    I just think it's extremely obvious - without getting into the content of the posts at all! - that most of the content of the sub is fiction Once it became well known that it was a way to go viral and get lots of attention, it couldn't possibly be anything elsehttps://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1343000164378689537 …

    Heard the argument that AITA posts describe stuff that happens frequently enough IRL that it doesn't matter if they're real or just creative writing exercises, and as somebody who has lived through dozens of things that WOULD warrant an actual AITA post, I... don't agree (1/2)

        And the people who say it doesn't matter whether it's true are obviously on some level wrong Because then it wouldn't matter if they said they were true I could post a short story I told you I made up and you'd give it the same amount of attention Which people clearly don't

        Everyone knows this is how telling a bullshit story works irl You get many times as much "engagement" for saying something really happened to someone you know than for saying you saw it online, orbs definitely more than for "I just made up this cool story I thought would be fun"

        And you get the most engagement BY FAR by saying that it actually happened to YOU Nothing is as exciting as having the subject of the story right here, in front of you, to react to in real time The problem is irl it's a lot easier to call you on your shit if you do that

        So being able to put on a mask and hang out anonymously with a throwaway account is the best of both worlds Hence why it's such a popular pastime, and why the big "AITA exposé" got a dozen people to admit it was their major writing hobby

        Yeah, that's likely accurate. I think a lot of the other ones are things that happened in the semi-recent past of the OP, where there's still an axe to grind, and where the OP is writing it from the perspective of the person who was an asshole to them.

        But the genre requires the audience ot at least INTERACT with it as though it's true. Which means that a part of it is that you get to ask follow up questions, and theroetically, more things will happen.

        My sister-in-law once posted a real story on that sub or a related sub, and she was accused of creating a fake story. (This helped to convince her that she was being unreasonable.)

        Yeah that's the thing. I don't trust that we can tell the truth from the fiction, given how strange truth has shown itself to be

        Did the Brexit Son twitter thread cross the atlantic earlier this year? It was a viral thread in the UK that started off as an amusing story of a man living in France, dealing with some expats who'd voted Brexit but hadn't prepared for it at all.

        But as it went on, it became more and more obvious that it was a hoax, and the debate built about whether it matters, that it's just a funny story, all the usual stuff. But as it became clear he'd started being outed, he started covering his tracks, piling lies on lies.
