Of course the other thing with imageboards is with some of the more niche topics, the community moved on to other shitholes (Discord, Twitter, Reddit come to mind) and the newer demographic in these communities doesn't give two shits about imageboards, or they're told they're Neo Nazis who are literally killing trans people.
Case in point; you will never see something like 8chan's /furry/ nowadays because aside from /trash/ on 4chan (which is in perpetual decline), a lot of posters from that board either trooned the fuck out (I know a few who did) and became Twitter addicts or left that scene for good. To make matters worse; the zoomers now joining the fandom got groomed over TikTok and only give a shit about wanting to be in a "community" and not about the talking animal part. They're not like weebs who were into some show and got obsessed with it. They want TikTok attention.
