during covid i would post all sorts of made-up stories in r/relationship_advice just out of boredom/for the fun of creative writing. once the post stopped getting comments, i’d delete it/my comment history and write another one. i got quite a lot of karma, some awards, and a real dislike for the term “red flag” after ~six months of this
- throwaway314155 1y agoNot something most would brag about, especially in a tgread about inauthentic posts on subreddits being unethical.
- Jensson 1y agoThat isn't bragging, its just their experience.
- Noumenon72 1y agoSounds very similar to an inauthentic post itself in how it presents an appropriate background. (I think it's real, but we have to question now.)
- rnjesus 1y agoi didn’t mean to sound like i was bragging. the comment i was replying to was wondering if people make posts that are essentially creative writing exercises, and i was simply saying that, yeah, people (me in this case) definitely do that
- throwaway314155 1y agoFair enough.
- garbagewoman 1y agoWhy not?
- fourgreen 1y agoI wonder if this real life story (the one about posting fake real life stories on r/relationship_advice) is real or fake.
