If this is some hack-ass pitch for /pol/ and how great it is, you're failing. If there's anyone there that knows what they're doing, they're drowned out in a sea of idiots. Plus, if you're going to play the "cuck" card, this conversation is over. I'm so tired of that shit.
>so tired of that shit >ugh, why am i cuck >screw this person's points, he thinks I am a cuck therefore his points are invalid >ugh pol makes me resent myself ok big boi
I'm in India at the moment, but I have lived in other timezones too. I must add that I'm not a regular there. I only go there when some promiment thread makes the nwes... like Tay, or Operation Google, or this. Other than that, my source for 4chan stuff is /r/4chan.
Does the poo in the loo deter indian originating posters?
I don't know what to say to that. By its nature, 4chan deters nearly everyone! Indians included [1].
I've been really surprised how influential /pol/ has been this election, which has been really weird and a little scary. It's not uncommon to post something on 4chan stating that you have inside information on events that are going to happen over the next few days (which is fiction 99.9% of the time). Posts like this in /pol/ have been getting screenshotted and spread elsewhere on the web, where alt-right conspiracy…
Indeed a couple of posts made in the last few months have been prescient of serious and highly secretive information. The motivation behind such posters is likely explained below. I think what a lot of people don't get about /pol/'s influence in the last year is it's mechanism. It is easy to browse the site as an outsider and think it is just shitposting 9000, with no real influence outside. However /pol/ unconscious…
Thanks for the edit I was reading this tired and the edit tied the post together
Posts linking their replies in the header has been a feature for a very, very long time. This doesn't have the negative impact you think it does. It's not a post rating system, and only trolls and candyasses pay attention to the number of replies on your post. There isn't any kind of long-term karma game like on other sites. 4chan is still content-heavy and shit posts are still looked down upon by the larger communit…
>Posts linking their replies in the header has been a feature for a very, very long time. Before, that was add-on/userscript feature. Since moot adopted them into 4chan's codebase, everyone has it. >only trolls and candyasses pay attention to the number of replies on your post Exactly. This feature encourages and rewards trolls and people who fish for replies. >There isn't any kind of long-term karma game like on oth…
After Hacker News, 4chan is the only non-specific community I enjoy, due to how it manages threads it's easy to sift past shitposts and find the good stuff. All of the problems you present aren't really representative of the actual 4chan experience. I'm sorry you haven't figured out how to make it work for you.
The best is Footnote 2: "For readers unfamiliar with memes, we suggest a review of the documentary available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ ."
"The uploader has not made this video available in your country." Germany is full of surprises so far.
Here is another link to the same documentary, though without the video:
