The ratio of true to nonsense stories in this sub is better than my old RSS feed. Although it can't be healthy for me mentally, the fact isthat I turn to this sub during the day instead of the news.

I mean there still are some idiotic stories posted here, but comparatively, reading my Feedly or Google "news" just makes me want to drive straight into a freeway embankment.

Take everything with a grain of salt. Also, don't drive into the freeway embankment. You'll just come back as a fly who swarms on shit.... or a flea on my dog, dude, not cool. She doesn't like that.....

I start my day on the front page of /r/conspiracy . Everything else is just crap.

This. I can no longer stomach the comments on the other subs. The bluepill levels there hurt my soul.

At least the nonsense stuff is easy to pick out. The stories are usually dripping with religion (particularly ritualistic satanism... people really love that for whatever reason), numerology, symbolism, and other crap like that, and are often posted by the same idiots. So there's that. My only problem with them is that they (somehow) end up on the front page a bit too often and I think that's a huge deterrent to people that are looking at the sub for the first time and happen to see those posts.

"Wow, these two last posts actually seemed to make sense. I should read about that. Oh... this one a bit further is a link to a video of some guy who explains that the government's had inter-dimensional travel technology for years and is breeding an alien-looking race of super humans in hidden facilities and will use them to trick the population, but it will all be ok in the end and the Satanic Illuminati Masonic BBQ Elite won't triumph because Jesus is about to come back. Cool, I'll see myself out now."

Yeah.. I always try to downvote that stuff. And then I wonder who is posting such insane junk articles/videos and why are they trying to sabotage this sub.

I guess to some people (and especially the corporate-government interests), this sub represents "news porn"...It's stimulating and very compelling like real porn, but without the embarrassing browser history.
