> fetishization of violent content [...] few videos taken out of context

it's literally the opposite, it's not for the of violence, it's the unadulterated content: every other outlet either filter or worse, "narrates" hevaily cut snippets out of source material.

and we already live in a bubble as it is. having some amount of "ground truth" was certainly better than none.

and I said as one that steered clear from the site itself most of the time.




The snipping in particular is pretty cancerous. Distilling a five hour event or talk into a 2 minute highlights reel loses all nuance.
