I’m starting to get that way with things titled like “12 things science has found under ice”. Half the time I already know which 12 things they are, the other half barely holds any new information since the discovery. It’s kinda frustrating that nothing has moved beyond point A in like half a decade, and sometimes it’s doctored photos that have been through some rando’s photoshop.

This is going to get worse and worse as AI gets better at scraping reddit and social media for stories. It's already doing it

Someone had an AI do a scrape for Megalodons, and this is the script the AI came up with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enBhwgG8g18

I don't mind it as long as it's entertaining and well presented, what I really dislike is when they take it way too seriously. (But I also dislike it when they do nothing but mock it as obviously fake, even when it's obviously fake...)

[(Anonymous)]

So you want an account of some idiot who saw a shadow or heard a scary noise and they were real scared, The End, but 100 years ago.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Well, no. Keep in mind that historical cases tend to survive to the present day because they're more interesting in the first place, so it's like a built in screening mechanism. If some dude 100 years ago thinks he saw a ghost but it was a shadow and he's not sure what else he saw, and that's all the detail... that story is unlikely to still be retold in the 21st century.

I'm saying that on the off chance that your comment was based on a lack of understanding, and not just because you think making snide remarks about other people's interests makes you superior.

There is so much content that to make anything new-ish you basically only have reddit posts. Otherwise you have to follow a professional (a la Lore).

[(Anonymous)]

Lore has some really... questionable research sometimes though.

Ugh yes to all of this. I don't want some rando's bad short fiction, I want specific dates and names. (Once went on a ghost walk and had a similar experience. "A woman died in this house and they say she haunts it til this day" -- okay, when? Who is the woman? And who is "they"? I like ghost stories, but this city has been around since medieval times, you're gonna need to be a little more specific.)

[(Anonymous)]

Personally, I'm annoyed that mysteries are now synonymous with true crime.

[(Anonymous)]

That's fair, even though I like true crime.

The "scraped from Reddit" stuff is objectionable, but I feel it's a bit unreasonable to object to someone describing their fictional story about a ghost as a ghost story. What else should they call it?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm talking about channels that purport to share true stories, not fiction.
