seriously why does anyone ever browse this shit anymore?

You didn't leave though.

i just want to shoot the shit with people who share the same interests as me, and occasionally talk about that interest

I want that but for film. Veeky Forums has some good discussions occasionally (still love u when yr bad baby) but /tv/ is garbage...

AskLiteraryStudies is too patrician so I feel stupid when I don't understand a post, and the lack of shitposting makes me bored. Veeky Forums has the perfect balance between elitism and shitposting. You can act like a snob, but you rarely have to show it in any constructive way.

Reddit is only "reddity" on the defaults. Small subs like those are generally much better

kuso thread

Thanks for the tip, OP.
That group looks really good based on what I saw at the first page.

upboat

theres r/truefilm. i wonder why out of /mu/, Veeky Forums and /tv/, its /tv/ that has the least intelligent discussion and least patrician people
