>>9066835if you want to know specifically why /b/'s like it is you need to look at the celeb nude leak from years ago. searches pertaining to /b/ and 4chan like went up by a couple million in the space of a week while coomers desperately sought those things
its interesting in an autistic way but that one thing drew so much attention to the board that it permanently made it a porn board because of the people that attracted lol
someone correct me if i'm wrong but i'm absolutely certain that's the specific point /b/ died, all the shitposters went to /pol/ because /pol/ was a bit more like /b/ than /b/ itself at the time.
and now its all fucked. all of it. this is the only board that vaguely reminds me of it. i like how /bant/ is tamer in general than old /b/ anyway. am too old for the edgy fucking shit anymore.
