The "magic" of Caltrops is that there is a group of people that point out terrible, awful content and then fight with each other about it. It's a group of people -- all of whom are utterly free to leave at any time -- that say the most hurtful things imaginable to each other because someone else, a third party, made a terrible web comic or movie or book or awful video game. Everyone is angrier for having visited, but none of us can seem to stop coming. The shitty content leads to a bunch of lunatics yelling at each other, because the creators of that content would never come here directly.
