those aren't scare quotes. they're just quotes.

  No, they are scare quotes as the poster admits in another comment.

    The poster said "I'm legitimately quoting", which doesn't sound like an admission to me.

      Read the next part of that sentence.

        "Thanks. I'm legitimately quoting, but also prefer use of more specific terms like "tripled" or "fives times more expensive" etc. than common dramatic headlines words like "crushed", "slammed", "blasted", "surged"." Doesn't seem to support your claim that these are scare quotes at all.
