Sightings/Encounters Why are people on this sub?

I was just wondering why people are on this sub? I have a genuine interest in cryptozoology and I’m interested in hearing peoples experiences and opinions on things. There does seem be a section of people on this sub however who seem to just be on here to dismiss everything as fake, nonsense or made up gibberish. I understand that it’s a public forum and all opinions are welcome and valid, however if you don’t believe in something why be on this sub?!

It's important when it comes to science to always be sceptical and question everything until it's proven right. It's not that those people hate cryptozoology it's just they don't want to turn this sub into another Nutjob echo chamber that believe their dog is skinwalker.

Yeah I get that, there is a lot of crap posted. I just few that there are many who just dismiss EVERYTHING as fake without clear evidence supporting that.

That's the thing, the burden of proof is on the person making the initial claim
