        I have a really great husband but he rapes and murders people all the time. He’s a wonderful father to our kids, and a good provider, and helps out around the house a lot, but I’m struggling to cope with all the murderrape. What should I do?

      That’s essentially what it is. Bot accounts posting ridiculous stories and bot accounts replying to those stories to farm karma. With bots and unaware humans upvoting it all.

      Any time I investigated an account for bot activity, one of the big red flags was comment history within relationship advice subs.

        My (21f) husband (54m) makes me pay for everything despite him not allowing me to get a job and him being a millionaire, he also doesn’t let me have any friends or speak to my family and has been cheating on me with his secretary for 5 years, WIBTA if I asked him to stop calling me a useless whore?

      To be fair, a lot of those have to do with cult 47 too, which a lot of people are dealing with abusive family members. There is no talking to those people, all they do is provoke.

      If that’s a true situation, yeah, leaving is the right call.
