I heard about that

on the first year of /biz/, there was actual rich people there giving advice about stocks, investments, starting a business, etc

now it's just crypto shilling and nothing else

There are two degenerative trends on image boards and one fatal flaw

speaking of crypto shilling, where is our resident crypto shill?

dont derail this

we already derailed enough by talking about 4chan 😂

One is "people don't understand the filter is not sincere". See: "/v/ hates games"
Two is getting overrun
The fatal flaw is getting 1984'd by mods in an attempt to prevent this

The only way to keep post quality is to be nomadic and obscure

>The only way to keep post quality is to be nomadic and obscure

this

so much

it hurts

but that's the thing, you can have a big community, but it still needs to be "kinda" niche

I kinda can't help but see image boards as a kind of social microcosm either

Wherein it seems like the normal methods of growth and stagnation lead to an overabundance of people who are not terribly interested in the original key principles, or contributing to larger works

This is also, going back to imageboards, probably why /tg/ is one of the more productive boards

Yeah, see: https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths

I hate that article

What the hell do they mean by muggles?

imo that article is shit

and they give names to shit that make nosense

that article is really bad to explain 4chan boards for example

it fits for fashion and music groups though

fighting entropy is a losing battle

and technology constantly speeds up the rate of entropy

That TES furry actually wrote good articles on 4chan

being "nomadic", or in other words "constantly moving" is the only way to really keep things "consistent". As entropy takes down the old which you have built, you are in the process of creating something new. At some point the old and the new will have been brought to equal levels, and once the old has completely fallen to entropy, it is time to move on.

in this way, you fluctuate around a axis, that axis is your consistency

Surely efficiency has a roll to play here. Like instead on making an axe out of a stone every week I can spend a week to make an axe that lasts a year?

Info > site it's posted on

i'm just joking because its tumblr

It belongs to a "drawfriend"

there is plenty of good stuff buried in tumblr.... it just is quiet, and therefore not often brought into the light.

That is an amazing writeup on 4chan.

It is my go to for explaining anon to people

you know, tumblr seems to be overwhelmingly female. this post seems to claim 4chan is pretty equal in its gender distribution, social media seems to primarily attract more females than males. I'm beginning to think that the internet, at least by todays standards, is fulled with may more female influence than people care to admit

People often pave over facts to fit narratives

also, how hilarious is it that you can technically claim 4chan is the most diverse and equal place on the internet

Remember how Black Panther was the first black superhero on the big screen?

yeah

and deadpool was the first rated r superhero movie

Yup

which both of those are at least beat by blade

and underrated movie if you ask me

and there was probably ones before that too

I'd actually argue females, but particularly young middle class females are heavily over-represented in everything.

i would agree with that assessment

the more you really look, the more it seems things are catered to females.

because society knows that males follow where females go

look at bars

they want to attract and keep women because it brings in more customers, usually male.

wait wait wait

there's no way it is equal

what is "it"

tumblr IS overwhelmingly female

but most online communities are mostly male

It's it

males tend for anon platforms

females shine on social media

here is a question: if you have no way of knowing what someone's sex is, what sex do you default to online?

male

if the user doesn't correct you, how do you know you are correct?

before social media, there was NO incentive for women to be online

you are about to prove my point for me

I'm not saying there werent

I'm saying that overwhelmingly they were male

there was no incentive for them to be women online

the reverse

women always said they were women in the beginning

how do you know

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog

coz they always tried to get more power online

from BBSs to IRC

they still try the same in games, with some success

the classic joke is there are no women online. only men, men pretending to be women, and FBI agents pretending to be 13 yo girls

if there were a LOT of women, they would be competing between themselves

which they arent

they compete in social media, and thats pretty much it

even Youtube, that supposedly appeals to women, is mostly male

then you have twitch, you watch men if they are fun or good, you watch women for their looks

it really ruins the idea of equality, but they do it to themselves

so you think most women like being objectified?

most women would say "no" and lie

i was in a group. and only recently was a fairly sure the leader is actually female, although they refuse to post pics of themselves

I know where you were going from the start

they attracted two types of attention: thirst, and vindictiveness

that doesn't mean online it is full of females hiding as males

not all females like the former, none likes the latter

there is a difference between pretending to be male, and not telling someone you are female

there are lots of people i talked to online, who i have never ASK what sex they are

default is male

no reason to

you dont have to ask, after some time you will know

unless they are very deviant

i assume they are male, but they have never given a reason to tell me they are or are not.

you seem to have a low opinion of women

not all women are Anita
