I can't stand this board anymore. This place is the only board I've ever posted in and cared about for years. I wouldn't mind the political discussion if it was kept to a minimum and different political positions were expressed. It's always constant /pol/ posting and politicization of everything. Slowly and surely every post is turning into a "based CHRISTIANS", "bluepilled normies" or "cringe" or some other inane non-content reply that means nothing, to a crowd of others who expect nothing. Books are evaluated by how they conform to some inexplainable, vague set of values everyone shares but me. I think it's time for me to quit /lit/ and move on to some of the smaller sites which haven't been touched by the political miasma choking most of the internet.

Whatever I was once attracted here by is gone, either from me or the board, so it's time I moved on rather than dragging my feet and succumbing to the inertia of habit. I'm not sure if this storm will ever blow over, or what will be left after it does, but either way I've had enough of it. Goodbye /lit/

my recommendation to you anon would be to post like you are talking to normal people and not worry about conforming to the memespeak of calling everything "based" or "cringe" whatever. that stuff comes and goes. everything used to be called "pleb" or "patrician" and that has passed. so to will the current memespeak. if you just started posting like a normal human being, others would also start to feel more comfortable doing so and we could move this board away from its moronic habits.

It's fucking appealing how few people there are on this board who actually post about books they've read. I checked - out of 150 threads on the catalog, only about 30 (and that was me being generous) had an OP actually relating to a specific work of literature.
Maybe if more people went out of their way to make threads that weren't just open-ended questions ("what are some books?") this place would be in better shape. There are some genuinely well-read people on this board, but they never start threads. Too many OPs treat /lit/ like it's "intellectual /b/."
If the mods and jannies actually gave a shit about this board, there wouldn't be any problems. "Just talk about books" is a pretty fucking simple rule, but there's no one to enforce it.

>> No.15577880

>>15577467
I feel the same. Here are still a minority of the people that once made this place better but eh. Its more to do with the times than with the "miasma". What someone wrote is handwaved away by what they did rather than on the merit of the work. Being a racist automatically makes someone a hack whether or not their work was genre defining and that is something thats everywhere. Most discussions on here usually devolve into "youre probably so and so and do such and such things therefore your point is invalid". That is the reality of the times we live in and you cant escape it the "miasma" is a symptom of it not the problem.

Ironically, /lit/ has pushed me towards reading more in recent years. There are fewer and fewer insightful and interesting posts here, whereas political baiting seems to be more prevalent. It all contributes to me browsing less and less every week, trading that time for reading. However, the same shift into mental midget tier discourse is happening on every board.

To anyone, except the Facebook boomers who enjoy reveling in their echo chamber of stupidity, I suggest spending less time on this site. Don't waste your energy discussing literature here and join a book club in real life instead.

What's really depressing for me is that I find it really hard to discuss books irl. A friend texted me a couple weeks ago asking what book I was reading and I gave him a big response talking about the premise and how much I liked it, but then I got left on read and he never gave me a reply back. I find a lot of my conversations about books happen similarly. People will talk about what book they read and say something like 'yeah it was interesting' or 'i thought it was kind of boring at parts but i like it' and never elaborate any further.

If you want creative freedom in this world, you need to find places that economics and politics haven't found a way to exploit yet. During the golden era of the internet, between 2000-2010, this was largely the case: what you wrote and who you talked to didn't matter, people made and shared incredible things because they loved to do it, not because it gave ad revenue. Development on the internet was highly dynamic and experimental, in contrast to the present situation where a few titanic entities control most of the internet people use. The internet started to matter for politics in 2008, and after that it was over. 4chan has been completely normalized, it is a propaganda machine no different than reddit or social media.

>It's always constant /pol/ posting and politicization of everything.
Dear OP, (almost) everything is political and has always been. It has just gotten more obvious and people are reacting or fighting to/about it. If you want to waste your time somewhere else, do it. Go and read the old archives of /lit/. It was shit and boring, full of attention-seeking tripfags. Today there are less discussions about specific books than in 2013-2015 and there are two reasons:
a) /his/ is just one click away
b) many have read a lot of the recommended books and why would I want to discuss the same *insert top100 /lit/chart book* every week? The discussions are usually rather repetitive ("Is War & Peace worth reading it?") and frankly I don't have anything to say about War & Peace, that would be worth writing it. Even though I really like the book. The problem is btw not, that someone is asking a mundane question, but rather, that the people who have read the books have no interest to discuss them at all anymore. The only good dicsussion about a fiction book was an old one in 2015/16 about Catcher in the Rye, where a few anon explained the 'Holden rapes Phoebe/is a pedo' meme explained. All Kaczynski threads are shit, since they are only for crusading "he was right" or "Linkola was better" without discussing deeper about his concepts.
Oh and discussions about books outside of the top200/well known range usually get no or few replies.
>>15562997 lead to >>15558698 and is an exception and could have been posted in /his/ as well.
Besides /lit/ is quite decent at the moment. When I look at the catalog almost everything is relevant to literature: authors, books, publishing, with the exception of >>15567438.
It has been much worse in 2016/17 when "the art of the deal" or Donald Trump had at least ten threads. Do you expect to have great insights whenever you read something on /lit/? 4chan is social media, not a magazine with exclusive well written essays.
Don't get me wrong, everybody who wants to leave should leave. You won't make /lit/ better by crying for attention when leaving and then staying in the end.

You can hide tripfags with 4chanX

Reddit is too autistic is the problem. It has the opposite problem as here. /lit/ is filled with too much off topic shit, but Reddit is autistically 100% on topic otherwise the thread gets deleted.

I agree that too much off-topic stuff isn't good, but being super serious all the time is boring. old /lit/ was the perfect balance. Since you had a good amount of serious discussions, but people could have their fun as well.

Newfags, before you post something retarded and moan about muh /pol/, read every word of this post, read the archives and see for yourself.

This. And also people just don't want to post their opinion on Crime and Punishment for the trillionth time so they just ignore these kinds of threads. And literature as an artform doesn't have the next big thing to post about each month like /v/ has a videogame or /tv/ a movie or show.

Funny how you accuse people of cherrypicking when we have the crime statistics and IQ tests on our side.
