>>3789286this isn't reddit, you as a user have the power to decide what belongs or not on this board. there are loose rules that serve as guidelines to make sure post stay somewhat on topic but besides that that's it. really, the reason there are so many gear threads is that the people on this board are interacting with them and are popular. if you don't like it, it's simple, don't post in those threads.
again, I agree that these are low quality threads and are generally detrimental to the board as a whole, but apparently this isn't an opinion shared by the majority of people posting right now. Seriously, if you don't like it, maybe just stop coming here? nobody is forcing you to stay. boards are forever evolving and shaped by the people using them. this is the beauty of 4chan. boards don't always go in the direction you want, and that's ok.
You really only have 2 choices here, either leave, or create threads that YOU want to see. it's really that simple.
