As journalists, our job is to dig deep into stories. And sometimes, we dig far deeper than we ever thought possible. And those deep dives will often become our most interesting stories.

And finding those stories usually follows a pattern.

Something catches your eye, it draws you in. You start doing a little research on it.

Then you find something that makes us go, “Huh…”

You start pulling the thread, follow the bread crumbs, and slowly you find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes. 

And so we wanted to know, what rabbit holes all of you have gone down? We thought it might be things like wellness influencers, grifts, maybe some MLM scheme. But, the reality was both a lot more normal, and to be honest, a little bit weirder.
