I was browsing Reddit last night in a pretty popular sub, when I saw this fake as !!!!!! post.

And another similar one with an elderly man and a crochet blanket he supposedly made but was "ashamed" of.

Sigh.....

So much of this rubbish on Facebook. I think I've blocked 20+ pages easily that are clickbait bots full of these posts.

I don't understand how anyone thinks they're real posts and genuine. At least 95% of the Reddit comments thought they were real. I know it wasn't a crochet sub, but still makes no sense to me! They're just karma farming on here.
