Why has 4chan become so serious within the last couple of years? Nobody can post a joke without being told to go to reddit. Mods can't make a sticky without it being destroyed by people that can't hide it. A new board gets created and all people on this can think about is how they're going to destroy it. Even moot left because he was sick of what this site has become.
It's been like that for at least five years

It's from the fear of being like Reddit, so now everyone tries to make 4chan as awful as possible.

And it sucks. It makes this site unfun.

Is there a reason why 4chan is afraid of becoming reddit?
moderators drove out all the fun people, it has nothing to do with plebbit
>>29221470
when the internet got serious. The internet used to be fun and games, but now it's crucial for so many things. Politics, dating, the job market, even drugs are becoming an internet commodity

Reddit is cancer. And i say this as a casual reddit user

Have you ever been to reddit? It's all designed so people can become ecelebrities and opinions can be silenced. If you disagree with something you just go to a circle where everyone has the same opinion. Also the mods are public figures which means you get endless whining whenever they do anything remotely controversial.

But why did 4chan change? Those types of things were always on the Internet, but 4chan always remained that fun site to talk about alternative hobbies.

So 4chan doesn't want to be like reddit because reddit is cancer? Seems like 4chan is doing a great job at being like reddit then.

Sounds like you're parroting /pol/'s opinions on reddit.
>can't tell a joke without someone going "reddit"
true. also people act very insecure now over the internet. if you trigger them they respond to you then pretend they weren't triggered.

It's common on every subreddit to do with literally anything. I browse the site occasionally because it can be good for news but never post because when a thread is a few hours old nobody will even see your reply.

/pol/'s right again. What a surprise
>>29221768
Haha okay anon ^__^

I agree friend. Let's have some good-natured fun that doesn't exclude any marginalized groups. Here is a funny cat photograph. Is he high... or WHAT!? :D
