I think it ' s somewhat of a curiosity or way to obtain a bit of an adrenaline rush much like rsweatypalms or rdontlookdownThe problem with this sub is that it ' s become so popular that we ' re seeing an influx of people who A Don ' t understand the definition B aren ' t thalassophobes C Repost constantlyD Have absolutely no mod interaction to help restore this place to what it once wasAs someone with this specific phobia , it excites me to view pictures like these and makes my imagination run wild i . e . What would I do if put in this situation ? It ' s a very fun place that has gone downhill steadily and will continue to do so and it ' s very unfortunate . I will most likely create a post to get the mods attention and give it one last go before I unsub . anyone willing to help , please let me know
