After <code>pnrtscr.com</code> gained popularity in mid 2020, the owner confessed to creating the [[website]] on the subreddit <code>r/screamer</code>. He did not create it with malicious intent but rather as an experiment to develop a modern screamer while testing evolving browsers, intending it as a means for people to startle their friends. The website used the domain pnrtscr.com, closely resembling the original [https://app.prntscr.com/ Lightshot screenshot tool]'s domain, <code>prntscr.com</code>. Upon discovering that modern browsers no longer supported auto-play for [[videos]], the website incorporated a fake cookie banner. Such banners have become commonplace on websites and are often accepted by visitors without a second thought. However, in this instance, accepting the cookie banner triggered the screamer on the website. Additionally, a link to the website's source code was provided in the post.<ref>reddit.com/r/screamer/comments/ly89ct/pnrtscrcom_the_ultimate_lightshot_screamer/</ref><ref>https://github.com/mathhulk/pnrtscr.com - Source code</ref> | After <code>pnrtscr.com</code> gained popularity in mid 2020, the owner confessed to creating the [[website]] on the subreddit <code>r/screamer</code>.

The Reddit 50/50 challenge, featured on the subreddit <code>r/fiftyfifty</code>, has garnered significant attention for its shock value. The challenge presents users with a post that typically contains two options and are often labeled with tags such as ''NSFW'' (Not Safe for Work), ''NSFL'' (Not Safe for Life), or ''SFW'' (Safe for Work). The challenge's allure lies in the element of surprise: when users click on the post, they are presented with either a link, a blurred image, or a .[[gif]] that reveals its content upon clicking. It's important to note that the challenge is known for its surprises but is considered relatively tame compared to more extreme content found on the internet. Notably, it refrains from featuring self-harm, animal cruelty, or illegal content, distinguishing it from more controversial shock sites like [[Stile Project]].<ref>reddit.com/r/FiftyFifty/</ref> | The Reddit 50/50 challenge, featured on the subreddit <code>r/fiftyfifty</code>, has garnered significant attention for its shock value.
