Site traffic

This, plus they allow actual low quality posts while any bleached edits are deleted because "low quality", dude I see stuff that's literally JPEG artifacts all over the place but yet some guy who post a girl with QOH tattoos is bad. Plus the biases on the site: Bans bleached stuff because of "racial exclusion" (how is it racial exclusion when bleached includes everyone, all what bl**ked does is include white, asian, or any person with close proximity to whiteness) while lets low quality posts and weird stuff because the mods don't like bleached. There's literal MS paint-tier drawings on the site, making me question if that's a kid on a 18+ site instead of just playing Fortnite, Minecraft like normal kids do or a genuinely bad artist behind those low quality drawings.
And the mods are literally reddit-tier power hungry, wouldn't be surprised if they are originally from Reddit. Don't forget the mistagging as well, I look up BWC, I get what I want but then I see someone who puts the BWC tag on a post with someone with the same skin tone as coal.
I just left there because it's a huge disorganized biased mess that even with filters, it will still be utter garbage.
Wished more people came here because its more organized than on R34 plus R34 doesn't like bleached so your chances of finding bleached on R34 is low.

(also in my opinion and note: pretty weird how they only let Nazi but yet bleached isn't acceptable, I can get the Nazi and bleached can overlap sometimes but why do they only Nazi but not bleached, I'm curious)

Part of me thinks the same, I wonder about Gelbooru too but what happened to Sankaku, it's been a few years since I went there. I know the site's questionable in the past because they shilled censored Korean manhwa under Sankaku Plus, predatory comments where users say stuff that sounds like they want to harm real children, that Schlomo LARP (why haven't they banned him yet? Dude's spamming for a few years I assume but I don't think he's even banned), and the site mods posting their fetishes instead of anime #5000000 or actual news. Correct me anyway because I haven't been on the site for so long.

It's good to see you agree with what I already wrote here and it's not just something only I thought. This site rule34 should be abandoned by all reasonable people. Everything leads also to rule34 being crap site because they seem to work on it, but I can't see any improvements. It's almost like be happy because it's work and every now and then I had troubles with I think their proxy I could not use site for few mins.

Yeah that's because I had some rather questionable to borderline shitty experiences on those sites. R34 is more disorganized and hypocritical (still don't get why Nazi is allowed while regular bleached isn't), don't know what happened but it seems like the good mods left or the mods stopped caring so they'll let some MS Paint tier garbage and all of that garbage all over the place. Sankaku is brokenish from what fki said regarding the image search, and the news side is just authors posting their fetishes and less anime/Japan news and the comments are no better: Schlomo spammer is not banned and potential predators in there.
Most people would leave a site if it's broken and just garbage, I don't get how people on r34 are going to find bleached there because the mods are heavily biased towards it. I had better luck finding it here and Bleached twitter. I'm also questioning why people didn't leave R34 yet despite everything wrong with it.

I mean the reason i still use r34 is because it has way more content and types than just this site. Sometimes i like seeing the entire or most of the works of an artist not just a few edited versions. I suppose i could use gelbooru and it was really good in the past, but the last time i went back to it, it had a new site design so i just went meh and kept using r34. In terms of site design this is still the best, it just has a very specific set of content

Fair enough, I just don't use it anymore because it's just disorganized and mods are weird though it's mostly like that online anyway, though most are inspired by Reddit mods. To me, it's like how no matter how many boycotts happen or how one person stop using it because of bad experiences, people will still use the services and products because it's the one that works and the most known one. I might try Gelbooru for newer stuff, sometimes I may get lucky i found bleached there or something relatively normal (I mean I got a large blocklist of fandoms I don't care about and stuff I don't want to see so I guess I'm in the clear)

Yea, generally boycotts wont do anything unless there is a same or better service. There is also danbooru, but from what i can tell, danbooru is just gelbooru with less content.

Yeah, people still went to Target after that mess and people still drink Bud Light after they put that Dylan dude as their sponsor. People still use YouTube despite the garbage they have but most of that can be fixed with extensions because there are no other good competitors. I'm planning to use both Gel and Dan to see which one is good.

Youtube seems perfectly fine with brave browser, that automaticly seems to make it fine. Plus the fact that elon opened twitter seems to made youtube ban less ppl. I still get my based news podcasts on youtube but before he bought twitter they were banning someone i watched like every several months or something

Brave does more in terms of browser and functionality than Firefox, Firefox just shits itself and makes my phone slower. They even have stuff to get rid of mobile distractions on YouTube and still have Background Playback which i think Kiwi Browser once had but gave in because Google didn't like it when people watch their videos in the background for free over premium. At this point, get Elon to buy YouTube, I think Susan stepped down and I don't know who replaced her.

Also Dan and Gel are good for art that I may do some tattoo or skin edits and has more stuff or if I do find original bleached stuff, I'll upload it. But I want to know if GIMP's good for editing.

Gimp is fine for editting from all ive heard and seen. Yea Elon should buy youtube. Also all those wierd centrist sites should shutdown like rumble, parlor, etc. We allready have odysey and bitchute, we dont need any more youtube competitors. And we have minds, gab and telegram, we dont need any more twitter alternatives

It's not as easy to use as photoshop is but if you understand how to use displace maps and the dodge/burn tool it's not difficult to do.

If it's because of the UI, pretty understandable since it's "outdated" although I have fair shares of using old software with no problems. But I'll have to use a lot of keyboard shortcuts and bookmark several YouTube tutorials since I'm not familiar with it that much.

Im curious on the current site traffic these days, because it does seem like there is far less people using the site than 2ish years ago on the older version. That said im just baseing this off the comments and forum usage, of which it seems to just be the same few users over and over. Of course there could be explanations to this, like the current rules and their enforcement meaning there are just far more lurkers, which is why im curious as to what the actualy number of users are monthly compared to 2 years ago.

I think it's a mix of the site beong down too much at some point and the amount of unapproved/removed stuff

Yeah, and I guess people being more busier than ever because of jobs and offline stuff and/or they prefer to go on Bleached Twitter since there's more content there.

You know, I don't know if it's me or not but I feel like the site's (not the posting aspect but the forum aspect) traffic is less after I left for 7 days to take a small break. Some of the same users I talk to most of the time basically left or aren't as active as they were. The forum kind of feels dead or maybe because I left here for a week, it's how I view it. Dunno if I missed much while away but when I opened this site and came back, I was greeted with: Some guy who's angry at some person over dumb reasons, minor slap fights, and one user leaving.
Or maybe most went to Bleached Twitter because it's more active.
I don't know but if there's any reasons you guys have, I like to hear them.

Twitter and Discord scene has always been more active. It's just more noticable now. The forums section is only alive when people get started on some drama

Yeah, I see a lot more activity on Bleached Twitter than here. Discord I guess but I don't use it because of raids+ongoing CSAM+grooming cult problems and I don't use social media.
Discord is basically saying :
Child abuse+femboy/trans/gooning cults: I sleep
Bleached servers/someone makes not Reddit friendly joke once: Real shit! B&!
I guess a lot of people left the forum because it's now mostly some political talk, slap fights so I don't blame them. Plus the threads got less engaging and they wind up going off topic.

Uploads are kind of slowish too or it's just me but I've got some stuff I'll potentially upload because I guess I found some gems I don't see uploaded here.

Idk if you're a mod that also controls the site but make it where duplicate threads (like "Is this post allowed" ones, I'm planning to make a megathread if it's fineso people can be the judge on whether tan guy fucking black girl is Bleached or not, obvious rule is don't link stuff that isn't Bleached) and inactive threads get nuked for a certain amount of time, it's to keep the forum clean and less cluttered with similar threads but that's just my suggestion.
