This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It was definitely a reluctant downvote from my side as well. But I feel this community is honestly abused and not living up to its name with the amount of "VeryInteresting" content.
