Those who don’t are still morbidly curious, and seek to satiate their curiosity by asking the others for a written-out explanation of the material. However, once the link has been offered, it is easy to distinguish two distinct types of readers who react to the offer - those who click and risk being disturbed (which one user describes as the “bravado Redditors”) - and those who don’t.

In one amazing instant, a Redditor refuses to “give up” a clip of a policeman being murdered, but another Redditor steps up to supply it. Sometimes the video/audio clip is not posted by the same Redditor who describes it - other Redditors will actively search for the link, in order to supply it to the general public. However, usually accompanied by a short description of the video/audio clip, there is a link posted that grants the viewer access to the material.
#SCARIEST VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET ICEBERG TV#
One video clip is not violence at all, but a TV hijacking incident that has never been explained. However, the type of violence varies - buildings on fire, a man being decapitated, mass suicides. The video and audio recordings submitted to this thread are united usually by material depicting violence from and towards human beings, which one Redditor makes a point to observe. Within these mere eight pages, the text explores themes of intensifying variety, from access to Internet materials, to personal experiences of trauma and witnessing trauma, to police brutality, to what it means to be human. However, during my years of experience as a Redditor, one question in particular stands out in my memories as triggering the most revealing and captivating responses - “What is the scariest video/audio recording you’ve come across?” Out of the seemingly infinite pages of replies that this question has spawned, I compiled only the first eight. Who do you choose and what do you do?”īasically, /r/AskReddit is a goldmine of conceptual literature waiting to happen. Some of these questions are light-hearted: “What joke is so stupid that it’s funny?” Some of these questions are serious and personal: “Teen fathers, what did you do when you found out she was pregnant and how did you deal with it?” And some of these questions are hypothetical situations, that beg for a little creativity: “You have thirty minutes to do anything with any celebrity you choose. There is a subreddit for images of interesting staircases around the world ( /r/crazystairs).īut what I find to be the juiciest subreddit by far is /r/AskReddit, where Redditors can ask one question at a time to the broader Reddit community. There is a subreddit for the care and keeping of tarantulas ( /r/tarantulas). Materials and comments that are considered the funniest, the most meaningful, the most important, or the most ‘need-to-be-seen’ - are “upvoted.” The disliked links or comments are “downvoted.” This ensures that “the hottest stories rise to the top, while cooler stories sink.” Depending on your interests, whatever they may be - and I stress whatever - one can subscribe to corresponding “subreddits.” There are subreddits for hobbies, competitions, advice, porn - you name it. Reddit is like other link sharing platforms, such as YouTube and Facebook, because there is a point system in place that determines which materials and comments surface to the top of the thread - to become the first thing one sees when the page is opened. Anyone can submit material or comment on submitted material, as long as you create a username and a password. Reddit describes itself as the front page of the internet - it is a display case of information and materials collected and submitted by members of the community, following very specific themes and rules, for the purpose of raising awareness and generating discussion.
