How threads die on Sup Forums and why it's a major problem:
>interesting thread created
>a few people reply to it
>gets some traction
>everyone who's in the thread makes a reply then waits for other people to reply to them
>everyone just sits and refreshes the page until someone replies so that they can feel gratified

So basically instead of people actually contributing to the thread by replying with cool pics or interesting shit they just say something and then wait for replies to come in so that they can feel gratified. Sup Forums has become a place where people go and hunt for gratification and approval from others by posted witty unfunny shit.

That's what is really wrong with this site. Not the porn threads, not the banana, not the cuck threads or the trolls.

It's the vain attempts at gratification by anons desperate from approval.

Inb4 no replies

good job

it's kind of hard to have a conversation if you don't wait for people to reply to you.

>interesting thread created
no such thing, all threads are shit and all ops are faggots

Yea, that's Sup Forums

Hey what an interesting thread OP.

Then learn to handle your own thread you fuck.

Reply to this or your mother dies in her sleep tonight

>all threads are shit

That's not true. Everyone has a thread they like, and everyone has threads they dislike.

The problem isn't with the threads being posted,; the problem is that people use to post cool, original stuff in threads of all types, and people would reply and do the same, and everyone had a good time. That rarely happens anymore.

>and everyone had a good time
holy shit

this

True words, still i think the banana is shit

I really, really like this thread

Really? I think threads die when they are all the same...

please god no sweet baby jesus mommy live please live

One reason this problem exists, why people ignore threads, is because Sup Forums has porn.
Have you been to /s/ or /hc/? They're extremely slow boards, while Sup Forums always has 10 threads for pron with 200+ replies.

Boards without porn are doing well because there's no distraction other than """"good"""" content.

>That's what is really wrong with this site. Not the porn threads, not the banana, not the cuck threads or the trolls.
Kinda, maybe a little bit. But this wouldnt be an issue at all if there werent a hundred gorrilion cancer threads bumping actual good threads off the board.
The problem with the board is that (while it has never been good), the actual good threads are becoming more and more scarce as cancer becomes more and more prevalent. I have stopped coming here so much the last year or so. Even tho I hate those fucks over at Sup Forums, there are generally much more interesting conversations happening there and the pace is almost as fast as Sup Forums. I tend to spend more time there nowadays, even though much of it is absolutely insane.

Sh

But Sup Forums is the trash can of Sup Forums

That, or we just agree with everyone. We don't really like posting here to hug someone else. We post here to shitpost if someone else is wrong.

and porn falls back on vanity, as it's only self-gratification to gain pleasure, so OP is right

This is exactly right, is Sup Forums just supposed to be you talking to yourself with an audience?

What is a conversation but a way to kill time, gain some gratification, and maybe exchange ideas?

Asshole

same image = same thread
obviously, fam. you're really smart.

enjoy your shills faggot
>checked

Having conversations isn't the issue.

The issue is that often once someone has posted in a thread once, they'll just wait until someone replies to them. for example, those "name a useless super power thread an other anons try to find a use for it" a lot of people will post a reply to the OP and then just wait until someone replies to them, instead of browsing the thread and contributing to it while waiting.

It's often the case with other types of threads as well, such as discussion threads. Someone will post a reply to the OP and then just wait around until someone replies to them. Almost every thread eventually succumbs to this.

well, you can always try yourself to make Sup Forums more engaging. just start up some threads or enter some threads to start up conversation. if you engage in more conversation here, people around you will become more willing to do the same. people only change once they see it done by others.

can confirm. wallpaper threads and groove threads always die unless OP specifically says to rate others. that, or they're just lucky.

>Sup Forums has become a place where people go and hunt for gratification and approval from others

>become

hello I have decided to contribute to this thread by posting a reply

It has become a place where they come to do that and that alone.

Too much hunting for gratification, not enough actual contribution.

pissing in an ocean of piss doesnt make a fucking difference, brah. I have started my fair share of threads I find interesting, most of the time, they get slid off the board...

then make your piss a different color. if your yellow piss isn't getting attracted in an ocean of yellow piss, try pissing blood.

everyone's pissing rainbow because we're all faggots on Sup Forums

I think you missed the point...
That's the point of Sup Forums

If you want something else, check the other boards you tard.

good shit go౦ԁ sHit thats some goodshit rightthere rightthere if i do ƽaү so my self i say so thats what im talking about right there right there (chorus: ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ ᵗʰᵉʳᵉ) mMMMMᎷМ НO0ОଠOOOOOОଠଠOoooᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒ Good shit

well the color black isn't on the rainbow scale
there's always something you haven't tried

Not just talking about Sup Forums, i'm talking about the majority of Sup Forums, most prominently Sup Forums, Sup Forums, and Sup Forums along with Sup Forums.

shit

Why have you created this thread so? All you want is someone who tell you that this thread is a smart one (and for me it is). All you want is gratification like everybody else (including me) and there is nothing wrong with it. If you can't get any form of gratification by visiting or posting in this site you simply don't visit or post in this site. This is basically how people work and if you think this is a problem, it's not a Sup Forums's problem but people's problem.

We all do it. The problem isn't seeking gratification. The problem is that people ONLY seek gratification and in doing so they don't contribute to threads.

And mostly I created this thread because I realized what I've said while browsing a different thread.

And you shouldn't visit a site simply for gratification. I don't browse YouTube for gratification; I browse it for the content on the site. When a site reaches a point where people are only browsing to be gratified by others or to get the approval of others, the site stagnates.

Now I see your point. I think you are right

This thread will go the same way of course.

Op is a faggot.
