If you saw the actual people giving out free advice on reddit, you wouldn't use reddit

Reddit has some very confident voices giving out advice and a range of things. But the most confident voices are the least qualified to give out advice.

For instance, you have incels and femcels and other low-social-interaction people giving out dating and marriage advice.

Pedos with circumcision fetishes giving advice on circumcisions to parents (yes, this happened).

Posers with no college giving out legal advice. (one of the most prolific yet now banned users on a legal advice sub turned out to be a web developer with a GED).

One might even be able to generalize this to the internet in general. Is society falling apart in part because for years people have taken catastrophically bad advice from the internet?

If you met these people in person, you'd probably rage quit reddit.
