The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

every time i post on 4chan i get a captcha that is almost impossible to solve
i wrote a pro-jewish post in a 4chan thread about hezbollah and didn't receive a captcha
is it possible 4chan has a LLM that rates posts according to some hidden criteria and requests a captcha based on this
it could also be a weird coincidence and maybe 4chan has completely disabled their captcha because the 4chan captcha is very use hostile
There’s been a lot of weird stuff on 4chan lately. I’m pretty sure all the top level posts are created by the janitors now, and they immediately slide or prune any organic top level posts made by anons. They’re now taking steps to make posting as difficult as possible: long wait times, more difficult captchas, range banning entire IPs. Except those restrictions only apply to organic posters, the actual shills post just as much as they did before with ease. I think someone is attempting to turn 4chan into a consensus manufacturing bot-farm like Reddit, or to just make it so unpleasant to use that everyone leaves.
Or just a way to sell more VIP passes? I dont think they make much from ad revenue, so those are the only thing funding the site
