I've been fiddling with Canvas for a while and yeah, it does get boring. But other people continue to use it so it must have some entertainment value. Just not for me, or for you.

What I think Canvas lacks compared to 4chan's imageboards is actual discussion. I'm a regular 4channer and have been for years. Canvas emphasizes images at the expense of text posts. What I like about 4chan is the often amusing, roaming, and dare I say occasionally insightful conversations that take place. If 4chan is like a comic book, Canvas is just a stream of funny pictures. Not my thing, but could be fun for others.

Agree completely. It's something we're working on.
