Don't take anything you read on Reddit at face value. These are not necessarily real distressed people. A lot of the posts are just creative writing exercises, or entirely AI written themselves. There is a market for aged Reddit user accounts with high karma scores because they can be used for scams or to drive online narratives.

Oh wow that's a very good point. So there are probably farms of chatbots participating in all sorts of forums waiting to be sold to scammers once they have been active for long enough.

What evidence have you seen for this?

This. If you’ve had any reasonable exposure to subreddits like r/TIFU you’d realize that 99% of Reddit is just glorified fan fic.
