    Its that or relationship/AITA type posts that are so wildly insane I dont know why anyone bothers replying.

    My (58M) wife (18F) cheated on me with my brother’s ex-girlfriends hockey coach. AITA for not attending SIL’s wedding because her dress code specifies hockey jerseys and they refuse to tell me if BXGHC will be there? Also the dinner is a plate of skittles, which I have a bad history with.

      I’m convinced theres a troll game going on to make the dumbest aita post, last time I went in to check my messages I saw one with a guy asking if he was the asshole because he yelled at his daughter for missing her recently dead mother

      YTA, you should support your brothers ex-girlfriends hockey coaches right to copulate with your wife, stop being such a control freak by trying to keep them apart. Also, skittles are an excellent meal and a good source of nutrition. Nothing to see here, just a drama queen looking to have their shitty decisions justified by the libtards.

    The titles sounds like research for BuzzFeed articles. “The ten movies that hook you from the beginning” etc. Wouldn’t surprise me if the posts are just lazy article farms.

    What profession is willing to pay for social media recruitment?

    What prejudice do you want to have confirmed?

    What product do you wish to advertise?

    What media product do you wish to advertise?

    Can you believe this obvious lie?

    While you were using the subreddits you were subscribed to, the general default subreddits were always seeing activity like this.

    But over time reddit has been attracting a far more general audience of regular people from other social media platforms.

      I think it’s young people and people from countries that are just now getting as connected to the Internet and they see no reason to complain cause they just are excited to have the space not knowing of its change. It is what it is and we won’t change people that don’t care.

      But it does mean the user base is really different, those comments are so miserable and cruel and shitty. r/all stuff is full of comments that make me want to punch a lot of people and I don’t think I can go back there anymore.
