When we look at /g/ now days its a conglomerate of requests and generals. Hiding just the requests and shitposts (">using x" " is x a meme" etc) ends up hiding 99 threads and leaves us with almost only generals. Now the generals arent the bad part and while i dislike them thoroughly as they don't promote proper discussion, some of them are somewhat necessary.

The board itself has declined in quality over the past many years, and while we won't namecall it's obvious the solution is either mass banning or a board split. Thats why I'm proposing the two boards;
/g/ - consumer tech
/whatever/ - technology

consumer tech aims mainly at the "shill" threads but can also incorporate question threads if done properly through generals. technology allows for proper discussion as well as the generals that dont relate to consumer tech (/dpt/ /fglt/, etc). This is the best solution as it provides a balance between generals and discussion related to that field (consumer or tech).

While I do quite like this set up, another possibility is
/g/ - technology
/gg/ - technology generals
The issue with this though is a board solely for generals obviously doesn't promote discussion and implementing new generals then becomes a difficult task due to promotion. Another point with this set up is that it also requires tech support threads to be banned from /g/ (they arent meant to be posted there anyway, but often are).
