I have a pet theory that bots and AI generated content are constantly being posted to a couple subreddits (AITAH, AskReddit, etc.) where the general theme of the post is basically cheating and/or open relationships. These posts garner a lot of strong opinions and ultimately end up on the front page. Much like the OP here, the content and discussion always seems so recycled.
well it doesn't necessarily have to be AI generated content.
I rarely read those posts, but when I do, I find myself actually questioning if it's really true. I suspect some people have too much time on their hands and make stories up for reddit karma instead of writing journals and books that nobody will read. At least they're exploring creative writing, though.
Good examples from the front page just now include https://old.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/1cgmfrt/aitah_for_ma... and https://old.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/1cg4c7n/aitah_for_ge...
