I thought you were referring to the writing quality initially, I would have said the forum remains what it used to be, IMO, as the moderators are trying their best.

As it is now, your concern is not new on the forum. But I wonder if you guys asking this question have made the efforts to spice things up before asking. That said, new and exciting happenings around Bitcoin have a long way to go in this. Are there any recently?

This is not true as long as some of us have a fast response to post a reply on new threads that has been discussed about before. This is common on this forum, but more than 95% of the threads are reports on the first post that similar thread is existing and the link to the first thread is there.

If you accused gambling boards of recycled discussions, that is true but not on other boards like bitcoin discussion.

It varies a lot over time. There are days or weeks in which I can find barely anything interesting to read let alone something that is worth writing a response to. In the recent days it was again like this, I have noticed it as well.

What you wrote is not correct. Most of the posts and threads in Bitcoin Discussion are recycled too. There are hundreds of threads just about quantum computers by idiots who know nothing and should not even bother themselves with such advanced topics. Most of the threads are rehashed versions of existing discussions, or they are going on for too long where most users are just rewriting generic junk that was already posted by someone else.

Which boards would be that? Economics? Speculation? Gambling Discussion? The situation in all of those is so much worse than in Bitcoin Discussion. Having a few exceptional threads does not change the fact that complete shit threads and posts are the normal.

This is not a justification for this behavior. Most posts are generic, by users who don't understand anything and rush to open a thread because of a headline. They do this because they are spammers, not because they want to or because they can discuss this topic. This example is great because 99.99% of the users of this forum should not speak a word about this topic.

What do you mean "aside that"? Which boards? This is happening almost everywhere where there is significant activity, it is just a question of the actual ranking of how bad the things are. Probably I would rank it like this using the boards that I check the most:

1. Gambling Discussion.
2. Speculation.
3. Economics.
4. Bitcoin Discussion.

Just because it is ranked number 4, that does not mean that the situation isn't very bad over there. Example topics that have been rehashed countless times some even thousands of times, just from the first page:

• Should Bitcoin Be Taught in Schools or Remain Self-Taught? Here’s My Take
• Will you still hold?
• Are people still doubting Bitcoin.
• Is holding Bitcoin harder financially or psychologically?

Just because a thread may include a piece of recent news or a new tweet, that does not mean that the topic is not rehashed. This is a method that gives the thread a bit more credibility to the naive and is often done by spammers. Don't tell me that it isn't happening when even the first page is proof that it is happening.

Maybe. However, in comparison to our 'competitors' i.e social media. I'd say we're still a lot better for lengthy in depth discussions. I don't think there's anywhere else that offers the same level of depth. So, while it might be declining I still think its better than all the alternatives.

We can blame the board for increased or reduces availability of interactive threads and topics, the truth is that this Forum is a small place and most times the most interesting topics have been treated already unless just some random news on crypto that make headlines for a short period of time then get faded, this is the reason why most recent topics have no interest or long term existence and presence.

That board has been a shithole for as long as I can remember. It shouldn't be, it should be one of the best boards we have, but it isn't.
I'm more concerned that even Meta gets more and more shitposters (and I don't mean you) with gambling signature trying to earn Merit and reach their post quota.

I just checked Bitcoin Discussion: Do you analyze your mistakes?, from a Newbie with 3 posts:
I've reported it. Let's see if it gets wiped. Update: it's gone!

Uhhh true though but comparing here to social media doesn't really help the case
Because social media isn't really a platform to have such indepth discussion about Bitcoin.

Lol since many believe the quality did have a dip
I think my coffee is good.
The thing is Bitcoin Discussion board is one of my favorite but realise now I'm spending more time in the economic board
And I wasn't talking about quality post I'm talking about threads
I'm also aware there are good threads out there just the ratio is shrewd

Yeah I believe I noticed it now
Due to the December break that allowed me free time to really surf the forum
Had quite a sum of smerit and was looking for how to share them.

I noticed one particular pattern of posts and threads in Bitcoin discussion, users avoid threads and posts that are intellectual discussion, I may be wrong but I have seen this most often. When you see posts like Bitcoin price and speculation, biggest mistake I made with Bitcoin, where Bitcoin will be in the next year, your Bitcoin new year resolution and many more, these are the kind of posts that get engagement most of the time, no disrespect but Bitcoin discussion is full of spam.

Some months ago, one person complained about beginners and help board with less quality posts that the mod might not be active and he became super active. The number of locked topics moved to achieve were high in numbers which shows he was active but he has lay low again, he may have his reasons but we have more low quality threads on that board now.

Though, there are some baords that don't go out of topic discussions that are interesting but they don't get new discussions or threads frequently.
