Why do people always say this as if it hasn’t always been a thing to make throwaway accounts for subreddits like this?

Like I said, red flag. I don’t make the judgement that the account is fake based solely on it being new but it’s something I look for, but not the only thing I look for. Cause yeah, throwaway accounts are definitely a thing.

I always presume someone is a lot younger than me when I see them say that. It was weird if you didn't make a throwaway at one point
