General Question: does just reading 4chan for longer than 10-15 minutes make anyone feel awful and almost as if placed into a trance state? I can browse other sites for long periods of time without any ill effects, but if I stay too long on 4chan I begin to feel decidedly sick. Why does this happen?

Things are different. The sky does not have its usual yellow warmth anymore. The experienced fabric of the world also feels less real.

i think OP is a fagot, if you know how to use 4chan you will realise you use it in 2 ways:
1. posting mode
if you want to be part of a disscusin to get the (you)s, you have to go to the catalog and look at 2 things: the title and image, if they are good quality, you enter the thread. then you have to look at how long the tread is, and calculate how long you think the thread will stay up. and look at the post(look fast trhought the post, do not read theme), if the post are thick and other things, that seems like a good thread. then go and talk in the tread. or if it is a image generating thread, just look at it, and judge if it is a good place to post. and then post.
2. lurk mode
if you are just lurking and just want to see good opinion, then you go to the FUCKING archive and use the search function there.

like, it is obious. op is a newfagot and dose not now shit. i hate 3rd worlders so much. plz kill your selfe.

yes, shilling has allways existed. nothing new. the "boomer monster drink", was 100% obious shill from jew company. the 3 r in monster drink if hebrew letter for 6, so it is 666. so we know… that monster drink company is shilling on 4chan. and monster drink company is associated with hebrew speaking people. of shit! i think i have found a offical connection here guys…

and yes, shilling was a thing on internet forums, all the way back to the 90s on e-mails, were people were pretending to be inocent and did not know anything and you should do X.

Hell, even these alt-chans are almost certainly monitored in some way, shape or form.

the shills are using advanced techniques to bypass people's bullshit filter and attack their state of mind. They false flag themselves as friends, they make the user give an initial cognitive investment and then burn them, they repurpose their well poisoning as authentic, they spam attack visual memes to unconsciously hurt the person's worldview. Electronics always put people into more sedate brainwave states and that's why social media is so powerful, nowadays you can't even relax in your digital community pub because of these parasites.

The day will come for ukraine and mill psyops however. We know who they are and there's a black mark on their back for retribution once we rise above…

I think the key is to subconsciously condition yourself to hate anything coming from liberals a priori so they cannot change the mental channel. I was vaguely distracting myself from full focus on the chans with music and visualizing sharty memes of acking and the like to get to that level. Also slowly associating certain opfor memes or phrases with instant rejection to lower the cognitive load going on. Now my mind instantly defaults to a defensive state in advance of the information being provided.

We are in a war. A 4th generation or higher one where the enemy is trying to place mental constructs and scripts in our head to control what we think before we act. You wouldn't trust a hostile tribe in the field of battle, so why do you trust a sociopath presenting with misleading signals today? Reframe your mind to become defensive and energetic, it is a very spiritual thing

 No.315476

That is by design. After the 2016 election, 4chan became a huge target for three-letter agencies and "anti-hate" NGOs. They have several strategies they employ to disrupt the place, but the most used one - and arguably the most effective - is simply making the boards unbearable to browse. Hiroshigook seems to be aware of this and is implementing some measures to prevent bad actors from trashing the boards.

the imageboard scene became right wing because that's what happened to the target demographic. It's almost universal at this point, I can go to /lit/ and it's the same dudes who post about hardcore ideology on politics. The only real gradient is like softcore libertarians versus hardcore nationalists. It's a reflection of broader social trends to the right that people buy this product

Any place that allows unbiased discussion will inevitably become populated by right wingers on account of the fact that right wing ideas are the most popular, especially among those who enjoy conversing and engaging within a community. The prevalence of right wing talking points is organic. It is the left-leaning people who must maintain their majority on any site through strict rules and witch-hunting.
>retards like you that are pushing everyone away from these imageboard sites
>everyone
No, the only people who won't engage with an openly right wing community are radical leftists who can't bear to be outside of their bubbles and echo chambers. No imageboard wants those types of people.

Okay, so not by YOUR unique definition of crap. But objectively the amount of spam and rapid shitflinging has gone down.

Remember that samefagging was also a huge issue so any idiot with an obscure VPN could pretend to be an entire thread's worth of disagreeing parties. Email and wait times drastically reduces these losers' influence.

The quantitative difference on pol is phenomenal. Before the spam and targeted demoralization was so massive many people were starting to question whether the site had a future. Now it is full of maga campaign people and has nearly as much energy as 2016. I actually wonder if someone paid hiro to outright ball and chain the spammers because the job was so thoroughly done

chart doesn't designate the number of targeted attack shit threads that were being spammed in the catalog. It has gone down significantly, before I would go through 4-5 different blatant demoralization attacks just to check out the catalog. Now it's like 1 or 2, generally ineffective as well since the jannies seem to be aggressively anchoring that kind of crap.

Your image shows a sharp drop and clear downtrend from July till now. Considering that we're a few days away from the election, which is /pol/'s 4-year peak in post rate, and the posts/day amount is the same as back in May, I'd say that's clear indication that the post rate was being inflated by bad actors and is now organic. Considering the context, your image is proof that the anti-spam system was effective

It's depressing to me how it's possible to waste your life for so many years before becoming aware of it. I've been so used to browsing imageboards every day that I was blind to the obvious possibility of doing something else instead of impotently complaining about how low the quality dropped. Most people go their life without even knowing about imageboards and they didn't miss out on anything.

Imageboards don't create an environment for high quality discussion: Humans are lazy so barriers have to be created to push people to be better and filter those who can't. The 0 barrier to posting and anonymity means that every idiot can post the first thing that enters their mind. Expecting people to have the decency to control themselves while being anonymous is very naive. Occasionally good posters find their way into imageboards but rarely do they write anything you couldn't have read anywhere else without suffering braindead posts first.

I think the decline is that when millennials aged out zoomers went to other social media. So there wasn't a bulge population of newfrens to keep the thing going. It's the same reason why 8 and wiz are in relative decline as well, not enough fresh blood producing basic informational content. Imageboards could end up like BBS.

4chan is arguably among the worst forms of value added content in conversation. You can make the most elaborate op in the world and on most of these boards you're getting a complete crapshot of whatever comes out in terms of returning value. And at the same time people will incrementally act more and more like disruptive jackasses for the hell of it. Which means on most of these boards you're still better off talking to a reputation based community like reddit. Sad but true. The only value on 4chan is seeking out the rare 80th percentile of value-added posters who actually know a great deal on subjects, and just happen to piddle off information here and there like gold nuggets in the rough. So just use the archives and search your keyphrases. Don't actually talk to them for more than briefly, that's a negative investment for returns. And don't browse for more than 30-40 minutes a day, because the catalog is just as bad. You might get a general sense of what's happened in the day or on social media skimming them. You won't learn specifically much of anything
