And... Even if it's true, why is it relevant to most people's lives? What does it do other than stoke outrage and reinforce the widely held "HOAs bad" view? More than that, reading shit like this over and over again slowly erodes your view of humanity and I think it contributes a lot to general cynicism.

News organizations seem to have completely stopped answering the question of "why are we reporting on this and why should you care?"

I used to make lots of comments on Am I the Asshole posts for this reason. Calling out fake posts, and listing reasons why they are fake. Would get a lot of push back that amounted to "why do you care if it's fake? It's a good story and an interesting debate." I cared because the more you read those stories, taken at face value, the less you think of humanity.

The mods there were underrated. Aita somehow turned into a favorite activity among my teens and I. We spent so much time discussing posts, deciding what we think and whether we agree with the hive mind. It was the one remaining reason to go back after Rexxit, but rapidly degenerated into junk posts not worth discussing
