Last three years have probably been the biggest decline in the quality of this website since 2007. Here's basically why:

2014: GG hit, gaining a bunch of media attention and expanding the scope of internet activism on this website to include almost all media. Also, /b/ had the fappening, which attracted a bunch of particularly stupid chronic masturbaters.

2014-2015: /r9k/ popularized a bunch of smug Pepe memes, such as POO POO PEE PEE, tendies, REEEEEEEE, Good Boy Points, and other cancer. This content was popular on reddit and even Facebook, attracting a hoard of obnoxious frogposters. /r9k/ quickly became irredeemable and the new morons spread throughout the website. Notably, this process killed /lit/.

2016: American presidential election and the rise of the alt right as a popular term. /pol/ explodes in size, and comprises a huge percentage of the conversation on this website (/b/ is roughly as fast, but it's mostly image dumps). 4chan becomes a hive of racism in popular opinion. Newcomers are mostly loud, stupid, and hyperpolitical.

There's not much worth saving now.

4chan has always been shit and there never was anything worth saving

Take off your nostalgia glasses, Gramps.

You're not wrong.
>>
>>131316500
You are a complete retard who has spent the last five years on /b/.

There were good boards, they were just overwhelmed one by one. You may not believe it, but there were places on 4chan where at least a large minority of posters were intelligent and funny.
>>
Memes killed 4chan.
>>
>>131317559
If 4chan didn't have images it would be in much, much better shape.
>>
>>131316359
yeah, but where are we supposed to go?


theres still no place on the internet like this, so its either assimilate the newfags or deal with this garbage

Literally anywhere else.

This site has nothing to offer anybody. There is no quality content here you cannot get more quickly and efficiently elsewhere. This is an addiction which reduces your productivity, attention span, and free time. You are becoming more bitter, narrow minded, haughty, and old. Leave now and block this site. There is nothing here but slow, lonely suicide.

People do not have arguments here. Posters do not engage one another on key points, they nitpick with greentext and mock each other. Nobody is interested in the truth; people are battling for fleeting moments of superiority. Active commenters are loud jackasses who tumble into one internet fight after another, anxiously keeping ten tabs open to ensure they keep the last word in all of them. An insightful post is one in ten thousand, and no matter how hard you filter this place you are still searching for diamonds in a garbage dump.

This place is not making you happy. You are not having fun. You are not gathering stories to tell, learning, or growing as a person. Instead you chuckle every thirty minutes and are occasionally spurred to masturbation by libidinal posts or pictures. You are addicted to readily available information and pressure free social interaction. This place is slowly poisoning you with misogyny, narcissism, a false dichotomy surrounding normalfags, and insecurity.

I'm not telling you to b urself. I'm not telling you to go outside. I'm not even telling you to make friends. Just leave 4chan. Do anything else.

They will be assimilated.

Thx man, deinstalling Mimi, bye

>>131317559
This. Website focused too much on this meme shit. Back in the earlier days no one refered to this shit as memes and just posted funny stuff repeatedly because it was funny. I collect pepes because I like them, but I don't really find them funny.
>>
First rule of 4chan: 4chan always was better in the past.
>>
The problem we failed to preserve board culture. Go to v they don't know what a 4am thread is, they used to call board culture cancer, yea well look at us now.
>>
>>131318412
Probably not man. Once there are enough newfags to give eachother positive feedback for garbage it's pretty much done, the culture is permanently changed.
>>
>>131318292
>anywhere else
everywhere else is absolute trash when it comes to the internet

i still get some valuable information from /pol/ occasionally too, probably not enough to justify the amount of time spent here but its still decent information

if i found a better place id be out of here in a heartbeat but i cant
>>
>>131316359
Well since the election /pol/ is mostly edgy middle schoolers who want to be part of le ebin raidz such as HWNDU, Facebook moms and dads who vote Republican and want to be seen as hip by sharing Pepe memes and phoneposter college students who think saying there are only 2 genders makes them some sort of "tell it as it is" badass who speaks for those who don't want to say what they're thinking. /pol/ is the new /b/ - the gateway board for cancer stemming from media attention from faggots bringing political activism here. This cancer is affecting the other boards too
>>
>>131318292
Nice copypasta, John Flynt.
>>
>>131320279
/pol/ has been infecting other boards for awhile. it just exploded after GG and again during the election

i dont really see it slowing down unless NOTHING happens for a few months at least
>>
>>131321064
When /pol/ would spread to other boards it would just be an anon referencing how he hates niggers or Jews in some /tv/ thread. That doesn't bother me. My issue lies with the modern /pol/ userbase (newfags from election) who clearly stick out of place on 4chan compared to the rest of the site and them posting outside of /pol/

i havent seen many of these, though that might be because im mostly on /pol/ now

In this year sosach suffered too, what an intersting (((coincidence))) as if somebody planned death of imageboards.
>>
>>131322347
Also if you're really as much of an elderfag as you come off: Is it just me or did 4chan not have nearly as much of the "dude I'm a trap x3 whats this *notices bulge* OwO RAWRR" type faggotry 10 years ago (~2007)? I mean sure, there was Linetrap/Bailey Jay but that's about it. Nowadays it seems like every board has their own resident tranny population, and even resident tranny tripfags/namefags

Your post is worse than "hey white boi" threads.

I came in 2010, the 2007 bit of the OP is sheer hearsay.

In my experience you're right, though. Traps and trannies are bigger almost everywhere. So are anime girl avatarfagging s-stutterers who post l-lewd things and abuse spoilertext.

Trannies and chasers are total cancer, they're basically the only fetishists who have proven they can flat out kill boards. 4chan convinced me that autogynephilia is real and it spreads like smallpox among male shut ins with access to pornography.

>>131324206
Explicate you AIDS ridden nigger.

>>131318292
I hear you, but I just don't know where to find quality discussion elsewhere (well, I have a site for politics, but that's it)

Oh shit, it's happening again.
>>
I remember 4chan right when I left something Awful in 2005.

It wasn't better honestly but what we have now is pure shit. Politics was just a joke and well now it isn't.

But the one thing that really killed 4chan as I knew it was Captcha.
>>
>>131324985
How so?
>>
>>131324985
also fucking normies ruin everything. I miss when being offensive was just for the "lulz".
>>
>>131316359
I have to admit.. lefty here that came to /pol/ because of the goddamn pepe frog literally being posted all over the internet. I came to see what this was all about, and encountered a level of racism and intolerance the likes I don't think you'd find even in the deepest pit in Hell. I decided it would be a just and righteous thing to shitpost all over this site, fighting the hatred and evil here with alternative and hopeful messages of progressiveness and inclusion. If this place has become cancerous, then that is ok because this place is something that needs to succumb to cancer or anything that will erase it forever.

Good luck. You'll be redpilled in 6 months tops.

ip flags were a new thing, now it's back to how it used to be
>>
>>131326027
the best thing that happened to me on this site was that I learned of the porn site BLACKED.com. I am not sure how I would have learned of that site any other place than here. Now I routinely watch videos of 90 lb. white waifs getting seeded by strong african men, and it is about the hottest thing I have ever seen. I thank /pol/ for bringing this site to my attention.

You are correct. Brit/pol has been over-run by tripfags who offer nothing of worth, and idiots, lowering the quality of the thread to nigger IQ levels.
