Ultimately though I will admit as I feel a good population of this site has aged to where some of the more parody accounts/threads just aren’t as funny any more and it’s coming full circle. The old site definitely had its fair share of bullshit that found it a lot funnier back then but I probably just ain’t as receptive of it now naturally
Nah it will just turn into a chat thread after a while and then people will start posting Twitter threads again.
yeah tbh the only way we would solve that problem is eradicating the stans
Ya just to be clear this is exactly what im talking about in OP
it’s where someone posts an opinion of someone else’s that’s just a tweet and offers no opinion of their own just to try stir engagement/controversy
If I wanted to read random Twitter users opinions all day I'd be on Twitter
Which I'm not
So I don't like it so make it not allowed mod guy
I’ve seen some threads where the title is reworded to the point where it’s just click bait (example the Chris brown Popeyes thread). I think that should be penalized
A lot of people love those threads, including me. A standalone Gossip SXN would be a good solution. I also think it would drive a lot of extra traffic to the site because if you search "ktt2.com" on twitter or reddit, 99% of the time it's someone linking a gossip thread like mgk pedo allegations or tyler being a groomer
I think there’s a distinction between actual gossip threads and just obvious clickbait titles
I really think the people taking issue with it could focus on posting high quality threads. Can really only fight fire with fire imo.
Absolutely

Yup
Report button
Obviously it has to be mute worthy but we do moderate this site and can’t catch everything so use report
i do report, a lot actually
crazy how little effect it actually has
Twitter threads are the only funny threads on this site that have actual discussions in the mix
The rest are either about Drake, Kanye or a rare funny thread in the Life sxn

Snitch lmao
yes, destroy activity on this forum even more
Obviously this isn’t the intention
We want it to be easy to post threads and not require effort or serious commitment
But no control over it at all means any thread that isn’t engagement bait gets drowned out which just ultimately limits activity here in itself

yeah that pretty much sums up the experience of this site ngl
I shouldn’t need to write a thesis on a popular topic others are already discussing elsewhere
Not asking for a thesis - by word count im meaning literally a sentence
Not sold that’s the solution regardless though

I miss the golden era of ktt
When the bad opinions being spammed were out own bad opinions
Where if your bait thread got 20 pages you got all the credit for it
These Twitter threads are destroying ktt2 culture
Ngl I love the Twitter threads. Them s***s be funny as hell sometimes even if they do be engagement bait
It’s a difficult line to find
Generally I’m willing to change egregious titles tho if I get tagged in a thread and asked to do so
For sure hard to police but had to bring it up lol
lets just let people do whatever and we will vote with our attention
This is just the engagement trap tho people’s attention inherently goes towards s*** that they don’t like or that creates anger or etc rather than what they do like

Gossip sxn idea is not it

I don’t disagree with this. Twitter drives a lot of good discussion here and since everything is so decentralized now it’s very easy to find good topics. Just think people push that to its extremes for whatever reason they get off on having a high traffic thread even if it’s about some bs

I don't know, you guys seem to easily lock fun and popping threads. There are obvious bait threads that should easily be locked before anyone replies, but you can't automate this based on just what the OP has (i.e.: a twitter link). Some people make OPs that are literal nonsense and troll but they hide it behind a wall of text, which also limits activity
