    When I first found reddit (around 2012) it had a good amount of picture and video posts, but people often made text posts. I recall it being completely full of not just regular media, but psycho shit too: goatse, broken jar in the butt guy, posts on r/drugs about people ingesting whatever they could get their hands on, etc. I think it was really the first website I encountered where you could find forums for anything; you could go from browsing r/WTF one minute to r/aww the next and forget about all the crazy shit you just witnessed.
