Alright I’m going to go out on a limb and say that /r/WatchPeopleDie shouldn’t be lumped in with that other human trash.
Every month or so I would get morbidly curious and scroll that sub for ten or fifteen minutes. Firstly, the comments and posts never seemed… I don’t know I have the right word… sociopathic? gleeful? cruel?
The tone of the whole sub was much more somber. I always came away from that sub with a stark reminder that we are so so fragile, and our future can get snuffed out by the universe – sheer random chance – at any moment.
It made me want to live more in the present. Don’t take tomorrow for granted, and I saw a lot of the sort of thing in the comments.
A lot of the videos were just random shit, like pedestrians getting struck by a rogue tire flung from a car crash 500 feet away. Just totally senseless and sad… it put what’s important in perspective.

I only went to that sub a couple of times. All I’ve learned is to stay away from forklifts and ferris wheels.
