what happened to div4s?
By CarViz, history, 10 months ago, In English

ive been doing codeforces for two months and ive only done one div4 and it wasnt even made by cry. when do i get my turn pops? we need a golden era for newbies and pupil alike to get to experience the true codeforces experience. i think div4s are really the only chance new people get at solving more than 2-3 questions in a contest, and the current drought of them we are experiencing is polluting (india) our lower rated participants in contests with cheaters. we need to build the next generation of forcers and we arent doing a good job with that.

Solving only div4s will not help you to a big extent

      Div4 problems are kinda specific. Solving only d4 will help you get the hang of what codeforces is about, but you won't see how to do lots of other problems that require more thinking.

Div4s problems are so generic and mundane it should be discontinued

(And, two years ago I had the same question as yours, but I realized how bad Div4 has become)
