some of the most interesting content on reddit is often from throwaway or pseudonym accounts which are essentially “anon” to all other users: - advice posts for sensitive situations or most ask men/women posts, like what’s the best thing your ex did in bed - AITAH - NoStupidQuestions - confessions this content digs at the complexity of human nature, often with unfiltered, authentic perspectives, that appeals to millions of users. this type of content on the anon accounts doesn’t get good engagement (and none seems to have graduated to the X account), perhaps due to public likes or the flat nature of reply threads where it seems like only one person is conversing. instead, the majority of content that breaks through is the same content that’d break through without anon accounts: memes, shills, and dunks. and because anon is still relatively small, the breakthrough content risks reading as in-group. excited to watch these projects continue to iterate because i see it as a big, big opportunity.

I wonder when anon posting will lead to people posting wrong information and/or ragebait just for the sake of conversation. I've read that post about the woman who, when she has a coding question, purposely asks the question earnestly and then goes and posts under another account providing an absolute wrong answer. She does this because people like correcting people more than they like helping people. possibly /lessoninthere
