YTMND: Difference between revisions

Although YTMND did not promote screamers or shock sites, both types of content were present on the platform. Some users created and shared screamers by embedding them into seemingly harmless GIFs, images, or videos, contributing to YTMND's reputation as a chaotic and unpredictable place. Similarly, some YTMND users created shock sites featuring disturbing or offensive content, which led to controversy and criticism. In response, YTMND's creator, Max Goldberg, implemented new content guidelines that prohibited sharing shock sites or other offensive content. However, enforcing these guidelines was difficult, and some users continued to create and share shocking content on the site. Despite its history with screamers and shock sites, it's important to note that these types of content were never a part of YTMND's official content or purpose, as the platform primarily focused on user-generated content in the form of short loops with accompanying sound clips. One known shock site from YTMND was the original [[Meatspin]] mirror, Ridin Spinnaz. YTMND officially closed down in 2018 due to financial difficulties and a lack of interest.
