the forum fallacy

There is only so much you can say, so much you can laugh at, so much that you can argue over until you have run out of things to post. 4chan is a prime example of it. While the majority of their boards consist of THE current thing, the posters there can only rehash what has already been said. Outside of 4chan people can only rehash what has already been said on other websites until all you are left is with absolutely nothing. This excludes the entire prospect of creating new things that could be discussed for obvious reasons: the majority of posters on a forum only seek to propagate rather than create. Rarely do you see anyone actually create anything substantial enough to stand on its own that warrants discussion, and if anything, modern discussion websites seek to stamp out new and unique content and instead continue strengthening the constant stream of reposts until it all falls apart.

What makes altchans any different? What makes Cyberix any different? Users should be encouraged to create new things of value rather than regurgitate.
