Except I don’t frequent those subreddits. Sometimes an unknown risky click just finds you through typically not gore-oriented means.
Edit: And I bring up the gore subreddits to illustrate that access to NSFL stuff and tolerance for terrible things online was much higher for a long time.
For example, the video of ol’ Charlie Spurts getting it to the neck was all over Twitter for the first couple of hours after it happened. Link from a news site goes to the video, which was impossible to know what to expect until you see it.
Plus, news sites show or lin to video of war deaths from Ukraine all the time. Video of illegal strikes on fishing boats where people are killed.
Maybe people don’t realize what they’re seeing, but it seems disturbingly common for actual videos of actual deaths to just be regular news stories.
