Reply to comment by caulrye in People who post stories marked false by Snopes on Reddit fall into five groups: Reason to Disagree, Changed Belief, Steadfast Non-Standard Belief, Sharing to Debunk, and Sharing for Humor.

I can wish people were not obsessed with the Kardashians.

You can wish Snopes didn't write about farts.

Ultimately, the world is a better place when we don't get to decide what other people enjoy or do with their time.

Snopes is an institution with a specific goal. People being interested in Kardashians isn’t comparable.
