The story
On 5ch’s Hello!Project board, nicknamed “the Wolf,” discussion kicked off in the Juice=Juice thread after a poster complained that copypasta spam had made the thread so heavy it wouldn’t load anymore. Some said that dodging the spam had left them out of the loop on the group’s recent activities, while others countered that the board was only ever used to get information from thread titles anyway, so the actual content didn’t matter. Some pointed out that setting NG (blocked) words would lighten the load and fix the spam problem, but opinions split between those who’d lost interest now that their only source of information had stopped functioning, and those who called that just plain apathy hiding behind the spam as an excuse.
What people said
Thread titles alone are way too short to give you much information.
So what DO you follow normally then? Underground idols?
Naturally you start ignoring the Juice thread.
And then you fall out of the loop on what they're doing.
If you use ChMate (a mobile browser app), cutting down NG words makes it lighter.
But this thread hasn't been spammed, so you already saw the info in Re: #11, didn't you?
You saw it and you're just doing the "la la la, I can't hear you" thing — that's you in this thread.
Even if this turns out to be fake news, I wouldn't know and I can't be bothered to check.
You're clearly interested enough to post that.
You wouldn't have even made this thread if you weren't interested in the first place.
You wouldn't start a thread called "I have no idea what Rosy Chronicle is up to," would you?
For the record, not a single bit of it is fake.
Hope the Christmas event ends up with an early-round lottery frenzy.
You don't actually care about Juice or Angerme either, do you.
I don't even know who you are, so you're not exactly credible.
Lol, as if you're someone people trust either.
Oh, is that so, lol.
Too bad for you.
Re: #32
Hate to admit it, but you have to call this a win for the copypasta.
Meanwhile Juice=Juice fans are happily hopping from one fresh-news thread to the next.
Theory: he's pasting so much he doesn't even know what's in the thread anymore.
Maybe so, but I've also stopped checking the content myself, so it seems to work great.
That's basically what the Wolf is now.
Sounds like you're on a cheap data plan.
What do you even watch normally then?
I'll just say "I've lost interest in whatever you're interested in" right back, so tell me.
What do you think it is?
X has way too much noise, I can't even be bothered to look.
My only source of info — the Wolf — broke down, so I lost interest.
If it's noise you're worried about, the Wolf's always had more of it than X.
Someone who relies on the Wolf as their info source 👈 what's your gender and age?
Since I only look at thread titles, all I know about is Juice=Juice.
Meanwhile groups that AREN'T being spammed are bombing so hard it's brutal — go cheer them on with some numbers.
In my case I'm actually the one spamming Juice=Juice threads on purpose, just to lure in trolls for fun.
Then make a separate thread just for luring them in.
The goal of spreading information is already accomplished by the thread title and the thread's momentum, so it doesn't matter what happens to the content.
In the end, the thread title is the one thing copypasta can't ruin — that's its limit.
Background and Points of Debate
“The Wolf” is the nickname for 5ch’s Hello!Project board, where group-specific threads serve as the main hub fans use to exchange information. These threads have long been prime targets for “copypasta spam” — the repeated posting of identical content — which slows page loading and drives readers away. As mentioned in the discussion, dedicated browser apps like ChMate let users hide flagged posts by setting NG (blocked) words, easing the perceived slowdown, though the underlying spam posts themselves remain. What divided this thread was whether the loss of information should be blamed on the spam itself, or simply on the individual’s own waning interest — with the latter camp pointing out, somewhat paradoxically, that the very post being discussed did get a reaction out of people. There was also a side conversation about whether posters were more invested in Juice=Juice or Angerme, though this reflected differences in individual fans’ enthusiasm rather than any factual matter, and the thread reached no overall conclusion.
