i remember i used to have a list of sites to visit daily for any new content, it was an everyday task that never grew tired of and on boring days i re-read old articles for fun but now every site became boring and too progressive. the only place i can visit often is Yea Forums but even here gets filled with furfags, trannies and blacked threads

Moot should've done us all a favor and shut this site down, but he had to jew his way out of this mess.

Likely because the content of any other site gets stolen and posted on those sites and then re-posted as if it originated on the 5.

This unfortunately. 2014 helped push it in that direction but it was more or less contained until the reddit rejects appeared en masse.

There are youtube videos of people reading Yea Forums posts on reddit

This is a boomer only board

Wasn't Yea Forums the 6th most visited site on the web a while back?

No it peaked at #56 during chanology.

Now I really want to multitask while some awful tts program reads every thread I click on to me.

It was here from the fucking start. Even before Yea Forums.

fucking discord, and fuck those trannies. I swear there is a correlation of having too much free time in hands and becoming a tranny. I remember when i was young and was too stupid to tell my parents i was bi and my dad told me that is because i have too much free time that i started to believe a lot of bullshit i read online. the following days he found me a part time job and since then i stopped thinking about it, my mind is more focused on more productive things, sure i have some spare time on weekends to shitpost on Yea Forums but they become more enjoyable

2001

Hobbies keep a man's mind dedicated and clean. A man with nothing on his mind becomes nothing.

They have a sub for literally everything. Yea Forums really isn't on their radar as a significant source of content. You guys talk about them a LOT more than they talk about you.

Allowing cell phones to access the internet was unironically a mistake.

>I swear there is a correlation of having too much free time in hands and becoming a tranny
This might actually be true. I also start thinking about that stuff and that usually prompts me to start doing things and then the feeling disappears until I enter another slump. Maybe it's the human body wanting easy stimulation and sees those things as an easy fix.

most websites favors the mobile design, but i hate browsing using mobile because is not the same comfiness of using the mouse

Or you know? Browsing with your phone just became a thing during the last 5 years.

This website becoming shit isn't as easy as muh phoneposters, my posting style doesn't magically change if I post from my phone, neither would it be better if the normalfags shitting up this place posted from their PC.

MGS2 is not unique you fucking faggots. It ripped off a bunch of books from the early-mid 20th century that predicted the same shit, right down to social media.

Sadly that’s the majority of userbase are now

>my posting style doesn't magically change if I post from my phone
Factually incorrect.

Yea Forums has been in the top 200 before, which is still obscenely popular, but hiro made a blogpost about how the unique nature of Yea Forums means that its alexa rankings typically do not reflect the true traffic of Yea Forums in the way it might other websites.

I'd be okay with this

Reminder the only true "oldfags" left on the net in the real sense are the people who made an "ate my balls" site in 7th grade. Personal favorite was "Barney ate my balls, part II." Picture of Barney with a bunch of retarded kids: "I'm back for the balls, you dumb douche bags." If you missed out on it, you missed the golden age of the internet.

Pure coincidence

Only vidya that did it at the time

>no more captain N or megaman screencap threads
>no more pokemon movie streams
those days are gone

>shill for a website getting bad rankings makes an excuse for why it's getting bad rankings
funny that works
no matter what way you slice it, the site is either ranked in the high hundreds globally, or in the low hundreds for just the US, making it not a mainstream source. I know pol blew a bunch of smoke up your ass in 2016, but this place is still a dark, dimly-lit dive, like it always should have been.

>Discord
please say you are lying, it would explain so much bullshit

They don't even have PCs. Phones are as big as tablets now and they do all of their recreational browsing on them, they might use a PC for work, that's the extent of it.

it's cumbersome and usually used in settings where your attention will frequently switch to work or some other business, leading to the massive uptick in template threads and bait posting, because all these retards seek are replies
they're honorary redditors, no better than scum

Thank you.

Now that we've identified the problem, how do we fix Yea Forums?

there is no new content because we just reach a creative exhaustion, we used to create a few that lasted for so long but not we can't come up with something without already getting stale

it's not even importing new content, it's just perpetual circlejerk of pepes and wojaks coming and going, like some sort of grey goo

Kill it.
Unless there is an incredible cultural shift not here, but worldwide regarding how the internet is used, it will only get worse as more and more people access it. The site needs to have a tenth of its current userbase to fix itself now.
Those are a problem, but you also see the large amount of things posted straight from Twitter, Reddit and Tumblr, right?
Not just "Uu, Uu, this guy posted something from da wrong website", because when you're posting something from another site that's relevant and has some kind of reason to add to an existing conversation, that's excusable.
Now, it's simply screencaps of people commenting on pictures on Tumblr. It's people importing forum drama wholesale that has the most tenuous connection to video games possible. It's absolutely braindead content being posted here, like 90% of Twitter's output. I'll admit that I laugh at it sometimes, but
>normal thing but BRIGHT RED, MAXIMUM CONTRAST, MAXIMUM ARTIFACTING, GLOWING EYES, 200% VOLUME
is still kind of braindead. It honestly feels something like that is popular just because it's such a sensory assault that it sticks out to deadened senses.

What happens when that becomes the norm, then?

I want to go back to the mid web 2.0 times of the Internet.

All of human culture is stealing from whoever was before you, but that's not what he's talking about. It's that unlike the internet beforehand, everything is extremely aggregated onto just a handful of sites.
Even with people's old, shitty Geocities pages they were made by the user and not just someone filling in fields and uploading a picture. Nothing was centralized beyond whether you could find it in google or not.

This. I remember mid 90s internet, it was a magical place.
Everything is lost now, I want to go back.

People didn't go online with their mobiles anywhere near as much as today. There was also less coverage so less opportunities to on the go. 2012 was a shite year for Yea Forums despite the lack of phoneposters though because shitposting imploded on itself and ruined every thread on Yea Forums.
