"According to a reddit comment, which we've stripped the username from" is quite silly regardless the genre of your article.
There's nothing wrong with being accurate - in this case, it provides users with a way to follow up on the item in the story.
But maybe the article writer asked, and the user preferred not to be named, for all we know.

(But you are right, and I deserve the downvotes I'm getting here - it was a pretty poor attempt at humour…)
