Eh, I think pre-2016 /pol/ was sensible because it was filled with people who actually gave a shit and were intelligent, hence them slowly figuring out
(((globohomo))) over time, it was the retards, qoomers and assmad glowies who hopped on after 2016 that warped the site into its downwards spiral. It's like the Wall Street Bets community after some dedicated enthusiasts managed to stock squeeze the
(((bizraelis))), their braintrust got destroyed by the normalfag flood who knew jack shit about the market and just spammed diamond and hand emojis before getting BTFO'd by Robin Hood, to later get rainbowwashed by
(((Hollyweird pedophiles))) as muh brave interracial lesbian couple. Their last gift was giving some less intelligent folks a clue towards the ESG and DEI scam that put a tangible face to the pozz globohomo couldn't wave away. Still, if you have zero context for the coherent entity /pol/ used to be I don't blame you, /cuckpol/ is desperately trying to sign up to die for the IDF right now.
I think what every anon here misses but can't put into words was that 8chan prime back then was undeniably a nexus of the online zeitgeist that has bled into the everyday reality we inhabit. Whether it be
(((Yandev))) and Tetradev breaking down on there, or spreading the seeds of webm culture (I'm trying to bring about a revival through highlighting SVT-AV1-PSY), or Limited Soul Theory inspiring the NPC meme (for better or for worse), or fucking SoulBrothaNo3 being posted on here before he made
Class of '09, or helping make niche shit like
STALKER and
Wakfu take off. 8chan was
creative. We were "infamous" because 8chan prime housed the counterculture that would ultimately save the white race from being genocided by
(((Israel))) (or not according to doomers). Nowadays the new nexus is Xitter and it's a dogshit one that's spiraling in an ever-derivative recursion because of the sanding down of the internet. Even if you can write "faggot" on there people are just hurling it out to be obnoxious; it's lost the power it used to have in old nettiquette when posters just used it to deter normalfags.

High PPH is rarely good if the posts are just unproductive spam like niggerpill. Quality over quantity. You want the creators with a brain and wit to come here, which is why threads like the APNG one and the Silent Hill LP are compacting a lot of content to digest without wasting readers' time with vacuous shitflinging. One of my missions is to encourage literacy in high quality compression to reduce 8chan's bandwidth but also conversely incentivize people to post more media in general and take advantage of what the boards have to offer. Post high resolution art dumps of mahjong games from the 90s, post Flashes, post entire series, etc.
