Yep, there's a subreddit for baofeng radios on reddit, and probably 3/4 of posters there have no licence at all and just bought the radios because of the combination of being cheap and the ability to get "tactical" variants (camo colored, useless huge antennas, etc.). They usually have no idea how to program the radio (input frequencies/channels) and just use the preset ones which are set to seemingly random frequencies, sometimes even outside of ham bands.
