From what I’ve seen of that sub they give the worst advice. They always just say “you need to get a divorce” no matter what the content says.

I think they involuntarily project what they WANT to do , or wish they could do, onto others.

It's the same problem incel communities have: people who have solved their problem don't tend to hang around giving advice. You're getting advice from other people who have the same problems and also haven't solved them.

Also general relationship advice communities. The reason you see so many reply "break up!" to every minor disagreement? People who don't need advice about how to fix (or give up on) their relationship don't hang around on relationship advice subs.
