Depends how much money I get

In all seriousness, I love that the community bought in to the theme and started engaging as well as sharing content that I've never heard of. I think that's the beauty of it, learning stuff you normally wouldn't know through conventional means.

We also wanted to stray away from the serial killers/murders that the OG subreddit was known for by keeping those to the minimum and posting more obscure factoids, at the expense of entries that's "not creepy" - but you can't please everyone.

Very poetic thank you.
