It's pretty funny. I wouldn't call it great I guess. I know I shouldn't be laughing but I do anyway. It's pretty easy to see why it attracts shitty people and probably reinforces their shitty beliefs. They also just do the same like 5 bits over and over again. I have no idea why anyone would pay for their premium content. I guess I like it because it reminds me of hanging out with my friends in middle school trying to think of the stupidest shit in the world to make each other laugh.
I think their appeal is similar to Felix's appeal. They're mostly for guys born in 1988-1992 who want to live in 2004-2007 again.

Exactly. I can’t cram intellectual information in my head all day every day. Listening to cumtown and just shutting my brain off and drooling is relaxing
