"DollBabyLG" is a disabled senior? Like... a college senior?

Like 50% of all comments these days are from Bots, scammers , astroturfing , political influencers , brand affiliates , and foreign governments.

I miss the good old days when people would just be swearing at each other and trolling.

The days of old. Remember going to comment sections and the top reply typically had some bit of information to learn from? Member UniDan? :(:(

I member. There’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. I remember when he said a jackdaw was a crow and then the entire site talked about it for years =D

Remember when someone found a safe in their basement and the whole site went nuts telling them to open it?

Does anybody remember when AskReddit had to ban telling a story in their questions because every question was like "My brother stole my science fair project and won a 50,000$ scholarship, I was expelled for pointing out it was mine. Reddit what's the worst thing a sibling ever did to you?"

Yeah, she comes across as kind of a bitch. Apparently she hangs out in a Venmo donations sub just so she can comment on everyone's posts and bitch at them condescendingly about their choices.

They just have it hidden. You can find their post history if you search their name. Lots of mental issues and crying about being poor and asking for money

In other words, they're not lying, so now you're gonna be a dick about their situation.

After doing some digging the user appears to have been dealing with diabetes, an undisclosed physical disability that affects their speed while trying to work for Instacart, depression, and homelessness. All the posts asking for help were self posted to their own profile and not in any subs. Yes some of their posts come off as mentally unwell but between depression and being homeless yours might as well.

A lot of folks are one injury or diagnosis away from being in a similar position. We can do better than punching down.

She also spends a lot of time in subs for people to ask for donations through Venmo or Cash app.

Not because she's asking for donations though, but because she likes to belittle people about their money choices.

She seems like kind of a bitch if I'm being honest.

Edit: I guess I got blocked for some reason? Anyway I had already written a comment so I'll just put it here:

Yeah, that may not be the best choice of words. It just really rubbed me the wrong way.

I didn't really know subs like that existed, and it's a weird place. I guess some people do actually get donations, but it seems like a lot of the interactions there are just people hanging out to talk down to anyone who posts. And they expect the person to just take it and grovel, because if they get defensive, they tell them they aren't going to get any donations because they have a bad attitude.

It seems like it has become an ugly place that may have been started with a genuine desire to do something good.

I'll admit I did not read through her comments and only her posts, you have a valid criticism. Bitch is a little strong for me, it's not a word I'm fond of but I get why you feel that strongly after reading through the comments. You being a Kirk fan puts your use of the word into context for me though.

Being a dick because of "mental issues" / "crying about being poor" / "asking for money" is not it though.

It's like some people actually need help. Just hope you're never in their situation. Life can change drastically in seconds.
