At risk of being downvoted, I'm automatically very skeptical of any story I see on Reddit. I pretty much just instantly assume it's some kind of weird lie for online clout. The site culture there is very strange.
I can remember telling tons of lies on Reddit when I was a teenager, so I think your skepticism is valid.
Same. Tons of pepper get weird satisfaction out of it. I have no excuses. Reddit is cesspool anyway :)
I certainly wouldn't downvote you, even if I could, I'm skeptical of everything. Best way to be.
I'm not sure if there's any real unpaid actors non-bots on reddit anymore. I think they need to constantly pump it with bots and fake data to make it appear there's plenty of others...
