AIBU to find unreal threads annoying?

I know some people find them amusing, funny, or that they pass some time harmlessly.

I find them annoying amongst other things. Irritating. I think ,hasnt someone got anything whatsoever, better to do in life?

I often wait and see if the op at least returns to a thread, before bothering to reply.

Doesnt help that I am not always right as to which threads are duds, and the handful which turn out to be real.

Just ranting really.

I prefer to give the benefit of doubt and just reply if I chose to and assume its genuine

It’s not that though Madgran but people sometimes put their heart and soul into a reply maybe even speaking of their own similar problems or doing research to help find answers and meanwhile these idiots are taking people for fools It’s not on

There was a really weird one the other day, in the early hours - encouraging some sort of witchcraft and potions to make us happy.

I did report it, when I’d stopped laughing, as they were seemingly asking for money.

It was removed swiftly.😉
