If you have to ask the internet if you are an asshole then it's either because you are definitely an asshole, or because you are karma farming - in which case, you are an asshole.

the AITA on reddit is one of it's most popular things, and lots of people farm content from it.

because people love judging the shit out of other people and explaining how awful they are. or justifying their assholery.

it's arm chair quarter backing other people's relationship drama. and everyone is an NFL relationship coach in their own mind.

people ask the internet because social approval is very important to folks and they need to have their biases validated.

Plus there are podcasts that use those subs for content, so people submit their “creative” writing to see if they can get featured.

Narcissists feeding on other narcissists. Reddit was full of those people, and Lemmy also has them.
