>>3898614Yeah, we definitely seem to both get and want to get somewhat different things out of /c/. I'm not exactly a "blogging enthusiast" or anything of the sort - I keep mine to a minimum in terms of both quantity and length, usually as a twice-per-thread reply to my reply to another person's blogpost if they (whether out of courtesy or interest) show any interest. That said, I definitely like replying to other people's occasional blogs out of curiosity and feel like they breathe life into these threads in a way that the images alone never could for me. Hell, without me getting into the 4cc and being reminded in the last summer cup that /c/ actually exists, I would never have found out that people were finally doing more than just posting images here (though to your credit, I've definitely learned to appreciate the quieter periods).
I'm definitely with you on the genuine discussion front, but at the same time, what's even left to discuss that people would actually want to discuss? Take that book that was mentioned one or two threads ago - it's an interesting analysis from someone who's definitely done a good amount of research, but only one other person (apart from me) read it and talked about it, and they only made one post about it. I reckon most people here get their fill of such discussions from talking to friends or, heaven forbid, replying to people on /a/ or other places, so you're largely left with people that are like either yourself or myself. Least the 4th movie ought to help with that.
>>3898616Oh I'm completely with you on that. Both the periods of silence and the occasional discussions (whether blogposting or, rare as it is, actual on-topic stuff) are cozy in a way that only /jp/'s train stream threads really rival in my eyes. Certainly beats /a/'s annoying contrarian nature or social media's... well, social media tendencies.
