You know you've found something interesting when you stumble upon a website that describes itself as "Probably the Best Site in The World." For some people, however, theCHIVE is considered one of the Internet's most juvenile sharing sites. But that's probably what makes theCHIVE so fun. The people who use it know that it's cheeky and essentially junk food for the Internet soul. Basically, theCHIVE is an entertainment site and mobile app that is updated with photos and videos that appeal to mostly college and teen users. The photos range from being incredibly random and funny to shameless selfies of beautiful women and well-known models. Most of these photos and videos are either curated by a team of editors or submitted by users who want their junk to be seen by 14 year olds. Why It's Going To Rule... theCHIVE has excelled at developing its own tribe of fans and loyal followers. They sell loads of merchandise branded with inside jokes and references that "only theCHIVE members would understand." This has propelled them to becoming one of the few mobile apps that actually makes some decent money, especially as they continue to form more business avenues in the form of their own dating website and even a charity.
