-Too many weird coomers floating around, not a big fan of coom art, most just do it for the money and it's obvious.
-Offsite drama mostly from Discord that spills onto here
-Loli general became a thing. I actually saw a few of them discussing how to get child porn/post child porn on Discord before quickly deleting. This explains the uptake in glowies around here incase anybody is wondering, the allowance of lsg.
-Actual annoying schizos
-People who shitpost even though it's an incredibly slow board.
-Recognizable autists like Gabe who make 2 threads a day asking the same questions
-Lack of community, Discord filtered people away and groups broke apart or private groups formed keeping everybody fairly separate. I don't mind people having their separate servers but everybody wanting their private club is what killed a lot of the greater community aspects of /ic/.
I don't think it's a stretch to say that /ic/ has gotten much worse over the years, it used to be bad but not this bad. A lot of weird schizos in the ether are lowering the quality of the board and also offsite. Removing lsg, removing annoying schizos and weird autistic offsite drama would go a long way in actually making this place good.
To be honest it feels like 4chan is dying as a whole. Even in offsite groups I used to see new people regularly joining in hoping to take up art and improve or just people who had already been drawing a while wanting to post but in the last year or so I have not seen many new faces that stuck around to post.
So we're stuck in essentially a dead slow board kept on life support by autists, schizos and pedophiles which in turn could be turning away actually (relatively) cooler people and better artists.
