Surely the infinete flow of images and shocking content can't be too good for our moneky brain? How does it compare to more conservative forms of entertainment, like watching a TV or reading an article?

You must be newfags if you really can't detect how /pol/ invading everything else made this place boring as fuck. It's easier to bait than ever, the replies are always predictable like clocks. I used to get routinely surprised by unexpected stuff I saw here, nowadays everyone is mostly a clone of eachother. Boring.

>I was more wondering if browsing imageboards full of lewd shit and supernormal stimulus causes neurological change that is detrimental in real life
as in being a sperg and not being able to restrain yourself from socially turbulent behavior and expression? 4chan may influence the perception of terminal spergs but i dont think 4chan influences terminal spergs to blatantly sperg out in social settings, i think that's something that's gonna happen regardless of external influence.

Of course I understood it, but it was meme BECAUSE it was actually true, /b/ was NEVER good (apart from the raid threads), so I wasn't going to answer with a lie saying that it WAS good.

However, I wanted to answer regardless because I think my criticism is valid.

You're the one that thinks using the >we means that I assume we are some kind of team. Yu're not understanding that that's exactly what I am criticising: that the people now act like they are all in the same team against the jews/gays/niggers/liberals whatever. There used to be way higher sense of individualism and free thought, now everyone either conforms to the hilariously dumb views iconic of this place or they simply get flamed and ignored. No one is able to question themselves anymore. Chuds are so eager to distrust the jew media but are always too eager to trust absurdly pathetic idiots propagating completely ridiculous conspiracy theories without giving it any second thought.

It depends on how you use it. If all you do is post frogs and soijaks then yeah it's obviously damaging your brain (more than it already is).
I've received nothing but good things from 4chan and it helped a lot with my social life. Learn how to set up filters, stop posting frogs and inside ""jokes"", avoid bait threads and you'll be fine.

Are we using the same website? There is no other place on the internet where people can talk about edgy stuff.

Even /pol/ isn't "very defined", yeah we have a collection of nazis, they're also a minority. Given that you went through the effort of latexing in a reddit joke, you're either a newfag or a shill.

Pointing to some websites with a thousandth of the traction of a single big 4chan board isn't very satisfying.

Even edgy zoomers don't even care about 4chan much. Every generation just cares about whatever they grew up with, and they have their polished corporate websites and Snapchat.
I remember that 8-10 year old comic, where some kids ask their grandpa what this strange web 1.0 looking website about Tibetan yak herding website is, and him remembering all the times he spent on there, in decades past, checking out with a "see you, space cowboy".

4chan will always stay with us, till the day we die.

Calling you all incel chuds and fags and niggers and retarded pieces of shit, while also telling you to kys constantly has ironically enough benefited my mental health. It's a good outlet for my high t male aggression, and my IRL relationships have actually improved since I came back to 4klan a year ago. Originally I used it to cope with homo fash faggot Cuomo's draconian lockdowns but now that that moron is out and lockdowns are waning, I will continue using this shithole to abuse all you pathetic beta incel larping pseuds.

I can’t say it’s a direct result of 4chan, but I find my mental state is more critical and skeptical. No matter what people say here, there’s always people who are free to say otherwise without censorship. At a certain point you don’t know who to believe, and that effects how I see “experts.” But I also find that I get way too caught up in what is the “standard” or what’s “accepted.” Like I can’t just start reading about a topic - I need to address some stupid ass chart and follow the steps. So I also feel less adaptable since what I do needs to be planned out and given nods of approval from strangers. And the endless scrolling has wrecked havoc on my attention span.

There's definitely been a brain drain attributable to /pol/ annexation of boards with topics broad enough to have political aperture, and of inspired shitposters as well. Though there are other reasons they abandon this place out of disgust, or simply contribute ever less while vainly scrolling for something, anything, surprising--or at least grotesque enough to amuse. The proliferation of smartphones first made the demography of the internet as a whole dumber and less exclusive, and then social media made it dumber still, then troll brigades and assorted influencers gave it brain cancer. It is turning into the lowest-common-denominator potato that mass media always do once widely adopted.

Insults are actually insulting. Buzzwords are markers designed to signal to peers and immediately demonstrate to outsiders you're a sheep not worth arguing with. The two are very different things.

You will only get attention, perticularly positive attention for making certain types of posts. 4chan may be less extreme in its personality warping than say leddit but without social enforcement of norms you don't have a community.

when there is no careful censorship, certain kinds of discourses are possible and others don't survive scrutiny

nowadays censorship is extremely pervasive ad follows a very concrete mainstream narrative that doesn't survive here, that's why you are noticing a big difference on what is normal and what isn't, and what people can express that they can't usually express is especially prevalent
