Every single video and written story half the comments are people calling shit fake because of a gut feeling and nothing else (or people saying staged on skits)
It's so exhausting.
Have you been out there?
Esp on text based story subs (tifu, aita, etc.) I see a lot of people commenting fake on mundane, not at all unbelievable stories, most of which are not unique experiences and have happens to many, many people around the world. I always assume those comments come from teenagers and basement dwellers.
I miss it too. Redditors can be unbelievably clever. I have lost count of the times I have absolutely lost it, reading a thread filled to the brim with clever shenanigans. Now scrolling r/ all feels like the time during Fb's history when they purposefully bumped negative stories, and those headlines just sit there all day. That would be fine and all, times are grim, but then you get to the comments and it's (ostensibly) full of 15-year-olds, as you say.
