Why aren't there any old-/b/ style anarchists anymore, who

>>35612032

Because the same goes with any website after 2009. The mass widespread of normies these days have made the internet as a continuation of their personalities rather than using the internet for shitposting purposes. They log on Facebook or Snapchat and act as if the Internet is another playground where everyone is suppose to be serious like in real life. Normies do not know the difference between internet banter and serious discussions. Ever since it became cool to correct someone's grammar/spelling in 2011, People started to try and "school" others so they can screenshot it and send it to their friends. All this social media and cyberbullying nonsense has made the internet into a place where everything should be taken seriously.

A lot of old fags have left. I don't mean age either

Idk there was a shift from 2006 to 2010 ish of something. Ppl from back then are almost non existent nowadays.

They would seem weird

>tfw they exist but only lurk now
>tfw i'm not one of those

>>35612032
lol communities evolve it's okay senpai you can still be what you describe it's cool

I'm like that, but I mostly just lurk now. 4chan feels so different now, maybe it's just that I'm older, but I just browse out of habit and don't really enjoy it.

Aside from r9k, I meme really hard and pretend to be super invested in a topic and do all I can to incite an angry response out of anons.

Back when, no one gave a shit about anything and "trolling" was more about just fucking around in threads and posting funny shit or subtle porn or an image that was way more interesting than the topic.

Nowadays some of that works but the easiest way to get people upset is to actually engage them and pretend to be a shill or just vehemently oppose whatever stupid autistic position they've decided to defend.

So it comes across as me being really uptight and everyone being really serious, but I know there are more than just me that do this.

Oddly enough this shit wouldn't work back then because people would just call you a faggot nigger or would simply ignore you.

I should mention too that I just don't post as much as I used too, I also don't browse as much as I used to.

4chan and social media is just becoming really boring to me and i've been actually reading a lot more lately.

Maybe i'm just getting old like this dog. I wonder if this dog is still alive, I think birthday dog wasn't until like 2013 maybe though, so its a possibility.

The Jews have turned politics into entertainment and tricked people into picking sides

>>35612467
We still exist, in small numbers yes, microscopic maybe even. It's just most of the shit you people write on here nowadays is so retarded that replying to it needs way more mental effort than I've put into anything for the past 15 years. So I just jack off on the /s/ then browse here while I'm smoking my post jack off cigarette.

2006-2010 went from Golden Age to Less than Shit and here we are today which is a normed up internet.

Aka 4chan was made after moot thought he was better than FYAD and jesus christ now you have Pol fags who think they are fucking gold and worship that c-rated weev.

Someone should tell them SJWs are too easy but if it werent for SJWS, the pol maga fags would be primetime and that would just be too much gold.

Either way, cuck it, we all losed.

Pathetic does not begin to sum it up.

I'm here OP. Been here since 2006.

/pol/ was still kind of nihilistic until before the election. Sadly there aren't many sites for us. Everyone is made of glass now.

>>35612032
We're still here, hiding, waiting.

We are still here, and we are prepared for the revolution

LISTEN ASSHOLE WE NEED LAWS

WE NEED DRUGS AND CP AND EVERYTHING ILLEGAL

WE -NEED- PEOPLE TO TELL US WHAT TO DO YOU RETARD BETA!

ITS COMMON SENSE! GET THAT LOLI SHIT OUT OF HERE! GET THAT GORE SHIT OUT OF HERE! I CANT BELIEVE YOU DID SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHAT KIND OF HUMAN ARE YOU!

> evolve
> triggered about everything

I wrote moot emails about /jp/ and later on not deleting it and protecting its users several times. I just realized that was almost 10 years ago and at that point I was already senior to most regulars. Where did everybody go?

It's not cool anymore.

At some point, /b/ reached a critical mass of underage Facebooking Redditors who aren't genuinely /b/, but want to playact the part for a while. See: /r/4chan.

The hardcore users realise the posers for what they are, see the whole scene has jumped the shark, and move onto something else. The clueless stay behind and clumsily perpetuate the culture on the soulless husk of the board.

It's how every subculture dies.

Nah you're just another newfag

This.

Idk what the og ppl did. Personally, I think they grew up

>>35615399

They grew up and went to /pol/. This is why modern /pol/ resembles old /b/ so uncannily in form of discussion

Ironic shitposting went too far.

The entire Decline and Fall of 4chan can be traced to it in my view.

The internet makes you fucking crazy. It was fine when it was just us isolated loons that never achieved critical mass for this crap to really slip into real life, but once smartphones came around and you didn't need to be at your computer all day to be online all the time it all went to shit. Social media amplifies all the worst things about humanity short of bloodshed and murder.

>Why aren't there any old-/b/ style anarchists anymore, who basically didn't give a shit about anything and weren't offended by anything?

They are still out there, but just avoiding this board. Remember, the internet is not the whole of society, just a very small, vocal and narcasistic part of it.

>>35612032
We grew older.

I was here before project chanology, and I was just a try hard edgy teen who thought the memes were cool. Now that has passed and many of us crave for a solid identity and set of moral values

Also, since then, tons of normies started using the internet and found their way to 4chan

>>35612032
>Why aren't there any old-/b/ style anarchists anymore, who basically didn't give a shit about anything and weren't offended by anything?

Because the golden days are over and are never, ever coming back. Enjoy this tired culture war, OP, because it's going to play out endlessly for the next fifteen fucking years. Are you excited to have the sexist or degenerate content of fucking Nickelodeon kids shows analyzed by these hopeless fucks? I know I'm not but it's happening anyway.

The four epochs of 4chan:

>anime fanclub proto-memer era
>nihilist "asshole of the internet" era
>chanology hacktivist collective era
>incel #MAGA /r/the_donald era

>>35613378
This. I just don't feel like I connect or want to talk to 99% of posters nowadays. Whenever I post something, I only get met with aggression and it's impossible to discuss anything since 2008 because of the proliferation of ironic shitposting.

>been here since 2006
>i saw the rise and death of countless styles of posting, trends, and the eventual withering of my kind
There's no point. I know I should have moved on way back but I have nowhere else to go. Even wizardchan is dead as fuck so there's no alternative even though I barely post nowadays.

>>35615824
Ironic shitposting has made it so it's pointless to reply to anything, and you have to tread very thin ice in any thread that could be "good" because one shitpost later it's derailed completely

I used to post all the time back in like 2009, or when /x/ was good.

This is why i never post on /v/ anymore and just lurk

So i guess the problem is oldfags or whatever you want to call us just don't post because there's nothing worth replying too

>>35617488
>Ironic shitposting has made it so it's pointless to reply to anything
That's pretty much it. It also makes trolling irrelevant because in theory, anyone can be "ironically" retarded and fall back on that.

Because Chanology ruined fucking everything.

>>35614882
Although I am a new fag, looking at the shit that came out of the old 4chan, I would have liked it a lot better
