4chan - the Internet hate machine

[TyrasGuard]

Haven't been a channer in 15 years, decided to check in on /b/. It's literally all porn now. Nothing even remotely funny.

I've tried going to /v/ and the amount of Twitter screenshot threads is just fucking sad.

I'm also sure that bots there don't even bother to pretend they are not bots, a lot of replies are just "people" typing with perfect grammar who reply a contrarian opinion to whatever you posted. If you spend two consecutive days there you'll see the same responses to the same threads. The only threads that gather attention are the ones that are made despite already having a /vg/ equivalent.

/sp/ is in a sad state for the World Cup. While still out of habit to visit during a big event for myself all I see is seething about everything from the host countries to endless porn. The only ok threads are the late night matches that are tolerable.

Should I even bother coming here and complaining about how bad /co/ has gotten. Look I know they're one of the most autistic boards on the site but at least a few years ago there would be industry leaks or cool behind the scenes shit. I was baffled checking the board after the Shrek 5 trailer dropped and seeing nothing but fucking ai slop and soft core porn. I just wanted to read anons calling the trailer fake and gay or something it's all so tiresome. These days I just use Lolcow farm or here to read reactions to animation and shit.

It's also visible in the overall culture of the website, which has skewed super left wing in a distinctly "autistic teenager" sort of way. You can open any thread on 4chan today and find kids having meltdowns about how AI is depleting the Earth's water supply, random posts relating orange man or capitalism to the topic at hand, etc. Gives you a window into how unhealthily politically obsessed the average child is in 2026 actually

I think this is mostly just justified chud fatigue since if you’re not performatively outraged by culture war and try to have even the most milquetoast nuance of opinion about anything, entire threads descend into a witch hunt to out hypothetical tranny jews. Besides, the most blatantly underage political spergs are shartyfags.

Okay, which one of you was it?
