I feel like the quality of posts have gone down by a LOT. Back in the day (I’m not like a super OG but like a year ago maybe?) people put efforts in to posts. Now people log on to the site, and say “I’ll just post a random phrase in an attempt at comedy” Which is why you have so many random gen z catch phrases posted around n stuff. You can see this just by looking at the home feed. When owenathletic joined, people kinda laughed at him. But now adays, his posts are more thought out and literate than 90% of the posts on wasteof. The average user is following like 100-500 peopls now adays. Which fills there feed with low effort post by people who think they are funny.
i miss the golden days of wasteof. i can't provide an exact pinpoint of when that was, but it was probably during 2022. the thing is that i used to like almost every single post in my feed. that is most certainly not the case anymore. 80% of my feed is filled with bots, repost chains, spam, wars about random stuff, fighting, and more. it's honestly not pleasant at all trying to use wasteof with all that is happening on here. there are people that have made 60 posts in the past two days and have filled 32 pages of posts THIS YEAR alone. i make 60 posts in 2 months. i've been used wasteof for over 2 years on this account and i only have 52 pages of posts. this is not okay, and it needs to stop. along with this, think about it from the perspective of admins/mods. they have to deal with moderating everything i discussed earlier. they have to deal with the spam of accounts created just for the purpose of stat boosting, which against the rules. walk a mile in their shoes. think about them the next time before you start spamming, making repost chains, or really doing anything on here.
