The past decade has seen a boom in true crime content, with just about every lurid historical transgression you could name being explored in documentaries and podcasts, and dramatised in film. These content creators and their fans effectively represent the more extreme end of the true crime community, somewhat removed from the bubbly podcast hosts and omnipresent Squarespace ads. Plagued Moth’s videos alone have racked up over 30 million views, and he maintains a Patreon where he shares uncensored content with his most committed fans.

One of his more popular video series uses the popular “iceberg” tier meme to explore more and more depraved content: as you travel further below the surface, the content gets both rarer and worse. He, and others like him, act as guides for those who might be too squeamish to actually watch the videos in question. Whereas much mainstream true crime these days hides its more lurid motivations under (often dubious) journalistic pretensions, these content creators are far more honest about their mission: they want to scare the shit out of you. Everything from cartel executions to violent traffic accidents falls under his purview, and is dissected for an audience that ranges in disposition from eager to squeamish.
Plagued Moth is particularly interested in and knowledgeable about gore content: videos that depict people being killed, maimed and tortured that are passed around and shared in the seedier alleyways of the internet. They share and dissect real-life stories and videos of violence, murder and death like they’re horror movies. This is a video from the YouTube channel of Plagued Moth, a leading content creator in a loosely organised online community who describe themselves as explorers of the darker side of human experience.
