Lying on the internet for clout isn't a new concept at all. Ever since it was created, insane, overly wholesome, or otherwise unbelievable stories were granted awards by other users in the form of likes and Reddit karma. The internet has a special hatred for those who thrive off of internet popularity, specifically Reddit karma. The more wild but believable the story, the more karma granted.

This is all fun and games until someone gets called out and the delusion is over. Watching someone go from mildly trending to being absolutely obliterated is equally as comedic as it is humbling. Internet sleuths have all the receipts and knowledge to burst any hopeful internet star's bubble. Watching the chaos of someone being totally called out is amusing to see, it's even more exhilarating if you're the one who gets to do it. Here are some people lying on the internet who were totally called out on their fibs.
