It's alienating. The post counts for boards are health, there are so many people to engage with, but it's like you're talking to robots.
I guess is this has been happening to a small extent since the 90's with increasing numbers of people with access to the internet. I first started posting on internet communities in 2002 and none of this was that big a problem until maybe 2011? 2012? Some sites would go to shit for whatever reason, getting flooded by new people being one reason, but in the early 2010s it started happening to every site rapidly.
You anons don't know how lucky you are. Guess comics aren't a hot topic for newfags. Honestly I wish I could just isolate myself with people age 25+. I've talked to even underage guys who were interested and I like them, but they're pretty rare.
