There's a lot of reddit refugees/AI bot accounts here and on other websites that are spreading AITA posts around, but not sharing the required-reading post that's necessary if you want to engage with that content without becoming a goblin

#reddit #am i the asshole #AITA #AITAH #196 #there's sorta 3 main things you NEED to be thinking about with every one of those posts you se #1 everyone is trying to paint themselves in the best possible light #everything from the information they choose to present to the way they phrase their sentences is written to make you think OP is correct #2 every story you see there no matter how thorough is ultimately incomplete #intentionally or not its just impossible to get the full scop of a situation in the bounds of a reddit post #and most importantly of all 3 #the audience does not care about finding the best possible solution or the fairest possible judgment #they care about getting the best story #so many of those posts jump to divorce or no contact or stupid reddit revenge schemes because people want catharsis #they want a win they can get vicariously through others #they don't care if their solution inadvertantly ruins your life or burns a bridge that could have easily been mended
