Is it just me or does /v/ have less comfy threads and effortposts than it did in the past? Also no passionate vidya communities either. The userbase just seems generally dumb and repulsive
>The userbase just seems generally dumb and repulsivethis is what happens when more indians show up over time
>>750565389I don't know where its come from, but the banal cynicism and sluggishness and mindless hostility to any genuine passion is truely enervating
>>750565174Misery loves company
All attention goes to goon and polposting. These threads always max out. Threads about underrated games, licensed games, games only played and so forth, drop down to page 10 so fast.
>>750565174Site's dying and we're left with bots and mongrels.
>>750565174Social media in general has gotten far worse, and /v/ is a reflection of that.Also bots. Fucking bots everywhere. /v/ is ALSO a reflection of that.
>>750565174Few who arrived will stay here for the rest of their lives and those who come after them will have grown up in increasingly less creative times
>>750565605Its not polposting its cynicism posting. Fuck off to leftypol
>>750565174Cat sex
there's little point to effort post
>>750565174I mean yeah that's what happens when the population of oldfags decrease and the population of browns and normalfags increase,
>>750565174It's upsetting because over text there's zero way for other anons to know that I'm being sincere, I think years of shitposts and trolling have made the board paranoid that everything is an insincere form of bait. And even if it is, there's nothing stopping you from ignoring it and responding to the good faith posters, the problem is that those posters are few and far between
>>750565174>The userbase just seems generally dumb and repulsiveImplementation of (You)s and removing the ip counter really tanked all engagement on the site. Everybody is trying to endlessly bait each other to get the sweet sweet (You)s, even if it inevitably turns into two retards calling each other brown/tranny/shill
>>750565174Try to say anything positively, or engage with any sincere interest, of any game that isn't at least several decades old. And the thread will just be swarmed with accusations of you and any similar minded anons just being absolute shills and or paid retards. While they instead swarm the threads with unending barrages of shitposts shitting all over said game(s). And if there isn't enough legitimate criticisms to give? Then a lot of the shitposts will just be straight up lies. But it doesn't change anything. Pointing out the lies will just have you be accused of being a shill or a bot. I am here forever but I am not surprised that sincere engagement has gone down.
