A lot of reddit subs push the shit too. Look at any text-based story subreddit. They all inevitably get a “don’t question the facts of the story” rule, which then invites charlatans to start lying.

TalesFromTechSupport and IDontWorkHereLady are probably the two best examples. They went from “I was asked to fix a guy’s computer and he was using the CD tray as a cup holder” or “A woman came up to me at target and asked where the corn was and I said I dont work here and she got embarassed” to just utter made up farces and bullshit
