Am I the only one who thinks that "AITA" is kinda fake?
It's easily one of the biggest e-points generator that can cause a lot of dopamine. Almost like a meta-trolling where you know the shot is going to land.
You could go about your day, experience some event, wonder "what would happen if I reacted differently?" And then think up that fanciful alternate timeline and post it on aita.
Yes we can use aita for communal rule building, but I think it has the potential to cause a lot of societal distrust, the more fanciful that the stories might get.
Perhaps it won't be the case, am I the asshole for thinking so?
- superb-owl 4y agoYeah I think this is a legitimate concern. There are definitely some people there just karma-farming, but the mods seem to do a good job finding those folks and removing their posts as spam. A lot of accounts are throwaways, which IMO means they're probably not karma-farming. But someone else pointed out you can still get some dopamine from fake internet points on a throwaway.
