Things would be a lot more rad that's for sure.

The real /v/ wasn't this pathetic when it was first created. If it had been around in the 90s it would've had a more mature userbase because little kids weren't really on the internet holding discussions yet.

Although eventually we reach the September That Never Ends and history takes its due course from there.

this.
it would have been like usenet. high quality posts would be higher and low quality trolls would be lower. but at the very least there would be no ironic shitposting. that was a reddit invention and it ravished this board like no other

Oh indeed. Add in the fact that /v/ has rarely ever been able to self moderate itself in the absence of mods and it's just the worst combination you could ask for.

yup. faggots kept taking the bait. i remember days where the first 5 pages or so had every single thread either started as a troll thread or derailed by faggots. i guess in the long run it made a lot of posters change boards and made them stronger against such faggotry. shame though, because looking at the catalog now, it
