Ah, takes me back to the days of the early Internet, where you couldn't really be sure if you were going to get that video of a cute kitten playing with a butterfly or... that.
Aren't there several subreddits for exactly that? I haven't been in ages so I forgot the name(s), but either wholesome or disturbing, few inbetween. lol point is to gamble with the clicks.
Probably, but that used to be just all of reddit... and the rest of the Internet with it.
Not all of the internet. Just the weird places you might end up when looking for weird content.
It was better then, with more places to go to.
The point being, it wasn't ever fully clear what sort of place you were visiting up front.
