Not sure it was ever different.The site used to have a 'Shit is good' manifesto.
The popular page still means the best stuff rises to the top. People often click but don't comment.

It was better before, I'm surprised/disappointed you don't rememberThe funnies were more regular, funny, more varied. Maybe 4-5 years ago or so. I'm not talking about standard of photoshoppery or anything like that, I'm talking the type of humour. It used to have a bit more of an edge or a bit more wit, now it's just dumb bbc-primetime-esque comedy and undeserving, exaggerated praise. It wasn't like that before. Thinking up a post or a joke would take effort before, which might or might not be rewarded with laughs/praise, now we have a situation where people pat their mates on the back for whatever they cough onto the photoshop palette, no matter how lacking in originality or wit their post is.

If you put any number after...b3ta.com/board/archive/
it returns a mix of headswaps, lolrandom, memes and other stuff. All get praise.
It's always been a mixed bag. People just forget the shit.
(Which isn't to say we haven't lost some good members who raised the bar.)

I agree, there was shitbut, as you say, there was a whole lot more good stuff to make the shit tolerable. It had the effect of making the shit funny in itself. Now, it's just tedious shit-wading.
