>random political garbage
And if you go to Reddit you have to deal with the pervasive, astroturfed liberal/globohomo groupthink. The 'upvote' system is garbage UX that is easily gamed by shills and the incentive of upvotes, flairs, and 'reddit gold' combined with the disincentive of downvotes ultimately plunges the unwitting average user into a deep pool of ideological conformity. Posts that conform to the agenda are easily botted with upvotes. Dissenting opinions are not argued with freely as on here, but instead downvoted and reported for wrongthink to the mods (often bribed, ideologically matching, or the account sold to the highest bidder). It's a marketers wet dream, and for political propagandists it's pure heaven on earth. Consent is manufactured on an industrial scale.
4chan doesn't near suffer the same because it does not have user account metrics that can be gamed and wielded as a weapon against dissenters, it is just text and images. I am pretty sure that there are neural network powered bots that post on here, especially on /pol/ (I would not be surprised to find out Cambridge Analytica did it during the 2016 election) since the lack of account sign up and post history, as well as potential hostility, would be a good environment to train such networks on before deploying them on Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. But again, 4chan is not as easily gamed as Reddit so speech is freer and more akin to natural conversation on here.

>4chan in general, a gradual decline in quality since 2007
4chan was never good desu. It's always been shitty. But yes, quality has declined since the 2016 US elections and 2017/18 crypto bull market. Phone posters are also to blame, since the UX of phones tends to lead to shorter and lower quality replies. Also, summerfags can fuck off.

I can't remember seeing a chart like this before. Is no one concerned about the silence and lack of progress? If the network events were successful surely VC capital would flow into Curio and listing (at the least) would not be a problem. Dev said that once bug bounty is completed, the code will be sent for auditing. Who knows how long that will take? Given the circumstances without Rey taking his thumb out of his asshole and generating hype and interest I foresee a further slide in price, possibly back to where it was at around the start of August. The bots are in control and it would be in their benefit to do this. Capitulation and cheap tokens are attractive. Of course a tweet next week and Huobi listing would change everything haha.
