There was a tragic and complicated incident in my area some years ago, involving an unusually eccentric family. Someone(s) in the family were running several Facebook profiles posting prolifically, accusing various entities of culpability (note: bad idea, don't do this.) A news article mentioned the intense interest this was generating in a true crime forum, and being slightly acquainted with some of the principal characters I thought I'd check it out, and HOLY CANNOLI, the discourse was so unhinged, I could not nope out fast enough.
I'm a true crime podcasts listener, though mostly interested in cons and fraud, not violent crimes. Maybe that was why this seemed so off to me, it was mostly speculating on motive, based on...not much evidence. You don't get that with fraud, the intent is a given.
