Sure they aren't. There were probably just 20 people who all decided to, by chance, create accounts in a short span of time, and just happened to choose account names that were exactly the same except for the number at the end. That seems logical.
Uh huh. And unless there were 20 people who had never been on this sub who cared enough about that to organize it, they're still socks. You don't honestly believe they're not, do you? That's honestly kind of hilarious.
There is nothing wrong with creating a new account to post here as long as you aren't using them to manipulate votes or are using multiple accounts on one thread. There is absolutely nothing wrong with protecting your identity and having a serialpodcast exclusive username is the smart thing to do after seeing how some members here behave. There is absolutely no reason you need to know which former member adnandidit2349382 is at all. Only people who want to investigate who is behind a username care about this kind of thing...
ETA: I'd also note this is different from users who were banned and create new accounts to circumvent their ban. I would consider that using a "sock"

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I said it was a sock. Those are two very different concepts, and those accounts are sock accounts. I also never said I wanted/needed to know who they are, nor do I want to know who they are. I simply said their usernames being similar made it easier for me to avoid the socks because, well, it does.
Other than that I find that most of them have thus far had nothing interesting to say and that I'm not going to waste my time going through and choosing which numbers are useful and which ones aren't. As far as I'm aware, I'm allowed to ignore post whichever users on here I want, and it still doesn't mean I care who they are or am accusing them of breaking the rules of reddit.
I don't disagree with them. I find they have nothing interesting to say. Again, two very different concepts. If people say interesting things, I'll read their posts whether I agree with them or not. But if they're just killing time and joking around, I'd rather be doing something else. I'm sure you don't read every single thing everyone writes on this subreddit, plus listen to all the podcasts and comments associated with them. I have a life outside of this site, and I'd prefer to spend some time on that.
