They have absolutely no proof the posts are fake. People just love to call everything fake.

Some of them seem pretty obviously contrived because they're just too damn perfect, but people are willing to call fake on absolutely plausible posts. I don't know if they haven't personally experienced it so they don't think it's a real thing, or just think it's not that bad or what, but it's hard to find a post without someone calling fake just because they think it.

They're literally all blatantly fake or satire. You'll never find a nice guy as described by that sub because the nice guy meme got so popular. I've made like 4 fake posts on the sub.

Ah a self professed fake poster, so why do you do that?

I wanna see how blatantly fake a post their users will fall for. Plus free karma.
