Who knows who is recommending posts? For example, several fail-type videos here have made the Greatest Page lately, and those are mindless humor at best and cruel at worst.

I sometimes recommend cuteness pics simply as a coping mechanism after reading post after post detailing right-wing crap.

I hope you reconsider.
