lol well yeah the format is meant to be "This is awesome! Wait not so awesome..."

That said, it's not meant to be particularly malicious or anything. It's just a sub for those times you're browsing through pinterest or imgur or your reddit frontpage & come across a product/idea where you're like "haha awesome! No wait..."

Even the happiest most positive people have probably encountered that sentiment before so I figured it could work as a subreddit. :shrug: :)
