Why is this board dying, do people not like /a/ anymore?

I know you watch Blaze subs but are you high?

I feel like /a/ doesn't even watch seasonal anime.

>>160648200
the opposite, people like it too much, so they shit it up with their private conversations instead going to an irc channel
/anime generals/ when?

I'm in about 15 or so threads right now. None of them are seasonal anime either. Make some threads about anime you like and you'll find enjoyment out of it.

>>160648200
Everything eventually dies in one way or another.

/a/ died with anime.

I like the board as slow as it is now. Any board where a thread can reach page 10 and 404 in less than 30 minutes is shit.

/a/ is one of the most popular boards on 4chan though.

>>160648627

Do you want to turn to /jp/ which takes a thread weeks to die?

>>160648627
Sucks for you then. I like it.

>>160648674
It's the slowest of the most popular boards. I recall one anon posting the post frequency of each board and it turns out that even /vg/ is faster than /a/.

>>160648610
Well, of course you won't share on /a/. But then if I only ever post on /a/ and have only ever posted on /a/, how am I supposed to find alternatives to /a/ when nobody on here posts about them? I've been here so long but at the same time there's nowhere else to go. Losing /a/ would be devastating - only alternates would be other chans.

>>160648200
8 years in and i'm still lurking.
I will watch /a/ slowly fade away.
This is my task.

I feel like the bad season bogeyman has come true for once. It seems pretty abysmal.

There are probably a surprising number of /a/nons who actually do eventually end up dating/marrying 3D women with ticking biological clocks and then they aren't allowed to watch anime anymore. Much less talk about it on a Tibetan rock carving message board.

Also there are less genuine newfags (people who don't come with intentions of shitting up the place) because everyone under about 20 was raised during the facebook era (assuming they were 6 when they started using the internet of course) and a place like 4chan is too hard to navigate for them and they actually do commit sudoku when told to.

Pretty much.
You go in one of those threads in which people post what anime they are watching this season and like 9 out of 10 people are watching 3 or less anime. Thing is those are the people that thrive inside the generals doing nothing but posting "memes", tumblr images and blogging.

Normalfags shouldn't be allowed to post here anyway.

Only reason you plebs still are relevant is because of my bois over at Dragon Ball Super general.
This is a Dragon Ball Only board now.

>>160649088
But that doesn't matter to /a/. Even if other boards grew, /a/ shouldn't slow down unless it's dying.

>>160649088
I can't believe /b/ is still the most popular board after all these years.

>>160649013
Anime is more prevalent since I was 16, so many more places to talk about it. When I got roped into facebook for relatives I was in disbelief that there were anime groups on it.

In my head anime is still something only paste eaters and social reprobates are in to.

Conventions are no longer these really tiny shitty things.

>>160649013
>and a place like 4chan is too hard to navigate for them
Imagine being so wrong. Moot stated back in 2010 or so that mobile posting accounted for 40% of all traffic. It's undoubtedly far higher now. To those people, 4chan is just another app, and as such, discussion is fleeting.

>>160649177
There is also that, there is no need to go to 4chains when you can talk about anime on platforms you already use such as facebook.

Now if only we could convince fujoshi to stay on their containment websites in a similar way we'd be golden.

>>160649254
Then what's number 1 now? It can't be /pol/. I think it's still /b/.

>>160649196
This whole year was ass, last thing i liked was drifters, spent this whole year on backlog.

>>160649311
It's most definitely /pol/, I'd imagine. Especially after the American elections. On a side note, why do people browse /b/? It's just another porn board the this point.

I feel like /a/ is truly dying. I only recently came back to this board after a 4 year absence, and I can tell you, this board is MUCH slower. Threads stay up for days, looks like the only threads that get any sort of activity are generals for currently airing shows or dumps/releases of new chapters/LNs. Every other thread is just.....dead, empty, you don't get replies for hours and the board looks pretty much the same all day.

I want to believe it's summer, or a really shitty season, but I've legitimately never seen it this bad in my past years. What happened to this place? Was it because moot left, some pissy mod like anti loli mod from years past or something else?

I still feel like /a/ suffered less decrease of quality than other popular boards. /b/ turned into a fetish porn dump, /v/ got rekt during gamergate, kinda the same for /pol/. On /tv/ they dont even discuss movies anymore, it's like designated shitposting board. Although /a/ changed too, anime seems to be more efficient normie deterrent than gore spam or open racism.

Lots of pessimism in here. Losing a little activity over a period of years is far from dying.

Still relevant. SA has become a hive of left wing leaning parasites, and because as of late you can no longer even view threads without paying the 10bux, it isn't as appealing.

Nope, the only solution is a battle shonen board. Most of /a/'s cancer is tied up in battle shonen shit like Jojo, DB, and SnK. It's clear there is a massive demographic split between battle shonen shitters and the rest of /a/.

>>160651649
?
Most ideas are inherently associated with some form of political standing. Also, people wanting equality and rights for minorities haven't just suddenly politicized stuff, it's just that forms of criticism that were already well known in academia have been getting more and more popular

It's true, though. /v/ is shit, but it's nowhere near as bad as it was before /vg/

Culture evolved at a rapid pace. Little girls doing little girl things is QUICKLY losing steam.

So long as studios pander to an increasingly self conscious crowd, they will continue this downward spiral.

We don't lynch the actual Nazis in our midst, plus the Left sprinting further to the left makes centrists look like Right-wingers. 4chan's insanely anti-PC attitude makes everything seem more Right-leaning than it really is.

It's just a slow season, there isn't much to discuss. I haven't even started picking up shows yet aside from Symphogear and the Isekai restaurant. RIP neregate.
One of the biggest problems that permeates the entire website is phoneposting, it is super convenient. I love to browse /a/ and others on the way to wageslaving, the problem is that it's a braindead way to shitpost. You can bait for replies and be a retard with no repercussions since it's so easy to change IPs. Removing the ability to phonepost would be swell, I believe it would be an overnight change. Make it pass only if you really want the shekels you chinese piece of shit moot.
Another problem is /pol/ but it's too late to change that. moot should have doubled down and let /pol/ die back then. It is probably the site's biggest mistake.

People seem to forget that the majority of people are in the middle and all the shitflinging from the extremists on both sides are the minority.

>>160652584
The thing is, politics are an extension of our values. We extrapolate those values on to society, our hobbies, fears, whatever. Even when discussing harmless anime, we extrapolate our values. This inevitably leads towards a political discussion if both sides are rigorous in their beliefs. It's not that /pol/ is inserting itself unwarranted, it's that it's always present yet dormant until opposing views clash.

>>160652839
i honestly am too lazy to do the reserch on the wage gap, but if it exists i think we should put a remedy to it. isn't this a pretty standard proposition even for the right?
Same for the college rape epidemic.
Regarding immigration i think nations should be better equipped to deal with it but stopping people from coming in ain't gonna solve shit. see implicit biases regarding race for xenophobic ramifications of the problem.
Isn't gender dysphoria tied to trans right?i mean, if people aren't comfortable with the gender they've been assigned at birth they're just gonna transition, there's not much you can do about that

>>160652817
>I don't see how this leads to the control of the individual and that orwellian shit
Then you haven't been paying attention to the world. Trans is as much of a mental illness as anorexia and suicide rates double in post-op individuals. The left paints itself as this utopia. Where if you fall in line with their beliefs, everything will be perfect for you. But bring up stats of suicide or the contradiction of fat acceptance and gender reassignment, and you'll be ostracized. It happened with Seth Rogan, Amy Schumer, several DNC staffers. There is an unspoken pecking order to the left agenda and they will trash you the moment it is convenient.

It takes minimal effort to check these things. You're a poster-child for why American are turning into subjects instead of citizens.

The wage gap disappears as soon as you correct for men and women working similar jobs with similar employment histories. Women make up the majority of college undergraduates, and it's only going to get worse.

The rape epidemic is a meme. All of the claims are either fabricated or come from hilariously biased surveys.

>see implicit biases regarding race for xenophobic ramifications of the problem
Wew, are you actually capable of critical thought, or do you just parrot talking points you got from some Marxist's asshole? Carte-blanche immigration is extremely damaging to the lower class and destroys national culture.

I don't even think you're capable of discussing all the issues surrounding gender dysphoria.

>>160653078
>but if it exists i think we should put a remedy to it.
Women have smaller deviation and since 1% makes 99% it will always skew the results.
they also more often end their career to take care of the kids, skewing it even further (often you need some time to get to better paying jobs).
