    Of course if you come up with a new idea that is very good, or you put a lot of effort into certain threads (Like GoodBoyKarus stream threads) they might blow up.

    Most of them however, don't and the ones that do get a lot of views and responses are ones that are people falling for bait or a controversial nerf/buff topic.

    If compared to TV shows, it's the equivalent of realty tv: Dumb as Hell, but gets views.
