>>6343175>>6343184There were a number of shifts where the site user-base fundamentally shifted. OP's image is pretty much correct.
Pre 08: still obscure site that was scary for normies.
2008-2012: still generally the same but much bigger.
2013: (around when you arrived) GamerGate got banned and millions of normie refugees arrive.
2015: Huge base of political activism, normies trying to be edgy.
So you've only really been through one shift in this site's user-base. You're part of the initial normie invasion. Personally I left 4chan for (redacted)chan for a number of years and only started to come back to assess the damage. I mean there's still a ton of good shit here, but it's much bigger and full of redditors.
