It's not that you enjoy it. it's that you're there, looking at this stuff and going "oh my fucking god people fucking do this?!" and before you know it you've spent like nine hours looking at this crazy shit.

It's a weird sense of euphoric disconnection caused by overwhelming disbelief and mild shock. The internet version of sniffing glue.
