>>3257711That is totally correct. It's more geared towards content consumption rather than production and the level of discourse there is pretty bad --although you will find some content centric communities in there like /r/writingprompts and a few gems of discussion here and there if you lurk enough--
>>3257715Circlejerking with jokes is fine, old 4chan was just one big circlejerk of "inside" jokes and references and all.
Circlejerking with opinions on the other hand, that's when a community dies. Most faggots browsing this website didn't form their opinions on their own but rather picked them up from what the people around them were shouting (hey, that sounds awfully familiar to those other websites they love to bash)
Attempt going against the circlejerk on any board and you'll get the same response.
>>3257720It grew an identity after the SA hijack, and the constant faggotry of the mods and admins definitely didn't help.
Although /pol/ and their colony are both an annoying group of shitheads, admins have no right to alter the sorting algorithm just to censor that one community.
