I think it's been like this for two years. It does feel a lot faster compared to around 2014 though

Personally I don't see it as a bad thing. I'm glad zoomers are interested in learning and more people want to read literature and philosophy :^)

This mostly. Ironic that a year or two ago when we had half a dozen Peterson and Evola threads at any given time the board was overall in a better state and you could easily filter most of the shit. Now you have vedditors, poledditors, random 9gag-esque edgelords and ebin underage trolles being retarded in every other thread.

it's grown a lot in the last 18 months. threads 404 way faster.. after 6 hours now. i remember it taking them a few days at least

/trv/ moves faster too. i think a few days now to 404 and used to be a week+

and just casually reading /lit/ i see a lot more shitposting. i blame reddit memes for making 4chan popular in general. 14 year olds greentext with their million followers. it's popular culture.

>> No.12354706

>>12354685
Yeah it seems to be mostly low effort posters coming over from /mu/ and other boards. The frequency of "What is the book version of ____?" and "Should I read this?" threads has increased by a fucking thousand. And every thread has a mandatory first twenty posts of lowest-effort, Reddit style, most obvious shitpost/joke posting.

I don't mind shitposting or board culture at all if it has any fucking effort behind it but the white noise on the board has gone way up. I have a theory that the younger you are, the more likely you are to visualize 4chan as a generic social media site where you have to shout to be heard and most people are simply disconnectedly shouting low effort "I know this meme XDDD I'll participate in this meme too" into the void, with no expectation of response or dialogue. They're "commenting" on things, not talking.
