This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Schmooze booze.

I'm fine with marketing to gay people, but this feels like pandering.

All marketing is pandering. This company just saw a huge niche that hadn't yet been filled and jumped in. You're not wrong that it's somewhat exploitative, but all products are to some extent.
