I've just measured the traffic on /pol/ and /b/, and compared the numbers to those found on neet.tv for the same interval.

In one hour 4chan had 42670 new replies, 7912 (18%) of those came from /pol/, and 5136 (12%) from /b/.

According to the front page, 4chan has 27,700,000 unique visitors per month. If we assume the same post frequency of the users across boards, this gives an estimate of around 4,986,000 (18%) unique visitors on /pol/ per month. Of-course /pol/ has more shitposters, as do /b/, and so if we assume they both have 10 times as large post frequency as other boards (which is obviously too much), this still gives around 700,000 unique visitors on /pol/ per month. In this estimate we have not taken into consideration cross board users, and so the two estimated numbers of unique visitors should be too low in both cases.

From this we can conclude that there are most likely between 700,000 and 5,000,000 unique visitors on /pol/ each month. And if I am just going to continue pulling numbers out of my ass, I would say there are at least a couple of million /pol/acks out there in this brave new world.
>>
Let's continue. 4chan claims that the age demographic on 4chan is people of age 18-34, let's include people from the age of 15-34. According to some random population pyramid i found online, this age span makes up around 27% of the american population (this number is probably similar in other western countries other than Sweden and Germany).

There are around 1 billion people living in the western world, 270 million of those are within 4chans age demographic, which indicates that 0.7% of this age span consist of /pol/acks. According to 4chan 70% of it's users are males, and the rest are either women or traps. If we assume the same applies to /pol/ (believe me, there are plenty of traps on /pol/) this gives that 1% of males within our age group in the western world are /pol/acks.

This an English website, so let's just look at the US. Around 323 million people live in the US, 87 million of those within 4chans age group. 49% of the traffic on 4chan is from the US. This gives that 1% /pol/acs, and considering the gender demographics we have that 1.6% of american boys and men between the age 15-34 years old browse /pol/.

Nonsense. Few people are tech literate enough now to even know how to use them.

No it's not. Believe it or not, but /pol/ is by far the fastest board on 4chan now. I included my own count for /b/ in the numbers, and my count for /pol/ only diverged by 3 replies, so I suppose I did well enough.

4chan's own numbers, and the activity on this board compared to the rest of the website. You can compare the traffic with other websites. 4chan is within top 100 in most western countries.

I remember some years back someone estimated that 80% of the visitors to 4chan does not contribute, they just read the threads. This is probably close to the truth.

That's called the "99% rule". 80% is way too low.

>>140423760
Your assumptions are seriously wrong based on my own knowledge of /pol/ posters. /pol/ tends to attract the most fanatical and also the most autistic posters across the whole of 4chan. This means that individuals with deep obsessions are persistently drawn to the site and post on it many dozens of times per day. This massively skews the number of distinct individuals downward from your estimates. Also, moot knew this which is why he created /pol/ as a containment board. It's the place where the most disruptive, annoying, and retarded people of 4chan can be corralled together to shitpost at each other until everyone dies.

Your estimates are just made-up bullshit, OP. They don't even correspond to known patterns of /pol/ posters / autistic people.

I've been doing it for years because it subliminally forces your mind to focus on each line as a separate concept, leading to greater retention of thought and identity.

That and it triggers faggots who have only been here a year and think it's their turn to play policeman.

I had my laughs too at your writing skills but nice work too OP. Figure the demographic and metaintimatedata that PsyOp agencies gather from this website (and others) each day with their shillposting. Even if I were the Doritos CEO I would be trying to be 4chan based. They must know the real numbers but your OP was neat

Hey did i claim it are you the guy with Norweigan flag? I said few hundreds in one moment with alot of people going in and out here but i said its tottaly random number and idk at all >>140389558 but i got no answer on that thread.
Anyways pol reach/Trafic seems low, pic related sub got Brigaded with a huge popular thread >>140412720 and it only hovered at 200 people there in last 15 minutes (82 in pic since thread is gone and i took it now). Anytime there is youtube or strawpoll thread it gets rarely any views/votes added

After shitposting everyday I came to recognize use certajn posters, even when they switched flags

There were 2000+ posters on /pol/who were Russian. After we outed them, they left and we're back down to 150 Jew haters of all bents, about the same number of Nazi cardboard sword tiki torchers and maybe 50 KKK. About 1% of /b/ I suppose
