Alright I’m going to go out on a limb and say that /r/WatchPeopleDie shouldn’t be lumped in with that other human trash.
Every month or so I would get morbidly curious and scroll that sub for ten or fifteen minutes. Firstly, the comments and posts never seemed… I don’t know I have the right word… sociopathic? Gleeful? Cruel?
The tone of the whole sub was much more somber. I always came away from that sub with a stark reminder that we are so so fragile, and our future can get snuffed out by the universe – sheer random chance – at any moment.
To be it was a reminder to live more in the moment. Don’t take tomorrow for granted, and I saw a lot of the sort of thing in the comments.
A lot of the videos were just random shit pedestrians getting hit with a tire from a car crash 500 feet away. Just totally senseless and sad… but in a way that helps put what’s important in perspective.
