Not that I don’t think that Reddit’s favorite advice is ‘dump his/her ass’, because it is. But there is another relevant thing to consider here. Have the posts seeking relationship advice also become less nuanced/serious over time as people realize that they’re less likely to get valuable feedback and more likely to get cathartic (extreme) support? In other words, are posts being less complicated advice seeking like “My husband and I have different parenting philosophies, how do we resolve this?”, and instead becoming more obvious attention seeking, like “My husband hits my daughter with a puppy, what should I do?”
