Anyone notice a lot of America Bad types use this in their comments or generally type like this?

It just comes across as quite odd. I can't imagine it's a digital privacy thing, as revealing your country isn't risky at all. It only really muddies the water of a discussion, as now we have to dig to figure out what "your country" is because you couldn't just say "Norway" or something.

You ever read a post or a comment (especially on Reddit) where someone will talk about a business but say something like "it rhymes with Dapple Peas" instead of just writing it out?

Yeah, annoying. Even worse when they try making it cryptic like a comment I just read where they said they used to go to "the diner chain known for pancakes" but now go to "the breakfast diner chain that is yellow."

I don't want to solve a riddle to read your comment. Talk like a normal person. Plus, it helps anyone that isn't your nationality who may not know what the business is so they can Google it and understand you better.

And no, your Reddit comment likely criticizing the business isn't going to help their SEO or whatever nonsense you think censoring it is doing.
