Sup Forums Clickbait Central

Why is every thread on Sup Forums clickbait now, fuck.

Why do you guys keep responding to such threads?

Because I'm bored at work. It's more of a reflex, if anything. Nothing beats honing your arguments through responding to obvious bait.

Nothing's happening anyway, goy

has been like this as far as i can remember.
8ch is turning into the same shit.
Sup Forums seems to be dead everywhere actually… it's gone (((mainstream))).

>It's more of a reflex, if anything.
Yeah. I find it physically straining to not click a clickbait thread. Shit is potent.

The solution would be to just not come to Sup Forums... but I don't want to do that either.

I think it's a lot of literal newfaggots who just can't tell what's bait and what's not. And a bunch of more who get off on it. It's unfair really, this level of bait doesn't exist on any other fucking board. And off-topic shit posting. Why can't we have a board to discuss these topics? I don't mind a bit of fun but people treat it like it's their own personal no-topic garbage dump.

Everyone complains about Sup Forums being crappy because opinions they don't like but they don't realize Sup Forums is more full of people with contrarian opinion just to piss off other people.

Arguments boost testosterone, making you feel good, making you healthier, and boosting sexual performance.

So I'm not saying I'm masturbating right now... but I could begin masturbating at any moment.

Then you have shit like this where Sup Forums can't check the fucking catalog before making 40 of the exact same bait thread. That's how you can tell how many faggots come to this board just to post bait.

You need to discern more. When OP posts a picture from Occupy Democrats with

>Well, Sup Forums?

>Consershits well defend this

>Sup Forums BTFO!

>APOLOGIZE!

Don't fucking respond. You're just rewarding shitty behavior and inviting more of it. If you want an argument or discussion, this isn't the way to get it. OP's not interested in discussing, he's just jerking off to how many people reply to his dumb ass.

(((they're))) trying to bruteforce us into irrelevance, plus this fucking germanic level of newfag immigration

We just need a new happening. The Trump campaign carried us on for so long. When Romney lost we would have spent this time combing through all databases compiling evidence of fraud. But instead we won.

I bet you're a white guy

It used to be conventional wisdom that Correct The Record was doing the shilling. But now that the election is dead and gone there's still an incredibly huge number of clickbaity bullshit. This points to an outside party that is not just trying to accomplish a short-term goal like concern trolling an election, but an entity that is trying to run /pol into the ground through diluting any worthwhile content.
It's not for shekels, it's to deprive Sup Forumslacks of a home to manufacture more redpilled citizens.

Yeah the election obviously brought people in. I came here first during the election last time, I've been on Sup Forums like once before but I was without Internet for like 8 months and in November/December remembered we had a politics board I forgot about. I'm only saying that I came from the other parts of Sup Forums.

The problem we have now is people coming THAT SITE and other places who seem to have no idea how Sup Forums even works, both technically (not checking the catalog and how to delete posts etc) and culturally (replying to shit they shouldn't or not understanding the board's topic and making off topic stuff). It's like Sup Forums is this generation's Sup Forums.

Going back to the THAT SITE thing, Sup Forums really fucked up here. I've never been there and don't have an account there. I've always hated it, so has old school Sup Forums. But these faggots seem to think "go back to [THAT SITE]" is a funny maymay and don't realize we're serious. They post links back to the site and links there to come here apparently.

We need to destroy that fucking bridge. They keep rationalizing it saying they are "red pilling people"... No, you're just dragging people into this site who aren't invested in it and make it shittier for everyone else.

>now

It doesn't have to be that complicated. It's more than likely a bunch of bored 19 year old faggots.

"real" conversations are still about shit like "ermagerd Trump has betrayed you, he's not going to exterminate jews like he promised" so I dont' really find real convos more fulfilling than fake ones.

Romney was never anything like Trump. His popularity is more comparable to Bernie's on pol, if that.

There is no major news.

This is a real issue guys. Not every off topic thread is a slide thread. It is only a slide thread if it is being used to force big news off the front page. Idiots talking to idiots is not intentional sliding.

Merry christmas guys.

Yeah, or (You) farmers have learned from those weapons grade clickbait sites. They even follow the same formula. Only a couple tries can net you a sweet sweet 300+ post thread

I don't think they were quite so honed before.

Coild be ad campaigns too. Sup Forums is just advertising now. Remember that anti coffee campaign? A couple of threads also had pictures of monster energy drinks at the same time. Im betting that was an ad campaign. Probably to test how it would go over on Sup Forums.

>"real" conversations are still about shit like "ermagerd Trump has betrayed you, he's not going to exterminate jews like he promised" so I dont' really find real convos more fulfilling than fake ones.

I kek'd. I'm sick of this shit already. It went from pretending to be mad at Trump's words to be pretending to be made at him changing positions on positions he never had.

>You can't vote for Trump, he's literally Hitler! You're not a Nazi are you?

>Why aren't you mad that Trump isn't being Hitler? You're a Nazi aren't you?

Bait. Bait never changes.

I also think right now it's because the college break is here. The shitposting follows American college students schedules. During the day, when people are busy in class, it's not as bad, but at night, between 8pm-4am it's just nothing but bait and shitposting.

19 year old college fag is dont for the day and comes here and shitposts until he goes to bed. The shitposting revs up all day in the times where students are off.

Youth is wasted on the young.

STOP IT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

AWOO AWOO AWOO

Exactly. They realized what works. We have the literal same exact thread like every single day and people don't seem to lurk long enough to realize it.

Then they post the same threads on /r9k/ too. So you can tell it's just someone spamming for yous and replies. And user's admit to such on other boards and in other places. They admit to actively making this site a shittier place for everyone involved.

All it does is encourage them. Stop it.

I just report all such threads. The most egregious usually do get deleted pretty quickly. Never, ever respond.

If you want interesting discussion, create a good thread yourself.

this is Sup Forums, not your personal safe space OP

How do you sage?

Such threads literally are violating the rules for this board, so reporting them is fine.

In all seriousness, leftists can organize and raid too. They want this board and are doing their best to get it by sheer dominance--creating more threads, derailing existing ones, and driving serious posters away through clickbait slide garbage.

Sure, there are some trolls and idiot teenagers who just like fucking around, but post-election there is a concentration of leftie types trying to take this place over.

One thread is as good as another to talk about immigration and jews destroying western civilization.

Case in point.

Seriously. At least a month before the general I realized that the song of the next 8 years, every day, will be about how Trump betrayed us.

Yeah dude I end up having too many nights where I'm reporting more threads than I'm even replying to anymore. I used to be against reporting things because I don't like those people who report everything they don't like, but it's literally the only way to get the janitors/mods attention.

Hell, I wonder if they see the IPs of who reports because I have like a 90% success rate now. I'll report something and it's gone in like 3 minutes. I don't report people for disagreeing with me or things I don't like, just threads that either have nothing to do with Sup Forums. Or ones that use BLACKED porn, there is no reason to post that shit other than bait.

I wish Sup Forums was a blue board. Not a day of my fucking life goes by without seeing interracial porn now. Not something I go out of my way to see, but I'm forced to see it just for going to an image board that's supposed to about politics.

"""BETRAYED""" too. Trump never said "I'm going to do whatever Sup Forums wants" and I don't think any serious pollacks thought that or if they did they're idiots. So it's trolls projecting that people thought/think that so they can laugh at opinions that no one seriously had and be contrarian.

This. Mods do a good job of cleaning some of it up, but most of the time, threads that used to be made by CTR shills are now becoming favourite topics for shitposters because they know they'll get replies.

Maybe it makes them feel validated. Either way, if I deem a thread to be shit and / or bait, I usually don't respond, or if I do, I make sure to 1. sage, and 2. contribute nothing of value to the thread.

pic unrelated

>leaf

>Or the ones that use BLACKED porn
How dare you, you uncultured filth. Learn to be more tolerant.

Reported for off-topic discussion.

>Browses pol at work
Absolute madman

The really fucked part is that unlike clickbait on youtube or (((news))) sites, clickbait on Sup Forums gives you nothing in return except (you)s. Really gets the noggin joggin

because this is Sup Forums now

>long day
>frustration over life's various problems
>get on Sup Forums
>some faggot claims he BTFO my beliefs
>lay into him and everyone like him
>call them all faggots, niggers
>tell them to kill themselves
>remind them of the day of the rope/rake, gas chambers etc
feels good newfag you should try it

>lay into him
>he doesn't care because he doesn't even agree with the crap he's saying, just wanted some (You)s
Eh exactly satisfying.

>implying i'm actually arguing
>what is blowing off steam
kys retard autist

I really don't understand their motivation at all. I don't get what kind of low-life gets off on this.

After years and years of this shit you'll realize you wasted every drop of your time. It's not worth it. All threads archive. No one's going to pat you on the back for telling people they suck. No one cares. You have no permanent record here to point too.

It might as well never existed. It's no different from doing anything at all.

>get mad at something
>throw it across the room
you know, the object doesn't care that you threw it, and no one is going to pat you on the back for showing it who's boss

are you actually this retarded? It's not a difficult concept

Exactly. Even if people are being more serious, if you start beating them in argument no one is going to admit, they'll just double down on their stupidity to save face.

>Nuh uh, that's not what you were saying you actually said this!

Yeah, let some anonymous asshole put words in your mouth because he can't just admit he lost an Internet debate. It all gets so tiresome.

I get that, but I'm just saying it becomes redundant over time. There has to be a more productive way to let off the steam.

Maybe I'm just old and feel time ticking away or something.

>Item brakes

>Have to go buy new item

>Made life even worse for yourself.

>Cut years off your life and portions of your health with stress

Are you really this retarded? It's not a difficult concept to grow up and stop giving a fuck.

>productive
you have the wrong website friendo. reddit is where the hacktivism takes place
>brakes
so yes then

It's half proxies, they will pretend to have a conversation but it's mostly pasta.

They're shitting up the board and deleting any legit thread, any tales of the leftymod being fired are a psyop.

Jews jewing jews jewing jews.

There is no one left here, friend. Just kikes and kike-allies paid to respond to kikethreads.
