#44: Reddit Gems
Anyone can post anything on the internet. That’s why it’s so important to think critically about anything you read online, including articles from credible news outlets. A place where people love to mouth off is Reddit. While it’s a huge resource of knowledge and advice, there are definitely some users on there who have no idea what they’re talking about.
The thing is, they sound so darned confident when they write misleading posts and completely incorrect comments! Some people suspect that these people are aspiring writers or professional storytellers. That theory makes sense, especially considering how persuasive a lot of these posts can be. Keep an eye out for misleading information, folks. Remember: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
