To all WPD subscribers.

Obviously there is no justifying removing the sub, especially when it's just a kneejerk reaction to a single tame video being posted, but you cannot ignore the fact that, despite what a huge amount of people have been claiming over the past few days, no, most people are not here to appreciate life more. It's morbid curiosity and entertainment. You can see in the comments of particularly gory videos, or lower quality videos, that a huge amount of people are just here to make fun of the video in that post.

Since subbing here a few years ago I am absolutely more careful when I'm out and about, but I'm not going to lie to myself that I don't think lesser of people I see on here get themselves killed in stupid ways, or flat out insult them.

In short, the admins need to grow some balls and accept that dying is a part of life and people will see death no matter what, and people subbed here need some integrity and accept that death, and the death of others, is completely fine to make fun of.
