Of course it might be genuine, but there's also a history of r/LegalAdviceUK getting a number of creative writing exercises. See this post: https://old.reddit.com/r/LegalAdviceUK/comments/1loyctr/rage...

Why use the “creative writing exercise” euphemism that obscures the dishonesty? Call them liars, fakes, frauds, or whatever.

Because it's internet + social media. You should assume 60% of it is made up, every time. People are either saying things they know to be untrue, or things they think are true but or not.

>>JimDab+06
Because it’s not that serious.

I used to follow a few personal finance and FIRE subs. Pretty much all of them had surprising number of creative writing exercises too:

"I just inherited $10 million from a dead relative I never knew, what should I do?"

Or:

"I sold my online business for $37 million, is this enough to retire on?"

These daydreamers always create fresh throwaway accounts and usually never come back to answer clarifying questions. If they do, their answers are vague and unhelpful.

Many in the personal finance subs are hooks leading users to one scam or another. Mostly some mild and worthless ebook or course you pay for.
