>>18616555This. Seeing /bant/'s downfall has been truly sad. It was unequivocally the best board on 4chan in 2017, and still pretty good in 2018 and some of 2019.
All yellow general discussion boards are just fated to eventually get taken over by some cabal of like-minded retards, who slowly drive everyone else away year by year by being their insufferable selves and proudly refusing to find anything to do with their time aside from ruining their captive board. It happened on /r9k/, /s4s/, /qa/, /b/, and /pol/ too.
