Why was 4chan so reddit back in the past?

>>37175927
Reddit is like past 4chan*

Lol I don't know but here's one Internet for posting that memorable image :D

>>37175927
4chan was kinda a bunch of cringey nerds, but even Reddit stole that.
Reddit tends to steal 10 year old jokes.

It was a different time, that wasn't cringy and reddit-tier back then.
If you went back to the '30's, you wouldn't be surpised when people talk weird, now, would you?

Fpbp

OP is a newfag trying too hard to fit in. Lurk more faggot, or better yet leave.

>>37176907
>actually using the phrase 'lurk more'

Why don't you just change you fucking name to 'I'm a fucking Reddit newfag'

>>37176970
>telling blatant newfags to lurk gets you accused of being new

4chan is dying.

>>37176970
Now that is some actually decent bait

4chan died 5 years ago

this looks so much like bait but i just know it isn't

>>37175927
Because these were the memes of the day.

When 4chan was new the userbase was mostly highschool students. Hardly anyone was self-aware of how cringey they sounded on forums. Now that forums have become more mainstream, people are a lot more self-aware about how they post so cringe happens a lot less. People talk as if they are in a class debate.

Things that would have been bait even 6 months ago are serious posts by newfags and holes. They have ruined 4chan, and this sub in particular.

I used to have hope that the mods and janitors would start supporting board culture and opposing the newfag invasion like theby used to, but I can see that will never happen.

Reddit is kind of like the little annoying faggot whose friends with the popular kids at school and tries to act like the loner kid at some point since he wants to look like he has his own personality.

>People talk as if they are in a class debate.

I want to go to the debate class where saying everything from "stupid simpering faggot" to "typical response from a cum guzzling hole" were acceptable responses.

lmao

>not subverting reddit speak in a self aware meta ironic meme

>>37175927
Because that type of posting wasn't completely played out yet, I mean it was 2006, the real question is why is reddit and tumblr still like that?

>>37175927

the difference is that reddit actually has moderately successful adults who are regular users of various subreddits.

4chan is exclusively the domain of sub-30 losers/freaks/geeks/autists and their reddit peers.

>>37175927

Back in 2006 I'd have laughed at that. It's not a bad joke, but humor has evolved in these 11 years since.

Meanwhile, reddit may still ban you for that kind of joke. Reddit is so conformist that it takes a long time for humor to spread from here to there. By the time it does the humor is out of date, and the redditors add their own """charm""" to it.

>troll face used to be funny

Please lord, don't ever take Pepe's meme power.

>>37178417
Pepe stopped being funny once the normalfag from nu/pol/ and reddit got a hold of it. If you still find it unironically amusing then that just shows you're one of them.

>>37178417
Where have you been for the last 3 years?

>>37177318
reminds me of my school kek

>>37178496
>>37178530

Pepe is still a good meme, he's wounded but I will heal him.

>>37178496
>>37178597
I was goi9ng to say Pepe is only good for collecting now, but even normalfags have ruined that

>tfw get accused of being reddit for using 4chan memes
>Trying so hard to fit in and not knowing reddit copies everything from us

>>37178597
Pepe is a turbo normie meme that the retards on /pol/ killed. It's entirely unsalvageable.

>>37178496
Pepe is a symbol and it's never leaving

I actually miss those days. 4chan is too serious and political now.

>>37178736
God, you reek of nu/pol/. Kills yourself.
