Jannies probably think they are maintaining "board culture" or some gay shit

its the jews man

probably limited storage space and bandwidth

some people say it's to stop screamer/jumpscare trolling

Others say it's the content that's most important on this board otherwise we'd just be a racist /gif/

but most likely it's cost restrictions.

>probably limited storage space and bandwidth
pol is a large #user board
not like others

>FBI honeypot
>cost restrictions
???

Just learn to read lips, gay nigger

It’d shit up the board. Flags even shits up the board a bit.

It's to save space on 4plebs I guess
and to save boards like /wsg/ and /gif/ from imploding

80% anime... flags shit up the politics board. Makes sense.

Good morning Bhai

I’ve heard it’s to prevent trolling but that’s a weak argument against

Audio is so much smaller than video. Storage wise it's almost no difference.

It's takes extra work to prevent audio, so it's not a lack of desire to improve the site. I believe it's to maintain the essence of an imageboard. If it was just webm's with sounds, imagine all the TikTok reposts. The Twitter reposts are bad enough as it is. We've always had gifs, so they are just gifs 2.0.

There would be no point to /wsg/ or /gif/ otherwise. That being said, I fully support site-wide sound, just so /gif/ can get deleted.

Fucking BBC shills are rampant there

"""""board culture"""""

its really gay. 8 was lightyears ahead years ago. Any Forums has no real competition anymore so they have no incentive do improve things

did not mean to reply to you.

I don't like 8kun because of its large Q following

true but with a max upload size of 4MB that barely leaves any room as it is.

A 1 minute long MP3 file at 256kbps bitrate takes up almost 2 megabytes of space.
MP3 is considered an inferior file format because it uses compression which worsens audio quality. If this site can't even accept a music clip that lasts more than 2 minutes then talking about vids with audio is basically pointless unless you want low quality vids that last a dozen seconds

Any Forums needs to increase max upload size to 20 or 30 MB but they won't do that

Because it would be nothing but ear rape. Do you really have no understanding, at all, of where you are? Actually, you must be oblivious, no one that has used this website for more than 5 years still posts cringe frog.

The fbi requested not to allow sound because their analyst are easily frightened by loud noises.

Main reason was so boards didn't largely devolve into streaming boards (like a Any Forums storytime where they play pirated films). Mix that in with people being assholes and throwing screamers all over and no thanks. The shitposters on some boards are already bad enough, imagine that extra level of power. People on /gif/ and /wsg/ can barely handle it as is

kun is shit i meant the site pire-tarrant

apart from the storage/bandwidth being total garbage you can literally mute webms on every other board and not hear them unless you unmute, all the excuses are bullshit and gookmoot is a stupid slope headed cunt. They wont do it because that would be convenient, and we cant have that, everything is obtusely difficult for no reason other than 'its always been like that'

pre-tarrant* cant type worth a shit tonight
