Okay, first time on /r9k/. Tell me something. How does the forced originality algorithm end in the reputation of this board? You know, the one where everyone is a socially awkward kissless permavirgin incel who whines all the time about girls being horrible. Help me understand.

Lack of a single defined topic of discussion, really. It eventually ends with people talking about themselves, and I'd reckon that most people on 4chan aren't models of mental health. That leads to the board getting a reputation for being miserable, and since misery loves company, more and more sad people flock here.

Hell if I know, but we do have some good memes.

The answer to the question lies in the board's mostly forgotten history. When /r9k/ was first launched, the algorithm more or less set the stage for the board to be a more "productive" version of /b/. For awhile that worked. The early meme was everyone calling each other gentlemen and sort of paying lip service to this idea that we were all going to have substantial conversations with each other. Over time though, this warped into foreveralones constantly talking about >tfw no gf, which built on itself and after awhile drove out all other discussion. Then you ended up with /r9k/ being what it is now, an asylum for incels and fuckups.
