[_] What's going on with /wsg/? Anonymous 01/14/21(Thu)22:14:04 No.

  Okay so i am going to ask this on here because this seems only place on this damned chan that
  isn't completely bonkers. I sometimes visit /wsg/ to find similar content to as on /f/. I used to
  check (for example) the /ylyl/ threads there but now something seriously bizarre is going on with
  them? Like some sort of third party is trying to force unfunny content constantly. Kinda reminds
  me when /f/ was spammed with zeitgeist. Are there some sort of circlejerk discords or something
  that are dedicated to just shitting on boards now? I honestly don't get it at all. Or are there
  just so high concentration of kids?

  I migrated from /wsg/, the only great threads full of OC still there are the Gondola ones. The
  rest is only getting worse.

  the saying used to be that 4chan was immune to invasions because you'd be pissing in an ocean of
  piss but these days with all the new boards, and the thinning of /b/, it's just not very true any
  more

  i'm not familiar enough with /wsg/ to tell whether or not it's being invaded (by people or bots),
  it could be that webm creation has become too easy so that too many normies have started being
  able to post their unfunny crap

  Almost for sure this is what it is and is why /f/ remains good to this day. Flash is a natural
  gatekeeper. It's a beautiful thing.

  You weren't kidding about content similar to /f/:
  >>>/wsg/3755002

  It's like a poor man's flash loop. 5 times larger file size and no seamless repeating music.
  And no possibility for interactivity or scripted variation. Also no music sauce or other info
  below the visuals.

  And now after Flash was shut down it became even more normie-filtered.

  This is what puts /f/ unconditionally above /wsg/, the mere ability to [G]

  Thanks Doc

  I think it's either shills, though on /wsg/ would not be prime target like /pol/ or /v/, or maybe
  users just got worse over time.
  Like nobody even has a PC anymore to make funny shit on. You can do only so much on your way to
  school with a smartphone. Kids have the attention span of an ant and are lazy as fuck.
  I guess everyone just forgot that somebody has to create that lol funny meme image in his free
  time with a good amount of skill.
  If 100% of users are lurking phoneposters, then yeah the board will be fucked.
  That's what's good about /f/. You HAVE to have skill and setup to create a swf. That's also the
  reason why there is so little OC since ever and the repost rate is skyhigh.

  Mods like swaglord recruit kids to visit 4chan through facebook meme pages. I'm sure they all
  think it's hilarious to spam seared bite or whatever, and are coordinating in a chat room. The
  things I've seen spammed are just too boring to be the work of one autist.
  I don't know how the internet works anymore but I assume even on generic social media pages for
  memes, there are moderators who remove repetitive or spammed things. For most kids who discover
  4chan for the first time, the immediate impulse is to take advantage of the lax moderation and
  ruin the board for everyone else. And then the next wave comes in, sees the garbage being posted,
  and then try to go even lower. Since the internet has moved on from macros to videos, /wsg/ is a
  portal now for kids to post lame meme crap that would get buried or removed on other websites.

  I think you're underselling ants. Seriously, go outside and watch them bringing a dead
  grasshopper or something back to their nest sometime, they're dedicated.

  there were sound threads on /wsg/ with simple gif and a filename with a url to an audio file
  uploaded to some server but you had to install an extension

  https://desuarchive.org/wsg/thread/3439066/#3439066

  it doesn't work there but it certainly worked on 4chan
