      I can’t even think of a meme that 4chan hasn’t come up with in the past decade (new racial slurs don’t count)

      Back in 2009 they were the bleeding edge for shitposts though

      Edit: am illiterate

          I got into it for a while about ten years ago and at the time a lot of their content was spilling over to other sites and they were equal parts brilliant, stupid, witty, retarded, open and bigoted. They were a source of a lot of internet chatter that got people talking.

          Now I go on once in a while to check in on them … and it feels like they’re stuck in the same rut and it’s the same group of weirdos trying to restart things that had already been done years ago. They’re not new anymore and they just sound like a broken recording playing the same thing over and over again. It was funny the first few times … now it’s just sad and stupid.

    Depends on what instance/community. For example,

    lemmygrad and Hexbear are a closed loop. They just trade shit back and forth.

    No one is in a line feeding one to the other … everyone is just in one giant hog pen where we keep picking up shit and flinging it at each other
