What is this article for?
This article exists to reveal the mechanics behind what makes a good YTMND other than simply saying "I like it because its funny"
The 9 variables that take place within a YTMND
- Humor
- Shock
- Abstract
- Clever
- Nostalgic
- High Effort
- Criticism
- Dead Horsishness(I made up a word)
- The Voter
Humor
The majority of YTMND sites will try to score points based on "lol Factor" (as they should there is nothing wrong with that)
If the site is extremely funny then you are atleast guaranteed a 
by the voters*
*Voting may vary depending on the voters mood,energy,awareness,etc. (text goes here)
Shock
The Shock(or surprise) factor of a site will either gain you very high or very low votes.
If the site is a shock site it will be 
}'d by the majority of the voters that pay attention the the recentley created section. Some users will 
the site just because but shock sites are inveitably doomed to sink into the Abyss of ytmnd with a 2.16 rating unless the site is sponsored.
Of course the goal of a shock site is to just get it viewed by people not to become a hall of famer
On the other hand a suprise site isn't designed to shock but normally it will be used to throw in a fad image to boost the "lol factor" although not as severe making a surprise site will generate very high or very low votes.
Abstract
Some users will make sites that people consider "artsy" but more so it is abstract (these sites have gotten sexymofo's seal of approval) zer0hue makes quite a few of the Abstract YTMND's as well as ROY4L, Sexymofo also makes abstract sites but due to his blatant downvoting they haven't gone much farther than a low 
rating.
Definition Of Abstract (text goes here)
Clever
The cleverness of a site is determined by how well a user manipulates the site mechanics. The best known exploit of the ytmnd-o-matic was the Holy Crap Its A Meteor! site
Another example of cleverness is a well placed pun ex: Seal Of Approval
Nostalgic
