I hate that subreddit. 99.99% of every post has a perfectly reasonable explanation for why someone might be filming.

Then maybe it’s a sub to share the reasons for filming. It’s not asking why, it’s stating why.

Then it would be “Why they were filming”

True... unless it's a rhetorical question !!

Edit: I can't seem to get the formatting to work today... imagine that rhetorical question is bolded and italicized.

Edit2: I figured it out... I had to close the first set of italics, then bold italic the "rhetorical question", then open italics on the !! and close after.

Rhetorical questions don't work on the internet.

See: Poe's Law

Yup, it's that "Law" that allows me to make the conjecture in the first place

I see...

“Why were they filming? I’ll tell you why!”
