How much traffic would 4chan lose if there were no porn boards?
a bit.
If it wasn't for /s/, I wouldn't have been here.
50%

The porn boards are fucking useless the only ones that are somewhat active are /gif/, /d/, /aco/.
>>418186
Almost 50% of it if you count /b/ as a porn board.
I never use any of the porn boards.

I only use them every other day at the most on average. And usually only for 10-15 minutes. Yeah, it feels good, but I'd honestly rather be doing something other than jerking off most of the time. Porn is probably the most overrated thing on 4chan, yet people won't shut up about how great it is. Almost nobody actually cares about how much you want to have sex with some girl/anime girl, and by talking about it all the time, you only make yourself look like a hopeless porn or sex addict. People need to stop posting sexy-girl-in-sexually-provocative-positions, and shut up. Just like gore, it doesn't help 95% of intelligent discussion in any constructive way. Those idiots look just as bad a feminists that complain about an attractive girl just sitting on a bench. If anyone on 4chan needs to grow up, it's the people that want teenage-level themes and discussion everywhere.

I have my reasons why I dislike lewdposters on blue boards. I believe they are more likely to shitpost and troll due to the fact that posting things related to sex gain our attention easily (it's only natural), thus making it easier to get replies. I think they are the most immature people on 4chan because they use these types of images and discussion to gain easy replies to their threads. It's something almost everyone has some level of interest in, so most people can join in on the conversation with little effort or thinking. Easy replies. This is exactly what trolls want. And as I said before, it adds nothing of actual value to any discussion outside of, well, just talking about sex/masturbation. There are boards for that. The rules are in place both to keep the website organized and keep as many as people as possible happy at once. Organization to have what you want, when you want it, and to not be bothered by a subject that isn't needed or wanted at the time.
/hc/ didn't always exist and /h/ is pretty slow so it'd probably be okay.
If you include /b/ we're doomed.

/b/ is practically a porn board to the average browser on 4chan.
