This is neat, but the tags don't make for a great first impression. #gore, #violence, #beating, #shot to death. It's all well and good if people are into that, but probably a turnoff to the average user that comes across the site.



#suicide This channel has been created for you based on this tag.

At first I read this as: #suicide channel has been created for you based on our magic algorithms.

It is a bit creepy in that way.


Movies in Tops page are based on what people are most interested in, which is a sobering thought. When first loaded the channel selection is random. But there are definitely some depressing/dark tags in the db.


Yeah, to be honest, "topless female nudity" was not the phrase I expected to see.


I agree. I was presented with #male nudity...


Yeah we need to work on the Tops page algorithms a bit. Thanks for the feedback and checking out the site.


I would add that these were selected based on what people were most interested in.
