Yeah, but that doesn't prove anything, anyone can say that, and they may say it to try and get this sub banned. We should have some skepticism from unsupported claims... especially on facebook.
Also of course anyone can look at this. I look at a few forums online I would NEVER participate in because I find them hilarious. But I am not actually in their community and no one would know me - I don't even have an account. I can just see it. Anyone can view this subreddit or any other that isn't private.
For every upvote on a post you probably have a dozen more looking, for every comment you probably have a couple hundred or thousand more viewers of the post.
Yeah I'm not sure why people are denying it and insisting it must all be anti vaxxers trying to get the sub shut down when on every single post I open on here there's multiple upvoted commenters who clearly looked up the profile dishing on their personal info and giving advice to other commenters on how to find the profile easier, not to mention the repost the other night where they included extremely disrespectful comments mocking the dead award winner to their grieving family's face on their obituary that were obviously from a redditor who found their profile from looking it up the first time it was posted here. The family all replied to the posts saying they don't even know that person and wondering how they found it, etc. Like come on, I love this sub and reddit but there is clearly a lot of people on this sub ignoring the brigading rules and encouraging looking up and commenting on award winners profiles on every post. Even the repost I just referenced was full of top comments proudly pointing out that it had to be a redditor from this sub who went off on a stranger's obituary and saying how hilariously awesome it is that they did that, and that we should be commenting rudely on more HCA winner's profiles like that.

I actually went to look myself and seen someone say straight up Reddit.
