Just going over the various recent posts, most of them are from brand new accounts that then get deleted. Many of them are from people saying they’re from foreign countries yet the OP speaks perfect English. In one case I mentioned that the username was the same as a Reddit/Instagram user…

Hell, the most recent one (Kazak person that was kidnapped)? They were taught Kazak and English by their kidnapper? Kazak and Russian sure, but English? I call bullshit.

    There’s a lot of fake everything.

    I recently saw a pair of AITA posts with nearly identical stories, just with the genders reversed. It was a transparent attempt to gather data on gender differences when it comes to relationship advice.

    Nothing is real. These are just words on a screen.

      Oh man, on Reddit that was a classic and usually just done so people could point out people’s hypocrisy (no data gathering goal).

        But Reddit caught on eventually and unified the advice.

        Lawyer up, hit the gym.
