    It’s simply ragebait. It’s a global phenomenon but I’d say Reddit embraced it as their primary feature, even more so than gd Facebook.

    I’m not immune to it either, though my brand of ragebait is more in the /collapse and /antiwork spheres.

      /antiwork lost its way on reddit… If it ever had it, but deff got a lot of normies asking the right questions 🐸

    Its incredibly depressing how popular “Creative Writing: The Subreddit” has become.

      I posted a bullshit story on there once. Watching people discuss and argue over a fake story was good fun.

    I found this sub entertaining for like 2 days after I found it…

    Later it was clear it was full of people fishing for praise, people rage baiting or just assholes

    In any case, like 99.9% of Reddit, it was clearly not good use of anyone’s time

    It’s gossip, just online. Gossip has been a human past time ever since language was created.

    Are the bots now overtaking the world by controlling the people’s thoughts?

    That sub always seemed like a honey trap for Reddit’s dickhead community.

    I’ve always said… “if you legitimately post in AITA, then yeah. YTA.” Because even if you’re the clear and obvious innocent victim in your little story, you’re an asshole for making it up to take advantage of people for upvotes.

    Same with the “am I overreacting” bullshit.

    AITA for beating my wife to death because she burnt my steak?

    NTA, cooking a steak is basic knowledge and you told her not to burn it

    • Reddit, probably.
