There will always be people that claim "oh, /vp/ has always been bad" or "you NEVER found THAT funny," and it's really annoying.
The first claim is a very subjective one, and can (sort of) be disproven by the fact that people saw merit in it at one point, hence the higher posts in the past(see
>>58698794.)
The second claim is the far more egregious claim. I am not even sure where to start with it because the very concept that dated humor "was never funny" is very foreign and inhuman concept. Sure, maybe it wasn't literal LOL or ROFL territory, but people participated in it and were amused back then, so clearly it had SOME humorous value. People DID find it funny, and to claim otherwise is bizarre at best. Maybe you didn't find it funny back then, and sure, okay, but that doesn't mean that no one else found it funny.
