As you might know by now, I'm a story faker on Reddit, or I was. I haven't even opened Reddit in days and I'm detoxing.
However, I wonder what are your opinions on fake Reddit stories. Some people seem to take them very seriously, but I don't know what a bigger amount of people think about it. Do you care? You don't care? You find them entertaining? Or it makes you upset when you discover a story is fake?
What if you realized a story that deals in heavy topics turns out to be fake? Something that real people might have real trauma about?
I'm kinda beating myself for making so many fake stories and I'm overthinking a lot about what people really think about it, maybe I'm making it a bigger deal in my head than what it really is.
It depends if it's funny or not, good troll posts can be the heart of internet culture - but if the only punchline is that the story is fake it seems like a waste of everyone's time.
