopath obsessed with arguing with and dunking on others constantly. I think social media has massively amplified the narcissism and callousness of people at large. This has been going on long enough that most people have forgotten what it was like before all of this, and we have an entire generation that has been raised among this chaos - who, of course, turned out to be dysfunctional and insane to an unheard of level because of it.

It's always been hilariously ironic to me that the old teachings of "never ever share any personal information online" not only went out the window with social media and smartphones, but it actually became even more harmful to ignore it. People these days freely blast shit everywhere online with their real identity and have their careers and entire lives ruined by it constantly.

>my copy pasted story
population of the world is eating up more resources than it is being replenished, so a healthy population makes little difference ...

What I did should help alot of people

I was an Alcoholic for one, nearly two years. It started as keeping a bottle in my house. I would go through that in a month. I did use it to relax. But it got worse. One became two and so on, untill I was drinking everyday. I would wake up and my brain demanded that I drink. It wasn't too bad as watching Dr.Phil had a guy drink up to thirty cans in one day. My worst was a 6-pack and cans of premix. Step 1: Magnesium got rid of the craving but the boredom was left. My stimulus was drinking. I turned to it. It has the same principle as snaking. I thought maybe I was rewarding myself by drinking and using that system to fulfil it. Would upping my dopamin in my brain alleviate this? is that possible? Yes it is, for me and my individual brain chemistry. yes you can increase dopamine from the foods you eat. it takes time. Maybe 5 months which may not be bad for some, but the payoff is worth your effort. Serotonin too. That is also involved in boredom. Now my stimulus has turned to other things and i haven't thought or even got tempted when i go to the shops. I can watch a movie without eating popcorn. it has changed my life. Now I am the opposite: looking after myself can be addicting! I wonder If any of my bros do this ... I jot down useful nutrition information and it all comes together like a painting.

Good luck, 4channers!

All of you are r*dditors larping as oldfags. 4chan was ALWAYS supposed to be a worthless shitposting dumping ground, not a place to "discuss vidya" or whatever dumb r*ddit shit you think it's for. You'd know this if you weren't a r*dditor.

>even if the image isn't related to the board it was posted it, it goes there. so anime reaction images will still be in my /v/ folder
And this is the part that's screwing up my sort. There's a 50/50 chance the anime image would end up in the /a/ folder, or in the /v/ folder, depending on context. And the context doesn't always get remembered.

It's a blanket clause to ban you if the janny doesn't like your post but you threw in a slur.

4chan gives you a 3 days all board ban for posting a copyrighted imaged or webm.

Realistically its not just 4chan but the internet as a whole.
You get banned for wrongthink fucking anywhere and its all corporate govt watchdog shit now.
Look at how many countries are in full-blown riot/protest/rebellion mode right now but you only hear about it from Twitter because the MSM and big corporate try to cover it all up.

>>720252268 (OP)
I'm pretty sure it's directly related to the increased rate of phoneposting. I'm just too lazy to scroll down the phone gallery to find a specific reaction image that's probably not worth all the effort if it's not absolutely crucial to getting the point across

>>720276453

Died when board culture stopped existing when Hiroshimoot took over.
Even /a/ is basically anime /v/ at this point.

As for /b/, it never really recovered from /soc/ newfags invading it in 2012 to spam the board with nudes when The Fappening was happening. Literal normalfags heard that they could get Emma Watson nudes if they went to this place called 4chan.
Then the 2016 election happened so /b/ became /pol/ spillover, and whatever's left is just blatant botposting that the Feds (who moderate /b/) cant be bothered to whack.

Maybe someday. There's cringe in there that needs to be filtered out.

Something unfortunate is that in my earliest days of lurking /b/ I wasn't in the habit of saving images. But there are some things I saved, and one of those things is this. I can almost vaguely remember the context, maybe captioned with "This is my waifu" based on what I named it?

I genuinely think that 4chan should integrate generative AI and you just describe the reaction you want to see in your post. Just imagine how much lower post quality can go with that! I can't wait for this shithole to die already so I can be free.

>>720278058
I support the transition from macro to meme cause meme is one less letter to type.

>>720281876
But memes require qualification, and aren't necessarily image macros. A meme becomes a meme because it gets mangled and twisted, appearing everywhere.

>>720252268 (OP)
Reaction images around the early-mid 2000s are passé because they're like any other trend. The moment it becomes mainstream, it becomes sterilized to be more palatable to a wider audience. Sure you can argue lolcat and ytmnd shit is palatable as is, but the truth of the matter is, those, alongside reaction images, formed a cultural zeitgeist around the community they were formed in that brought genuine connection. The moment they were taken out of those communities, that connection is lost. Cringe, slop, whatever buzzwords you want to use all look to describe the same thing.

It just ain't the same.

When you live in Russia and that one Russian guy keeps posting his qBittorrent all time ratio with CP in the background, blocks happen.

>>720286621
If only we had accounts so we could ban users instead of IP ranges and that would also mean that the users would post more quality content but nah nah being anonymoys and posting shit without consequences is so cool.

But I still do?

There are few things as satisfying as seeing a reaction image you cropped getting reposted in random corners of the site.

sorry man, best your gonna get nowdays is some guy screeching about trannies and/or the resident thread schizo mass replying everyone assuming everyone he replied to is the other resident thread schizo.

Why's this website and it's userbase so fucked in the head?

I'm not asking this as a newfag, I'm asking this as someone who has been here for over a decade, partook in the culture and usual shitpost flinging and shitting on others, but every since I became properly Christian, there's something that just changed about my entire feeling of this place. I barely ever post here like once or twice a month instead of daily, if something comes up like a new game release and that's about it, and every time I open it up, there's just something stirring in me that makes me feel disgusted and unfitting to be on here anymore. I started noticing the huge amount of conversations where people do nothing but just insult and curse at each other with no point for anything more and more and it all just feels so absolutely vile and disgusting, I just can't explain it but it feels like whenever I open this thing up again, I'm entering Sodom and Gomorrah, and anytime I don't conform to the usual shitposty personality that's been made up around this place, I just immediately get pointed at and shat on an either immediately called underaged or a newfag or whatever other type of slur possible depending on the context of my post.

This whole thing was something I had awareness of before this as well, but generally just ignored or tried not to pay much attention to it, but now it's just this feeling of filth that I keep getting myself in whenever I come visit again, which I shouldn't be in anymore or engage with.
