Make money fuck bitches

He never will, phoneposters don't block ads.

Finally, a graph that attributes the 2014 jump to the right issue instead of GG.

Someone should make a companion graph of "willingness to lie about IQ when asked on Sup Forums"

If the whole malicious ad debacle has taught us anything it’s that he’d rather have all non-phoneposters fuck off.

i remember back then i could make a thread and check it after 24h later and it's still not reached 404

Phoneposters are Sup Forums's largest source of revenue. Mobile browsers don't have adblockers so people constantly fatfinger ads.

What's wrong with phone posters?

This shit was carried out by /sci/ and /qa/, from what I remember, it had nothing to do with "post your iq", the anons involved created a script that crawled the archives and measured average post length (words, letters) and how often things were repeated (words like meme, reddit and obvious shitposts).

Not my fault you're part of the double digit club.

when you have to type on a tiny screen it means you mostly make low effort shitposts. There's reason why most rabid shitposters you see around here have cell phone filenames on their images.

Jealously. Most people on here don’t have any friends or loved ones who give a shit about them enough to call or text.

why don't you have a gaming PC to post from? Too poor?

firefox has adblock

it's even easier than it already is to shitpost and immediately ban evade

>post garbage
>get banned
>flip off data for a minute and turn it back on
>continue posting garbage

>correlation equals causation
back t where you came from resetera

they can ban evade just by turning on airplane mode.

>Sup Forums that high
100% horseshit.

I don't even know where to behin. Some problems with mobile users:

1) It's hard to type on touchscreens. This means people are more likely to make shorter posts, with shorter words in. This obviously leads to a lowered level of discourse.

2) It's hard to read due to the smaller screen and harder to navigate a thread than on PC. This applies to boards, threads and posts. A long post is more likely to be ignored on a phone as it is just so hard to read. If a thread is several hundred posts long then it just won't be read through, and the phone user's post has more chance of being irrelevant to the discussion. And it's harder to browse boards too, possibly meaning increased likelihood of duplication of threads as mobile users miss/can't be bothered to check for them.

3) Images. Many of us have hundreds if not thousands of images saved and meticulously catalogued. This is an image board of course. It's not outrageous to suggest that people on mobile devices don't have that many, and that they're not well organized. Plus, it's harder to quickly save a new image if you don't have one that fits to what you want, or if you're searching for something in particular. Not impossible, but harder. So, mobile users almost certainly have less images, which are organized poorly, and it's a pain to quickly get a new one. So what will this lead to? Spamming of the same few images over and over again. As more mobile users see these, they'll save them and keep posting them too. An epic new maymay is born.

4) Easy to ban evade from. As OP said, or even just connecting to multiple wifi networks as they go about their day. Obviously this could be done with a laptop, and lots of IPs can be changed with a router reset. However, this is not a reason to allow those who can do it so easily and perhaps without even realizing.

cont'd

Low content posts due to touch screen keyboards, can ban evade by just going on airplane mode. Mobile devices should be read-only.

I phonepost since 5 years now because it's way more comfy to post from bed. Whats wrong with it?

Can't make OC

>being a a luddite thats afraid of technology

>nah man phoneposters are a good thing
you have to go back.

>He doesn't run Firefox on his phone with adblock

oh wow how embarrassing

Then how does that put /x/ on the bottom, this is clearly biased based on /sci/ not liking them

>It's hard to type on touchscreens
maybe for your sausage fingers, fatty

What do you fucking think I typed that on?

perhaps the upsurge in phoneposting is due to the increasing convenience of smartphones in the culture of multitasking, not some political boogeyman

>/lgbt/
>Sup Forums
>more than double digit
Truly a reliable script

...

I wouldn't be caught dead on /sci/; they're a bunch of pretentious shithead undergrads without a fucking clue what they're talking about.

5) Used when on the go so less likely to get deeply into discussion. If people can sit down at their computer and post, 99% of the time they will. Most people would only use their mobile device if they're out and about doing something, perhaps browsing during their break at work or during a gap in classes. I feel this style of browsing, this dipping in and out will lead to lower quality of discussion too. If you've only got a few minutes you're not going to open a thread with hundreds of long replies, then type one up yourself and reply to comments. No, you'll just find a short funny one and post a short funny comment and move on. Then later when you've got another few minutes you might come back to it, or go onto another easily digestible thread. I anticipate someone bringing up public transport here, to which I will just respond with "Why the fuck do you want to post on Sup Forums whilst on the bus?".

I could think of more reasons, but this is probably the bulk of my argument and is enough to be getting on with. A brief summary would be something like:

Mobile users are inherently less likely to post high quality content, both text and images, due to the limitations of the device. This combined with the site being more difficult to use due to the smaller screen means that low quality threads are more likely to be made, and filled with low quality replies and a small number of images posted over and over again. This low quality will be compounded by it being nearly impossible to ban anyone at all who breaks the rules on these devices, and by such users only using the site "casually" ie during a gap between other things.

...And this is video games, how?

>scientific research
>but no citations
you know, there's archives for pretty much every board

would have been easy to link to the posts, and prove a case
wonder why they chose not to

On the few occasions I post, and I'm on my phone, and it isn't connected to my wifi it will always come up banned for child porn.

Every single time.

I'm on my laptop tethered to my T-Mobile phone, I remember not being able to post yesterday due to a range ban.
