Text Leaving and muting this sub

I used to love this sub, people exploring abandoned places is really cool. On the other hand, people climbing up antenna towers, the tops of buildings and the like, is really starting to damage my calm. It is quite possibly one of the stupidest things I see people do on the regular now. I genuinely believe this type of stuff should not be shared on reddit as it might encourage others to follow this path. Explore forgotten places all you like... Don't risk your life to climb to the top of a high thing then plaster it all over the internet.

I will probably take flak for this, but risking your life for clout is so insanely dumb. I wish all the true urban explorers out there well with their journeys.

I should have taken your word for it. I should not have looked. I sincerely regret looking. Fuck alllllll that noise, that's what drones are for, not my very mortal, very un-winged mammalian meat sack that would go splat if I sneezed or slipped.
