That was one of my favorite shitposting formats. I would type a whole paragraph with technical details and real knowledge. Only the people who actually knew what I was talking about would realize its a shitpost.

Yep, and a lot of reddit is thinly veiled shitposts, bots, and uncredited karma whoring reposts of stolen content (the commercial AI companies should feel right at home here). Some of them are to anger the self righteous redditors who come to PC police anyone who dares speak against the far left zeitgeist. But most importantly, so, so many of them are just for the lols.

The scariest part is that those drawn out, apparently accurate but actual nonsense posts/comments, is how many of them end up near the top, with massive numbers of votes from those who think "well that sounds reasonable," but know nothing of the subject itself.

Semi-related: I really loved the shitposts where the guy would tell an elaborate story, and end it with his dad beating the shit out of him with jumper cables. Now that's quality reddit content.
