Creative writing presented as truth
Oh man, this is something I definitely hope to never see again. I'm so tired of the unbelievable TIFUs, AITAs, and/or OffMyChests with thousands of upvotes that had obviously fake stories.
The worst one (in recent history) was that TIFU with the student who slept with their professor's daughter.

I hope this kind of bullshit never happens here.
It will, there will always be charlatans looking to get their jollies by lying for an audience.
I sometimes wonder if Reddit was hiring writers to write those posts to drive engagement.
I thought that was actually the point now. Just make up the craziest scenario you can think of and then get rated on it.
"AITA for having sex on the space station with a Russian cosmonaut and accidentally creating an international incident?"
Fucking A they were. No one can convince me otherwise. There was a style of writing that became obvious with the writers idiosyncrasies seeping through all the time with some very uncommon phrases and words being used that normal peons simply do not use.
And then there were the writing themes that would create engagement over a week-long period to boot by these same writers.
