>As an aside: you've lost your way, /aM/ was never about advanced shitposts, just shitposts.
And despite personally having doubts about it I never tried to change it because I understood that it should promote activity and decrease whining. But then 2017, 2018 and 2019 passed. Tell me what happens when you keep whining on a board that tells you not to whine? When you have two incompatible elements grinding against each other one will eventually have to give. Everyone has their limits.
Take look at >>32951 when he says that something hit that 2D/Random spot while /AM/ doesn't do that anymore. When I first came to that site I've seen so many types of posts that used to frequent /aM/ that for a second I wondered if I wasn't thrown into alternate timeline where /am/ didn't get a Nito and there was never a revolt. This is the core of the problem not a goddamn 500 error.

>Nobody makes nice stuff because they want to contribute to a community.
but then you say
>But mostly, they post nice stuff they've made because it's topical because it was inspired by something they saw on the board.
Which is contributing to a community they at that moment find interest in.
If you find or think of some nice thing you want to share it with someone. That's a basic communal instinct or however you want to call it. That's how people seek to interact with others that share their hobbies/mindset unless they've been horribly hurt or suffer from mental illness.
