It would be nice to see a sample of what you get before you have to sign up. But I'm assuming this will have the same problem I have with every other new service like this, the content just isn't interesting enough to make it wor

Anti-vaxers find not getting vaccinations useful, how does that work for the rest of society when they start getting other people sick, and bring back things that were once eradicated. A lot of people find not living in reality useful, AND

I found that the community on brilliant.org can be quite toxic. I was a member for awhile, but quit due to the people on the site.

This is why they made the last two seasons of Doctor Who so horrible; they aren't allowed to compete with good sci-fi shows.
