We are thinking of buying ads on 4chan for leftypol.org
>Positions/Dimensions: 728x90 Leaderboard in both header and footer positions in desktop view, 300x250 Medium Rectangle in both header and footer positions in mobile view)
Format: JPG/PNG/GIF/WEBP
We need ads in both the formats and we're crowdsourcing it to you.
Also, theres a chance the ad buy may not be accepted by rapeape or whoever runs the site
>>38696I was thinking of something along the lines of "sick of your job? maybe you're just sick of capitalism!"
or something along those lines
probably put porky in there and the crying mcdonalds wagecuck wojak
>>38696We are looking for input from the Users on the board to give ideas on how approach this as we want to make inventive to advertise on 4chan.
Any creative idea is a go and we will pick which ones we find the best from the Community for our ads. I feel that it would be good for all on leftypol to come together like olds and create new OCs even if it is for ad space. WE can use them banners in the future.
Picrel an image with the correct dimensions so you can copy and paste into your preferred image editor.
Here's some quality images from lefty.pictures you can use for logos

>>38708>what other place should we advertise on insteadtwitter would be funny
I think you can also buy generic ads through google that can show up anywhere that uses their ad services, which might also be a good idea since it would bring in people from the wider internet and mix things up a little more than just 4chan burnouts. Just make sure the ads are clear about the politics so you filter for more left wing people.
>>38748Aside from the obvious and ridiculous elephant in the room for advertising (money), the problem is the chan culture divide; if you are habitually used to posting on 4chan you are more likely to engage with other imageboards.
This speaks to the demographic divide as well. It is far more propitious to spend say $100 on a brief 4chan click campaign in order to drive interaction than it is promoting the site to some Book Tok-er who reads Dostoyevsky and has anxiety attacks when they see the word retard.
>>38695Pretty low effort but I tried.
I've bought 4chan ads before and they never reject them since it's entirely automated.
>>38745It's like $20 to run an ad for an entire day. No money wasted really.
Also if the mods are curious last image is the CPM you can expect from a footer ad on boards with long-running generals like /vg/ and /vt/.
>>38758>1. What makes you think that 4chan is going to let a competing image board advertise on their website?They don't really care. I've seen ads for altchans, it's fine. This is their guidelines.
>2. Can you select the boards that the ads appear on? Don't advertise on /pol/. They'll find out even if you don't advertise on there through word of mouth (or shitpost, lol) alone.You can select the boards and the price varies. You should definitely always advertise on /pol/ though. They won't bother "harassing" you or whatever but it gets way waaaay more clicks because /pol/ posters are the only people who click ads.
Holy shit comrades learn what a 'target audience' is. Some of these suggestions like
>>38750 and
>>38722 [3] are esoteric that no-one will ever click it.
At least
>>38717 ,
>>38725 and
>>38732 are solid and actually have an appeal.
>>38755 is also solid.
>>38759Other boards are worth considering. Things have probably changed, but some boards were notoriously left wing.
lol should probably try /lit/ and /his/ first :^)>>38760>Maybe chan culture really has fallen this much.Yes. If /pol/ is mad, you'll get like one or two gore spammers and some soy kids, and that's about it.
Possibly more now, because the site has more petty babies who don't know how to handle a raid and will just feed the trolls.
>>387604chan lost its culture of being internet activists like 15 years ago. Nowadays /pol/ is just a place for various foreign intelligence agencies spreading propaganda. They won't go after anyone, their singular goal is getting big numbers on their psyop threads so Elon will pay them.
>>38761/lgbt/ or /r9k/ could be interesting since a lot of the people on those boards are like, nominally left-wing and looking for somewhere to hang out with other leftists without getting called a slur.
>>38767Nice.
That logo on the right is very blurry, can you redo that?
>>38775Most mobile users don't use adblockers unless it's a Brave browser with built in functionality
If you use chrome or firefox on mobile you are way more likely to see an ad, and you literally just put up with it
>>38777Mobile posters are also more likely to click ads just because the touchscreen misclicks while scrolling.
On that note though, it'd probably help to improve the landing page in some way so people accidentally clicking might be enticed to stick around.
>>38768Yeah, /mu/ and /co/ were the big two at the time. /co/ had a real crossover with Tumblr, despite the rivalry of the two sites over anti-sjw raiding. For crying out loud, their demonym isn't /co/mrade for nothing.
One example: picrel is a /coc/ original character who is (in part) a mockery of 1950s red scare propaganda in comics.
>>38768Boards like /fa/, /lit/ and /mu/ attracted a different demographic than the rest of 4chan. They were hipster art school kids instead of weird nerds.
I think the closest thing on the modern internet is the Red Scare podcast subreddit.
>>38787The metal thread is a chud shithole, they talk about NSBM every single thread even though it's a minuscule scene with like 5 decent bands at most and the rest is unlistenable lyrics over music bullshit.
The rest of the board is mostly OK.
>>38797You can target specific boards, I think /co/ + /his/ + /lit/ + lgbt/ + /mu/ is a good starting point. We can expand to more boards later.
What do you think of pic related for an ad? It's from a Trostkyst org but it's the most successful example of agitprop I've seen recently.
>>38797Yeah, we should actually advertise there also.
I'm tired of the pessimistic attitude. Yeah, let's not advertise an alternative to a fed captured subreddit. Just leave them to stew on a bourgeois propaganda outlet. That's really helping them and us. Great work comrade.
>>38790It is no longer
The internet hate machine but it is still
An internet hate machine.
>>38819Anon, anon, no, it's called
MUTUAL AID even if theres nothing mutual
>>38768The last I remember, which was probably around 2018, /mu/ was barely better than /tv/. I felt like a lot of the left and left-leaning base on /mu/ just ended up migrating to rym.
>>38697On principle I can't be against trying to reach more people but I'm just not sure the spam and shitposts would outweigh the benefit of attracting the few users there who would be persuaded through ads but wouldn't have ended up here naturally anyway.
It's not the 8gag days anymore, the current userbase and the apparatchik mods here don't want to deal with /pol/ution anymore nor do they have the intellectual means and stamina to do so.
>>38738This too.
>>38844Yeah you might want to pull our GIMP for that.
Here's a couple ways on how to add the underline to the font
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVvTOcJWUNEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehrh6iU0D-Q >>38847Don't care enough to put effort into it but if one of you wants to do that be my guest
I'm betting you fags will pick something extremely cringe that undermines the entire point of the advert. Porky may as well literally be the logo of this site, and the more traction it gains the better. It's instantly understandable along with
>>38755 and communicates an easily comprehensible sentiment that leaves little to no room for disdain or hostility at the message.
Rather than having some long dead figure for the Juche leadership that your mother brought you a body pillow of which you spoon every night whilst going to sleep maybe you fuckers can come up with two second ideas that might actually make you laugh and want to click an advert, rather than hot garbage like
>>38807 or
>>38731 I'm just gonna say…
>>38717 (me)
has the most potential to reach the widest group of people. It is known that the "housing crisis" is rampant in the West, and that 80% of posters on 4chan are from the West. (Not unlike here, lol.)
You may say:
>but it encourages anti-indian sentimentto which I would reply: racists already hate all ethnicities, but then again we already know that 60% of "white supremacists" in the West are basically INCEL-type mixed-raced little cucks… so?
You may say
>but then again… racism?yet the .gif goes on to portray Mao. If racists were triggered by "landlord Indian" (=problem) then they would also be triggered by the "communist solution," namely a Chinese guy named Mao (=solution).
I'm just saying, unironically, and without any regrets: my .gif was the
1. most high quality proposal
2. most likely to get the attention of 4chan browsers
3. plus most focused on the proletarianized population: namely, who work to be able to live, yet getting fucked from two sides: bourg & landlord
You may not like it, but my submission is the best so far.
>>38851 (me)
>to reach the widest group of peopleAll the other posts are like
<arcane references to early 20th century USSR propaganda vs. "porky"<or arcane references to "Mr. Luigi" – who, according to any decent analysis, was a mere terrorist who did the "right thing," while not being able to focus US audiences on the need of a wide-ranging "populist" (=communist) causeYes, I did in fact mogg every other submission ITT when I posted the superior
>>38717 (me) gif.
Yes, you can suck a dick.
<<<<<<<<<all of those cries about how "4chan is ((((((((culturally)))))))) problematicnobody cares, dude. Even if they are nazis and incels and whatever, statistically speaking they are most likely proles, like "us"
(protip: some of the most outspoken posters aren't actually proles.)So fuck it if they have "problematic views" according to YOUR
>>38840 (moron) POV. According to statistics the majority of them will be proles, getting absolutely FUCKED by minimum wages and rent.
>>38755Observe how one of the worst posts are getting inflated by our mostly US posteriat. Yes, they approve of something they know. Yet burgers are the lowest fucking lQ ppl on the Earth, worse, they have the least revolutionary potential since they are headed towards either a hitler-style coup or balkanization.
Now watch as our mods chose this disregarding the above facts for merely being "the most replied to post" ITT.
Ridiculous, idiotic, and shameful.
>>38840This is literally the fucking aegis this site has been functioning under for the last 5+ years
>you are culturally undiscoverable<get fuckedWe have been following this bloodgasm.exe way of living for 5 years PLUS and we saw our numbers dwindle, and some cultists (among our mod team) say that this is the way to go, woohoooo!
LOL, NO.
The communist way to go is to recruit wage workers, as many you can, regardless of their "problematic takes", and keep going and keep repeating it over and over again.
Literal Reddit libs, like _bloodgasim, would never understand or approve, so
FUCK HIM! >>38854>THE ONLY THING I CARE ABOUT IS GETTING AS MUCH INTERNATIONAL FUCKING PROLETARIANS HERE AS POSSIBLE!I feel like this should go without saying, but getting a bunch of people in a room together doesn't actually do a whole lot for you on its own.
4chan is full of culture war addicts, resentful incels, and outright neo-nazis. You can say their views don't matter, and in a sense they don't. But you're still dealing with people who've put idealistic moral values at the center of their thinking, rather than materialist economic and political ones. If you try to appeal to them on their terms, you're going to end up with a crowd of people that aren't actually there for the class struggle, and lose interest as soon as it comes up.
>>38865>>38866>>38867>>38868You done?
>>38870Notice how this "recipe" is class-neutral:
>getting a bunch of people in a room togetheruyghAH, IT IS NOT OUR INITIATIVE AS COMMUNISTS TO "GET A BUNCH OF PPL IN A ROOM", rather, we want to have a room filled with
PROLETARIANS.Read a fucking book, honestly!

produce stuff… Where are you in that spectrum, what do YOU ACTUALLY PRODUCE?!
>uhm, nothingwow, so why should we, proles producing stuff listen to your takes?!
>>38840Hello, dear "Bloodgasm," I have a problem with your take:
><lets just troll advertise to the gaggle of the worst scum imaginable who will have no qualms raiding this site with the worst shit imaginableYou overemphasize this group's CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE while under-emphasizing their actual position in terms of production.
You "hate" on supposedly "problematic" people, yet you fail to hate on the bourgeoisie. You are a literal Kautsky,
>This is like the stupidest thing I have ever fucking read, tantamount to literally self-nuking the site. Mods are you literally this retarded?The very moment "this site" starts to recruit based on class, you shudder and go into downsize_mode.png.
You are a literal fucking
CUNT.You do NOT add anything positive to this discussion.
My position?
"LONG LIVE THE WORKING CLASS!"
Your position?
>b-but what about them saying semi-problematic shit?!I literally own you, dog.
>>38872Why did you reply to me like three times? One reply will do.
>>38873>IT IS NOT OUR INITIATIVE AS COMMUNISTS TO "GET A BUNCH OF PPL IN A ROOM"That's basically exactly what I said?
><<b-b-but said proles will have "bad think"I didn't say that. I honest to god don't give a singular flying fuck about anyone's personal opinions on idpol issues. What I'm saying is that we should be weary of anyone who makes their personal opinions on these issues their personality, regardless of what said positions may be, because they care more about the idpol than the class struggle.
>>38874>>>>2103531 (You)>>>>2103532 (You)>>>>2103539 (You)>>>>2103545 (You)Lol nice job outing yourself faggot.
You're making an awful lot of assumptions about anonymous people on the internet, not just here but also about the fine folks on 4chan. For the record, I worked for a cleaning service until recently. Currently I'm unemployed, but I'm actively looking for a new job. Feel free to make of that what you will.
>>38852>we need racists, pedos, and neo-nazis to flood our dwindling site overseen by a skeleton crew of modsShit sounds like an op by people who truely want to tank this site. Kys.
>>38878>problematic Stfu lib, channers are abject retards who should not be allowed to have an opinion and are better off in a coal mine, one minute browsing /v/ proves this fact. This post better be bait, reaching out to incels and neets isn't connecting with the working class. If you think the nexus of working class connection is bringing in channers and this site, you seriously need to consider therapy at this point.
>>38879>I didn't say that. I honest to god don't give a singular flying fuck about anyone's personal opinions on idpol issues.Then let us advertise on 4ch, you moron!
>we should be weary of anyone who makes their personal opinions on these issues their personality, regardless of what said positions may be, because they care more about the idpol than the class struggle.Oh, no! There are proles and p-bourgs on 4ch, so we should not reach out to the proles!!!!!
>You're making an awful lot of assumptions about anonymous people on the internetAs a communist all I care about is: prole posters vs. landlord/p-bourg posters on Reddit/4chan/facebook/etc .
Can you say the same?!
If the leftypolitburo ultimately decide to use the Luigi ad I'd prefer
>>38820 because I put more effort into that version and I think a gif is more eyecatching.
>>38867If you're gonna advertise on an English-language imageboard then it needs to appeal to English-language politics. Same if you advertise on a Russian imageboard you should appeal to their local politics. That's just how it is. Moreover, Luigi has broad international appeal at this point. The guy became a Chinese celebrity virtually overnight on Douyin.
>>38881>let usI'm not stopping you from doing anything. I'm just some guy. Do whatever you want. I don't have to like it though.
>Oh, no! There are proles and p-bourgs on 4ch, so we should not reach out to the proles!!!!!4chan is used by idpol addicts. Feel free to extend the offer to them, but that's all you ought to do. Trying to appeal to them by convincing them their existing opinions are le leftist is how you get MAGAcoms and other forms of retardation.
(This is the funniest shit ever: literal gayfag incel opining over proletarian dominant POV.)>>38880>>>Shit sounds like an op by people who truely want to tank this site. Kys.The only "people" who "want to tank this site" is the people who think that shit can go on as-is for eternity, i.e. You.
Your ilk screened this site for
5 years in terms of "what you like" and what not. Meanwhile, the rest of us
want to focus on class backgrounds.
>Stfu libLMAO, you are literally calling someone a "lib," who as opposed to you wants to screen incoming users based on CLASS as opposed to your "culturally appropriate" screening. How pathetic is that?!
>This post better be baitIt's not. Actual communists want to recruit proles and farmers to this site as opposed to your ILK, who would prefer to have "members" who share the same idiotic takes on cultural politics. You are a literal fucking bourgeois propagandist who set backs class organization, fyi.
>>>>>If you think the nexus of working class connection is bringing in channers and this site, you seriously need to consider therapy at this point.All I'm thinking is, fellow moron, is that any site – be it Reddit, 4ch, Facebook, or leftypol – has a class composition, and that class composition can and SHOULD be targeted by a supposed class-conscious site like leftypol.
I literally SPIT on your COPES. I don't give a SINGLE SHIT about your eternal COPES about how "4CHAN SHOULD NOT BE TARGETED BECAUSE THEIR REGRESSIVE CULTURAL TAKES"………..
Nig, again, for the thousandths time, I literally don't give a SINGLE FUCKING SHIT about le "culture".
I only care about class position. And I'm more than ready to take in a dozen "ex-/pol/tard" proles than to celebrate so called "leftists" whose class position is basically students and middle class faggots.
Sorry, "bloodgasm," but as opposed to you, I remain to be a fervent
"WORKERIST, AKA COMMUNIST!" >>388841 - Confirmed compromised by american "troll farms" (duckduckgo Eglin AFB Reddit)
2 - Big subreddits consistently get either couped by some cabal to install a mysterious moderator with over 1000+ subreddits under their belt, or they get permabanned outright
3 - Karma system that hides or deletes unpopular posts enforces groupthink
4 - Combine 1 to 3 and you get 99% controlled discourse and artificial consent: the site
As an anecdotal experience, the subreddit of my country (Bolivia) is a bona fide echo chamber of US-cocksucking liberals
I've heard the same story about other 3rd world subreddits
>>38885>Actual communists want to recruit proles and farmersSo why are you going after 4chan NEETs? LMAO
>>38887Replying to youself like this is fucking pathetic
Your arguing with a strawman. Nobody here is anti4chan because they're problematic. We're anti4chan because they're goddamn retards
>>38889Stop monopolizing the thread you stupid uyghur. You look like a turbosperg. Kill yourself
>>38885>Meanwhile, the rest of us want to focus on class backgrounds.<on an anonymous imageboard Good luck with that.
>your "culturally appropriate" screeningThis isn't about what's appropriate, I just think they are idiotic scum. Literally bottom of the barrel reactionary retards who are not workers but most likely racist neets, incels, students, or just children man or otherwise.
>Nig, again, for the thousandths time, I literally don't give a SINGLE FUCKING SHIT about le "culture".I wasn't talking about culture, paying 4chan to bring in the dregs of society is a waste of money and will only further the decline of this site possibly irreparably. If the mods decide to do this, especially if this isn't for trolling purposes, this has to be a truly retarded move that will lead to a lot of stupid shit with they themselves looking as the biggest fools. I really, really hope this doesn't happen, especially with those reddit tier ads.
>>38885Listen, I appreciate your gif, it is the most quality submission so far. But you are being an insufferable faggot. 4chan users aren't "just proles", they are an established group of people that:
1) is declining across the board and only getting more insane and non-receptive to new ideas. I don't mean more radical, /vt/ is the most insane board and it's the only one not declining.
2) isn't getting any new members
3) already knows leftypol from all the insane polaks who bring it up in random threads on /g/ and other boards
Advertising among people who you are already getting free advertising with is dumb.
>>38893Maybe things have changed since I dropped 4chan, but back when I used it, the majority of 4chan users were students of some sort, followed by NEETs, followed by people working unproductive service jobs. It very much felt like the community skewed towards people in their teens and twenties. I know I spent the majority of my time on that site underage, starting at 14.
My theory is that most people outgrow 4chan by their 30s. The novelty of being able to say racial slurs without any long-term social consequence wears off sooner or later, and most people don't have much reason to be anonymous beyond that, so they leave. Those of us who
do have reason to post anonymously also leave, because 4chan simply isn't a very good imageboard. The people running it are inept and the Yotsuba engine it's running on is fairly dated from a design standpoint.
>>38695Newgene here.
Pls stop fighting.
I know you guys don't like me much but can you understand now my autistic rambling about how imageboards are paradoxically sheeple?
>>38898😂😂😂😂
>4chan is the last bastion of free speech>Has real people, not bots>Doesn't have any algorithmic presentationYou're joking right?
People get banned on 4chan like crazy.
Also while there isbt an algorithm, there's non stop posts whining about brown people, women, and kids.
There's no doubt that there's real people but they're often just the same old troll poster or AI scriptbot or "glowies".
Imageboards are more addictive than mainstream platforms.
>>38804>never denying itThis makes zero sense, the only time it even comes up is in the ISG thread when you get too confident and tell people you think wanting to prosecute pedophiles for sharing drawings of child rape is reactionary and 45 people immediately beat you to death. This is primarily a site about raping adults and advocating for the global south now, you are trapped in the furnace shoveling coal.
dealwithit.gif
>>38695As a trolling campaign, sure.
But you'd actually need to clamp down heavily on not only our reactionaries here, but reactionaries who may be invading.
I.e if you have people calling trans people "bourgoise degenerates" or start calling certain music genres "degenerate" etc. Clamp down on them.
Other than that, nothing good comes from appealing to /v/irgins or /pol/yps.

Nobody half-normal uses that site, stop being retarded its not even close to April.
>>38935I'd say it's both. Imageboards are deeply uncool now because 1. the posting interface is a dinosaur from the 2000s and 2. literal neo-nazi and incel mass shootings have been committed in its name. I just read a New Statesman article on 4chan's /lit/ which curtly introduced it as if it were the exact same userbase as /pol/.
But hey, 2000s aesthetics appear to be making a comeback among zoomers on Tiktok and Instagram. So maybe we can exploit that.
>>38926I reported the polyp obsessed by muslims and transhumans in the ukr thread, already 7hours and no ban in sight
yeah lets bring in more of them so half the threads are filled up with that filth!
>>38926We do report and the response we got was "there's not enough mods" or "the mods can't be here at all times". If either of these are the issue then /leftypol/ needs more mods along with new organization to deal with rules. Not fucking wasting time and energy putting ads on 4chan. Like I said this seems like a desperate attempt to get new blood into the site from the only other site large enough that has image board users. The problem is this is only going to attract the worst type of people when we already have shit where we eat.
It was mentioned in the Matrix chat (which still has the broken homepage link) that there may not be a way forward using an image board and if this is being considered as a solution that's looking to be the case.
Advertising on Hexbear is a great idea!
Just check out this wonderful thread
https://archive.ph/xwhUC>>38957do it yourself
>>38958sorry I don't respect 'i will make you a statistic' enough to write a longpost
>>38695Why would you buy ads on pol when you instantly ban people for wrongthink?
I’ve been banned many times and the reason always simply says “pol” with no other explanation given
Now that’s where you want to recruit people from?
>>38971That's a very specific corner-case that should probably be accounted for on a case-by-case basis.
If you're referring to loli, to my knowledge. Child anatomy is very easy to draw; stubby limbs and shorter bodies mean you don't have to worry as much about perspective, and their smoother bodies with less defined musculature make it very easy to break things down into basic shapes. It's a big part of why so many cartoon characters, especially human cartoon characters, are either children or look very childlike. And it's not like most loli has particularly
good child anatomy either. Most of it is pretty terrible, in fact.
>>38972The question was does the site allow it?
You jerking off to Steven Universe shaped shit is less common than what the Japanese pedophilia industry churns out for your consumption. Seriously you guys get turned on by Sans Undertale and shit. That's not a defense. This has been raised as a concern in courts for the same reason borderline animal torture videos have. It's not speculation on my part.
>>38973>You jerking off to Steven Universe shaped shitHuh?
>Seriously you guys get turned on by Sans Undertale and shit.Where the fuck did you get that from?
I was saying that it's unlikely that most of this stuff is traced. Nothing more, nothing less.
>>38975>Right, because you guys now want to fuck a Vaporeon.Who is this "you guys" you speak of? Vaporeon is an animal and also not real. I have zero desire to have sex with anything that isn't at bare minimum human in physique. The furthest I go is chubby (not morbidly obese!) furries, and even then, I draw a line at animal genitalia. Horse penises in particular are fucking gross.
Regardless, going for ad-homs on an anonymous imageboard is retarded and makes you look like a schizo.
