>>14834450That's really close to what's actually happening. There are more legitimate users there than here, but the place is allowed to be filled with a couple thousand mentally ill spammers. And that's before mentioning the sanctioned bots and raids (4chan boards receiving small raids, not sending them). Or the genuine guerilla marketing that happens. So you end up with a website with more real users, but also a metric assload of filler twitter and Reddit trash that makes it unusable anyway. /v/'s actual, non-completely mentally ill userbase is probably only 1,000 to 3,000, and nearly all of them stop using the website after a few years at most. 4chan is definitely a testing ground for AI posts and human interaction with AI, considering it was openly botted even way back in 2009, and some years ago a single guy botted 10% of posts on /pol/ literally just out of curiosity with no agenda. 4chan is absolutely at least as fake as Reddit these days.
