Content
The main focus of the site is on the videos, which consist of short clips of varying humorous merit. These often include home video footage of people being injured, usually as a result of their own recklessness or foolishness, but may also include television clips and viral videos. The content in many ways echoes that of the MTV series Jackass. Generally, any video has a chance at being featured so long as it is humorous or entertaining in some way.
Visitors are able to rank site material on a scale of 1 to 5 (recently changed from a scale of 1 to 10), which is factored into an average score. Users can also comment on each individual entry. In January 2006, Break.com introduced a new file hosting system for its users to share their files.
Break.com has an Alexa rating hovering in the high 200s (as of September, 2006).[1]
Culture
A tradition that has arisen in Break discussions is a tendency of certain users to insist that submitted material is "fake." This likely first arose from a reasonable skepticism that some of the content posted on Break consisted of staged "injuries" or "pranks" aimed at garnishing payment for being posted on the main page. These claims have since evolved into a kind of self-mockery, with users now insisting that even material depicting thoroughly-verified news events is fake.
