What happened?
My theory: Yas Forums has always used primarily by english-speaking poorfags with high speed internet. 10 years ago, rural communities were only starting to get broadband, so your average poorfag was in a urban/suburban community, most likely near a university where nerds bond over anime etc.
Only recently have kids in rural communities been able to "grow up on the internet", and they've brought with them their uncle's gun show-tier political bullshit.
there has been a noticeable drop in Yas Forums's collective IQ over the past decade. you used to be able to discuss pretty much anything anywhere on this site with intelligence, depth and nuance. now every board is polluted with this current of anti intellectualism. Yas Forums is probably the place where it's most noticeable. but go back in the archive to any board pre 2014 or so and you'll see that threads on any board were filled with paragraphs of interactions between anons. something rarely ever seen these days

Weebs are more of a birth year phenomenon. Today's weebs are but a shadow of the Naruto headband wearing autists of the last 15 years
Internet on the mobile phone happened, and every chuck buck stacy and and karen spread into the internet like a virus of dumb

This fits into OP theory.
The Yas Forums of old was soft gated by the proliferation of internet access, parents smart enough to have a computer and broadband but dumb enough to leave their kids unsupervised.
Previously, these kids were the misfits in suburbs and cities, living amongst educated people.
However, now the areas where anti-intellectualism has flourished for generations are finally jumping on the boat.
