    This is interesting, but in general meaningless, as we don’t have the data of what triggered the advice.

    That has probably also changed over the times.

    With the rise of dickheads like Tate influencing more men, and the general awareness of abuse in relationships, I can absolutely se reasons for breaking up increasing.

      Also posts with more crazy stories leads to higher engagement which leads to more people advising to break up. People aren’t browsing the sub for normal issues they want the scandalous.

        So you’re saying reddit is like the news, and that outrage is what makes social media most popular/engaging.

        How do you fix the problem of sociopaths hoarding wealth and power/control? Because that seems like the underlying problem to me. A platform is only as bad as the people running it.
