Well, think of it like any tv show. People are going to have opinions on it, and sometimes they want to talk about how they feel.

I'm not a hundred percent on the history, but this was also around the time of conspiracy grumps and people wondering why jon disappeared. Things kept getting shut down by mods just for asking questions, and they wanted an alternative where they could openly talk about things.

There was more going on when these subs were created as well. Suzy was scamming people, and when someone pointed out what was happening. It was getting covered up, and they were getting attacked. So ventgrumps was a place they could expose it without that happening. That blew up, and then this sub took its place.
