i have a theory
it is impossible for bant to grow as big as other mainstream imageboards
because it is based on personification cults, like it or hate it, everyone here is anonymous but inside of the board we have fixated personas that other know theough our flags, so its kinda pseudoanonymity.
the moment someone new with flags pops up, we start giving them a nickname and a trait we approach them through.
when more and more people come, it becomes impossible to keep up that habit with everyone, and it will end up as two forces, the lesser known that could not get identified, and those who were known as x or y.
these two forces may complete eachother and oppose them at other times…

I will think about this later and decide whether you're right or wrong

I like the premise and the logic but maybe not the theory
You can't spell "culture" without "cult" and other websites with usernames, profile pictures, etc… have gone mainstream before
It seems to me like the real answer is found in dumbing it down and focusing on what the culture actually is
Eventually you realise that it's kind of hostile, not just to normalfags but to regular 4chan culture
A 4channer can tolerate the gore and faggotry
But something that I realised recently is that it actually takes a lot of mental strength to engage with a puzzle
If you've ever seen a 4chan thread which poses a question, the majority of responses are just "fuck off" because the average person doesn't actually want to answer questions for fear of being wrong
This in my mind is the real answer as to why bantculture can't become mainstream and probably shouldn't

I kind of wanna go into more depth even though I've already blown through my daily quota of effortposting and then some
I said the majority of responses to question threads are "fuck off", but obviously the vast majority of people just lurk and say nothing whatsoever
There are also other people who make some kind of shitty joke as a way of undermining the question
They don't really do this maliciously most of the time
I find this kind of person the most interesting because in my experience it's not like they're not CAPABLE of answering the question, it's more like they don't have the mental strength to enter "serious mode" so instead they crack a joke so they can stay in "casual mode"
I think a lot of people assume that just because someone refuses to engage with a question that they're not smart enough to answer it, and I think it's a fundamental misconception and people just wanna fuck around and have fun yo

yeah i guess bant needs to be advertised as its own thing, its part of the evolution of niche internet forums, its not like 4chna or xitter, it needs to have its own name…. maybe a flag imageboard? this gives it a potential to actually grow giving how unique and appealing this terminology sounds
