There’s some holdovers, but it’s not as much as it used to be. This user is right
At what point did you realise that this board is inherently anti-intellectual and utterly worthless

Can kind of agree, but I do bellieve that at specific points during the day it gets better. I find 12:00 at night eastern standard time is usually pretty comfy, probably because all the contrarians are in bed.

I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE FORFUCKINGEVER
really more like 6 or so years, Yea Forums since '09.
The nature of the boards and the site have fundamentally changed. Part of it is possibly due to our increasing age.
I still find people who know their shit, who can challenge me or who I can challenge and have a fruitful discussion with, but it has to be with specific intention. Everything is heavily turfed and botted and flamed and spammed. Everything has moved toward such extremes, and the influx of raw numbers has not had a positive effect on discourse.
That, and the standard of critique in this board has degraded. Good feedback on work I post is difficult to find. Things move faster, are forgotten more quickly. I feel all the world is moving in this direction, however my corner of the world is largely digital or hyperlocal, which certainly biases my understanding.
I'm sure there's some perfect, bucolic board somewhere, and some little literary colony I can find. Maybe I should just fucking suck it up, take the GRE and go to Uni, bury myself in what is clearly my life direction, and die happily in debt.
All this being said, I still get a great bit every now and again, love people calling authors and brilliant artists fucking mongoloids with flippance, and I find great reading material on here occasionally.
There are still reasons to be here. Even the most horrid of namefags, who I loved, have fled or died, though. You're alright, butterfly. I don't know why you do what you do, but you're keeping some thread of history/consciousness on this board alive.
