How come average daily post counts on 4chan have dropped so dramatically over the past 3 years? Nearly 30% of the posters have disappeared, are they gone because they all died of the vax?

20% reduction in posts in 2 years. assume the average user contributes 20 posts per day. then 1 million daily posts a day means 50,000 unique users globally across all boards. given that /sci/ is about 500 times slower than /pol/ (order of magnitude based on 2 hours vs. 2 days until death), i estimate /sci/ has an average of 100 users posting on any given day, each of whom is posting an average of 20 posts a day. so without looking at data i expect to see /sci/'s data revealing 2000 daily posts. if this is indeed reflective of the daily posts on /sci/, then gentlemen, it's been an honor being a part of your under 100 club.

factor in the 15-20 schizos here at any given time, and that the real daily posts are 1500/day (20% lower than 100 so 80 unique posters) that indicates there are at most about 50 unique non-schizos here. a handful of chemists, some medfags, a few math autists, a couple physicists. that probably makes up 15-20 of the users and the other 30 are just kids or /pol/trolls. welcome to /sci/!

4chan is really millennial culture and made its peak contributions to internet meme culture from 2007-2016. People who grew up with 4chan when it was created in 2003 were teenagers around that time. Obviously zoomers come here, but it's not quite as interesting to them. As more millennials age out, have kids, and stop coming here, the userbase will drop. That only leaves the loser 35 year olds such as myself to keep hanging on to the past.

I'll assume the site-wide distribution is as follows: there is a small population of terminally-online, neets, and bots, all of which constantly shit out posts on the order of 250-500 per day. While a vast majority of unique users (not unique IPs from vpns, and people with multiple devices) post rarely and sporadically, with around a 5-15 posts per day average.

So /sci/ could have as few as 8 people online at any moment on average. And two of them are almost always online, and make 75% of posts and threads.

Pretty much this, some millennial people I know who were 4chan addicts for a decade stopped coming here. They claim this anyway, I assume they still lurk from time to time. They mostly use twitter now which is quite similar to 4chan in a lot of ways. I think more and more millennials are being swayed by left wing ideology too and they'd probably find this site unpalatable

Feels like I'm going to be stuck here until this place finally dies though, nothing else scratches that itch of hearing peoples true opinions on topics without having to filter it for fear of backlash

Over the same period of time /sci/ has fallen off from 5000 posts per day to 1500, a far greater drop percentage wise (apologies to those who think per capita is racist).
And /sci/ is by far the most gigavax'd board on 4chan, so its no coincidence that /sci/ has experienced a more severe post count decline than the site's overall average.

If you look at the traffic of the largest boards, the biggest contributors to this decline are /b/ and /pol/

/b/ was pulling 115-120k posts a day in 2018, but apart from a brief bump during the pandemic they've been steadily decreasing, and are barely pulling 40-45k posts a day now.
/pol/ was averaging 200k posts a day a few years ago and they're under 100k posts a day now.
That's probably about 75% of your total drop in posting.

Some other boards have lost a bit here and there. /co/ has had a particularly rough decline (about 40k to 15k), but a lot of that can be attributed to the declining interest in comics and comic book movies among readers and audiences.

There's a decent number of us who've become (semi-)functional adults with families of our own but still use 4chan frequently. Once this place goes i'll be pretty much done with the internet.

Nearly all the places I enjoyed 15-20 years ago are either dead or may as well be, and the internet is being gradually forced into existing as just a handful of highly controlled sites curated by algorithms. I'm sick of it and saddened by it. The Wild West era is gone.

>20% reduction in posts in 2 years. assume the average user contributes 20 posts per day. then 1 million daily posts a day means 50,000 unique users globally across all boards
so 10,000 dead vaxxies
its good, but its barely even a small dent in the problem

ITS THE CAPTCHAS

It's impossible to post from a privacy focused browser and having to do 3-4 tries from a shitty browser is just not worth it. Making a single post often takes fucking minutes.

That's why all the alternative chans are thriving and manage to retain a significant userbase.

It's such a hassle.
With the captcha I don't even feel like posting sources or answering people who ask for something I know or have.

Being too low IQ to do captchas is a nice filter, it keeps the riffraff out.

I stopped going to /pol/ so I'm in this. Half of the posts there are BBC posts and the other half is literal schizos posting unhinged senseless garbage.
No funny threads or serious threads anymore. All schizobabble and BBC.
