>>7462596I'm honestly not sure. The Paige leaks were the first big influx of smarks /asp/ got and they made their presence known. Then they slowly kept growing when the console wars started. It was NJPW then AEW. Now it seems like there are a lot more. The fact that there are retards who think anti-smarks here are actually outsiders from that subreddit mocking /r/sc shows how much the demographics have changed.
Also a lot of the oldfags were driven away by the spam, schizos, smarks, and pedomod. I used to be on /asp/ daily in the golden days, now I'm a part-timer.
