Content
Visitors were once able to rank site material on a scale of 1 to 5, but Break has since replaced this feature with a thumbs up/thumbs down system. Negative scores are not allowed on videos - a "thumb down" simply counteracts the vote of a "thumb up." Users can also comment on most of the individual entries.

As of July 2008, Break is one of the 300 most
