4chan can be thought of as 2 groups.
>A. those who post more than they read (proactive)
>B. Those who read more than they post (reactive)
Who deserves more credit for creation of 4chan's proverbial essence?
if PAID shills are removed from group A, leaving only those who post because "teh lulz" is playing god by directly influencing board culture, what percentage of group A remains?
>>8986063
1 or 0?
As much as it pains the universe to admit it it is always the pro-active force that instigates.
Sub-frequencies exist only to amplify.
>>8986063
neglecting 1 set of people.
>C. Those that read and post an equal amount of times
>>8986079
I postulate that the odds are in favor of no such person existing as one who would belong to group C
If you never read and only post you are arrogant. If you only read and never post you are selfish.
>>8986216
And what if you do both in moderation?
>>8986087
I postulate that almost everyone reads more than they post. You'd have to be posting on cooldown to post more than you read. Basically, you'd have to have the posting habits of a bot.
>>8986063
Assuming people read what they post themselves, it's impossible that someone could read less than they post.
>>8986087
what about a person who shitposts and then replies to exactly one person? That person is having a one on one conversation, and is only reading the posts of the person they are conversing with.
>>8986063
What do you mean?
African or European?
>>8986063
you mean postactive and readactive.
>>8986241
How can I know which one I am?
it's probably impossible to post more than one reads, but yeah the reactive posters have superior instincts. who the fuck lurks 4chan?
>>8986063
this image is physically painful for the white race
>>8986233
only on /sci/ one can see such kinds of arguments lol
>>8986063
interesting
>>8986225
Selfish and arrogant
>>8987427
this is my first post
>>8987427
i lurk new boards when i don't know their memes or just to lurk for boredoms sake.
>>8986063
Do you really think anyone pays people to post here? Seems like a pure waste of money
>>8986063
mandatory threadly shitpost
>>8986063
There literally isn't a single person in group A. You'd have to make up over half the posts in every thread you read.
>>8986063
Your premise is retarded.
>reads 50 posts
>replies to none and creates own thread
That's not reactive.
>posts 50 times, reads one reply
This is not a fucking blog. Anyone who does this should be shot.
>>8986079
Neglecting yet another set of people that is necessary for the entire probability set
>D. those who visit 4chan and neither read nor post
>>8989269
yfw i create threads and answer myself and troll myself
>tfw so many yous
