4chon and image boards in general are over. Multiple causes keep them in a self-perpetuated state of stagnation. I don't think there's anything to gain from talking to people on the internet anymore. Those with hobbies and interests that wanted to share things with others moved on, and most of the people left are foky-tier sub-humans, with so little value that they can't even express their own opinions. Stuff like this
>>42179 is quickly becoming the last straw for me. This is not the only time or place I have seen it. If they're not bots then they may as well be. Things have gotten so sick that you can't even expect mundane posts to be a genuine reply anymore, and even on a back water site like this no less. I know there are a few real human beens left here, but we've all gotten older. We're not the same people we were a decade ago, and our interests and tastes have diverged. When it comes to politics especially, I'm sure most of us are just tired of it. This is probably also a large contributor to the lack of posts. I think a sense of nostalgia from the few vestiges of familiarity left is the only thing that keep me lurking here.
