Isn't it a bit odd that everyone takes this at face value? Doesn't it seem like a bit of a fantastic story to appear on Reddit on Saturday? I'm suspicious that people are having their emotions toyed with for someone's entertainment.
- nandemo 16y agoA lot of IAMAs are trolls. But it doesn't mean everyone believes, it's just selection bias. The people who don't take it at face value stay quiet because you're not supposed to be skeptical about it, that would be "insensitive". Personally I find it odd that someone who "has just found Reddit" would take the trouble to do an IAMA instead of, I dunno, anything else in their last hours.
- forwardslash 16y agoYour suspicion has been echoed in other threads since the poster has yet to confirm you who he is in real life, 'just found reddit' and knew enough to create an AMA and 'lost his password'. In all likely-hood this could be a Munchausen by Internet[1]. [1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCnchausen_by_Internet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCnchausen_by_Internet
