After 10+ years here, is /adv/, or 4chan as a whole, just bad for me?
I'm 30, and I don't feel like I'm getting much in terms of advice anymore, or that anyone's listening. Most everything is derailed by /pol/tards and people posting the word cuck, to the point where I can't tell if people are serious or not.
Thing is, I don't know if I should just try to stick to boards like /co/, or how I'll fill my time not posting here.
Has anyone else considered leaving, is in the process of leaving, or has left and come back?
I mostly just browse here to be entertained by seeing what amusing messes idiots get themselves into.
If you're 30 you should be adult enough to live your life without a randomly demographically-skewed sample of people on the internet telling you their subjective opinions at every juncture.
I'm 24, been here since I was 18, and I honestly find myself hiding more and more threads the older I get

It's changed me and not for the better.
I am more or less a /pol/tard though so I don't even mind anymore, but it's the place I go to when I feel sad and want to rage at the world, which is too often.
I tried leaving and all goes well until I get one of those bouts of sadness again and I'm back.
Well when you really take a moment and realize what site youre on youll have your answer. By all means dont let it stop you from enjoying yourself though.

I started coming here at 28. Love this place. I sympathize with a lot of anons. Many came from wealthier backgrounds than me, but shitty parenting fucked them hard. I'd like to think that I could help a few of them.
I've always been a big fan of places where political correctness need not apply.

Op you sound like some sort of mlp tier autist. Is that what 10 years of /adv/ does to people?
Do you have any valuable irl human connections? Or lets say even online

I have a ton of IRL friends, and an active social life. Still, I feel this place is becoming an echo chamber for shitty thoughts.

It is. What did you expect from a place whose only purpose of existence is to coddle people who depend on strangers online to tell them how to tie their shoelaces and act like a good normie?
