{{Controversial|header=This wiki page is about a controversial topic/person.|body=Please proceed with caution.}}

Since the start of the 2020s, many users have believed that OWOT is on a decline.

Some popular reasons cited for the site's downfall include an access of [[spam]] and a shortage of [[moderation]], which has made [[Spawn]] a rather inhospitable place in recent years.

Many [[Anon|anons]](''and edgier community members'') also attribute an influx of minors to the community's decline. It is a somewhat common sentiment that [[Fp|FP]] and [[Fernsy|other moderators]] are increasing censorship in order to keep the site "kid-friendly."

<blockquote>''OWOT's community largely consists of faggots who behave as one large circlejerk.

The OWOT community is only becoming an echo chamber, where the circlejerk's opinions are the loudest.''

Anons (''usually those who have been on the site for a significantly long time'') can frequently be seen voicing their opinions about the downfall of OWOT in [[Chat|Global Chat]].

''OWOT is already destined to fall as the circlejerk faggots find less faggots like them, while they indirectly fend off any normal people off the site, thinking that the site was made for them and ONLY for them, and due to this lack of userbase begin to quit to other faggot sites. Due to this, OWOT will eventually shut down, and because of their crippling addictions to the site, they will cry and feel grief over such a fucking tiny event.. These "feelings" however, are natural due to their brains being 24/7/365 addicted to OWOT, and eventually they will simply forget about OWOT like as if it never existed.''

''Unfortunately, it is very likely that the circlejerk will make a new OWOT, just to furthen their addictions to the site, like how drug addicts seek alternative drugs to continue their addiction when their favorite ones are suddenly unavailable to them. Because that's what OWOT's "community" is, a bunch of highly addicted and terminally online faggots who talk about the same topics all year round while kicking out those who they find unfit for their circlejerk, but not before making fun of them even after they're kicked.''

''OWOT is going to die, and it will take down all the faggots with it. Any braindead jokes you make of this text are not funny at all and prove how fucking stupid all of you are, just like how almost all of humanity is subdued, illusioned, deceived, tricked and brainwashed by the government to make sure that those who are in power and in control remain as such, without giving a shit about the ethics (because to them, ethics is just a synonym for deception).''

''This will probably never go anywhere though, and I will only be dismissed as a crazy faggot, just like how people who know the lies and tricks of those up in the hierarchy are dismissed as conspiracy theorists (because that's what they want society to believe). Fuck all of you.''

(Among other things) they tend to express a hatred for underage, transgender and/or furry users, blaming them for what they believe is an increase in censorship across all parts of the site. They describe these users as being part of a "clique," which the site's moderators protect by banning offensive speech.

This elite occupies a figurative "island", largely detached from the wider OWOT community, yet disproportionately visible and influential to the site's ruling class.''

''All aspects of this dynamic are problematic. Within the elite, a form of self-regulation is carried out to ensure that all members conform to the existing ideology. The ruling class, on the other hand, is stagnant. Having implemented little constructive change in nearly a year, their power largely derives from the dying momentum of this site.''

''A powerful clique is thus formed, its members engaging in form of regulatory capture, advocating for increasingly tight restrictions on the freedom of the many in order to serve the special interests of the few. This phenomenon is apparent without the need for excessive elaboration.''

''This power imbalance is sustained by two factors: the perceived lack of leverage among ordinary users, as well as the overrepresentation of this exclusive elite in the eyes of the ruling class. A tool must exist to offset this power imbalance by giving the disadvantaged majority access to a real means of change, following the principles of open source.''
