On dark corners of the web, communities are being built around watching the vilest content imaginable - videos of maiming, murders, suicide. But who are the people watching this stuff? And why do they do it? I spoke to some of them for @VICE vice.com/en/article/who…

@KantPredict hey Patrick - sent you a dm. Not sure if you’ve seen it as we’re not following each other. Thanks, Hayden

@JTatrai hi Jeno, I’m a journalist - can you follow me so I can message you about something please?

@JTatrai Hi Jeno, I’m a journalist - looking to ask you a couple of questions about a review I think you left about a tipping app. Let me know if you can help

@Narcomania Stayed here in Feb - more well worn than pics make it look but still really nice. The fireplace was class. Loads of nice flats on Airbnb I think airbnb.com/slink/ri9SZt1y

Looking for tip for good place to stay in Essaouira? 🌊 🇲🇦

@flissmc Hi Fliss, I'm a journalist at The Guardian. Can you follow me so I can DM you please?

Some people believe that all celebrities - from The Rock to Paul Mescal - are secretly trans. I wrote about one of the weirdest conspiracy theories out there for @VICEUK vice.com/en/article/3ak…

Influencers are encouraging people to rent flats, fill them with Ikea furniture and put them on Airbnb for profit... what could possibly go wrong? Me for @VICEUK

My important dispatch from Brum

Residents at two of London’s most bougie co-living spaces told me their horror stories about break-ins, poor maintenance and rip-off prices. It’s all gone a bit High Rise. vice.com/en/article/epz…

I spoke to storm chaser @AaronRigsbyOSC about his career documenting extreme weather and witnessing the effects of climate change first hand businessinsider.com/storm-chaser-j…

@DopplerJess hey Jess, could you follow back so I can DM you? Thanks, Hayden

Me for @VICEUK - from fake delivery texts to monkey jizz coin, 2021 was the year of the scam vice.com/en/article/4aw…

I spoke to Richard, who pulled himself out of £6k debt by working 16 hour days in social care for elderly people at the height of the pandemic

@thisisinsider The scam consists of Tinder accounts appearing to be from China + HK convincing people to invest in a cryptocurrency called "PBM". It doesn't exist, but that doesn't seem to stop loads of people falling for it: reddit.com/r/Scams/commen…

For @ThisIsInsider: I spoke to someone who thought he'd found his perfect match on Tinder, only to end up losing £££ to her on a crypto scam businessinsider.com/dating-app-mat… (£)

@jack_sommers I’d do another longish distance (without pushing it) around a week before. Then you’ll be recovered in time and know you can def do the distance
