The top video under the sound, for example, is a slideshow compiling seemingly random ironic and absurd memes. It’s unclear how popular the original upload on TikTok was since it was deleted, but its original sound remains, which has been used over 2,000 times at the time of writing.Ī short browse through the sound shows hundreds of videos using the story as background audio to absurd, low-quality viral clips, edgy and cursed memes, cringe content and goofy ahh videos. It’s a brutal read that received only 1,000 upvotes on the subreddit. The worst part is that I am supposed to pretend that I am happy about it,” ending the post by asking why God did this to him. I spend as much time as work as possible. He writes, “I can’t help it, my life is constantly terrible. Posted to TikTok by in March 2022, the video features a TTS voice reading a dark Reddit confession, originally posted in September 2014, where a man talks about how much he hates his autistic son. One of the more well-known examples of this is a video known as I Hate My Autistic Son. Videos like this have been continually going viral on TikTok for months now, but what’s more interesting than the content itself is the way that TikTokers are using the content, revealing a somewhat darker side of TikTok that thrives on hearing the TTS voice say horrible things. It’s the perfect format for drama addicts, and while most “Reddit post” accounts on TikTok don’t solely go the dark route, reading through more lighthearted, interesting and informative posts from around the site as well, nearly all of these accounts dabble on the darker side. The more shocking the confession, the more views the video tends to get, hooking people in with a tantalizing title and keeping them glued throughout with the juicy details. As a viewer, they’re entertaining, easy to digest and somewhat addictive, saving you from having to do the pesky task of sifting through the massive pile of posts on /r/confessions for interesting stories. While it might not be the most laborious or original content out there, these videos tend to do well for creators. Most of these accounts curate unhinged, disturbing posts from Reddit’s /r/confession board (and related forums like /r/AskReddit), screenshot them, slap them over some b-roll Minecraft parkour footage and have a soulless text-to-speech (TTS) voice read through them. Recently, there has been an increasing number of dark Reddit confession accounts popping up on TikTok.
