I just thought about the "Duh it's fake" comments that were slowly inching me to insanity on reddit.
Please don't bring this over to Lemmy. Please.
80% of popular posts had a popular comment saying something is staged or fake. It's so uninteresting, unoriginal and beating a dead horse so to say. Even for litteral movie scenes we had popular comments saying it's staged.
Sorry for the rant and it's not particularly for your comment.
It just was a massive trend I noticed on certain subreddits. Could probably farm karma just making a bot saying some variation of "it's fake" to every posts.
Fake text messages are like the laugh track of the internet. There are plenty of absurd things that actually happen on the Internet so having to create fake situations cheapens authentically funny situations.
Sites like 9gag are filled with these things because they are low effort ways to make an unfunny joke plausibly funny.
I feel like there have to be real text exchanges similar to this, but I always assume they’re fake, because they’re just too easy to fabricate. I wonder how many of them were actually real and I just didn’t believe it. Would’ve made them way more funny (not saying it’s not funny if they’re not, but still)
