because these sites are the important ones. No one gives a shit about anything that's not on Facebook, Twitter, Tinder, Instagram or YouTube. It's as easy as that. If all of these normies would be browsing /r9k/ it would a part of what's considered important.

Do you seriously think news sites or society in general would give a flying fuck about what is posted on this board or on literally any other site that's not FTTIY? If literally half the people on the planet use these sites they are considered important by new sites because they generate traffic and most people will be able to connect with it in a way. Society thinks of the internet as the big sites. Everything that is not a part of FTTIY is not considered "the internet" by normies.

It actually is tho just add a few more pages.
Any website I used to visit has been dead for a decade and any website I find has stopped updating years ago.
The only site left from my childhood is this board games and chat site which has a whopping 20 people at peak time

Our whole society is retarded but nothing's gonna change. 4chan is way beyond it's glory days and other chans won't make a difference. It sure is retarded but nothing is gonna change as long as people are not gonna change. And they won't. You are like me and pretty much everyone else here a social outcast that most likely can't connect to society in any way and whom's opinion is not conforming with society's point of view.
But it's nothing new that people are retarded and will stay retarded for the rest of time.
