Is Reddit considered a news source now? Half of the posts on the front page are made up fictional writing, and the other half are politics and repeated questions, for the purposes of karma farming.

How do we know that the OP of this post did not make these claims up?

Based on the wording alone I would believe the OP had thr experience they claim. They just misunderstood what was being asked.
