Subject: Aren't we all?
The primary difference between this and a sci fi book though is that most of the time people click links to nosleep they click them before they know it's from nosleep, so when done right you can trick readers into thinking they are reading a real story that has a lot of really crazy and interesting things happening. Instead most of the stories are written the same way they always have been, as if it is just a real story with a lot of crazy shit, but the reader is constantly reminded that they are reading fiction even before they read the first word of the story because no other subreddit has that kind of background so it shatters suspension of disbelief.
Also I'm not a grumpy person lol, I really enjoy a lot of the stuff written in sci fi as well as NoSleep I just feel like the dark background being enabled by default ruins a lot of good potential trickery for no real good reason, and that the stories would be better if people from other parts of reddit weren't reminded where they were before they started reading stories.
edit: also, despite the fact that no one on nosleep literally tries to convince people that their story is factual, most of the stuff here is actually trying to get the reader to believe the story, at least for the beginning. The stream of consciousness style exists basically solely for the purpose of tricking readers into believing it, at least at first glance. The dark contrast of the page hampers that quite a bit though.
