Fake news stories exist because some people want to gain attention or manipulate public opinion for their own benefit.
Well, one reason is the need for attention. Some people create cringe - worthy love stories to get noticed, whether it's on social media or in their social circles. Another factor is the misinterpretation of love. They confuse infatuation with true love. So they engage in really extreme behaviors thinking it's love. For example, those who buy expensive gifts right at the start of a relationship without really knowing the other person well. It all adds up to create cringe love stories.
They exist because people are inspired by the fear factor in existing horror stories. When a horror story scares a lot of people, others want to recreate that same feeling. It's like a way to join in on the horror trend.
Shitty bedtime stories may exist because some people think they can be a form of 'realism' in storytelling. They might believe that showing the harsher side of life in a story is valid, even for bedtime. But really, it goes against the purpose of a bedtime story which is usually to calm and comfort. Another reason could be that the storyteller just doesn't understand the needs of the listener, especially a child who needs positive and soothing tales at bedtime.
Kindergarten horror stories exist mainly because of kids' vivid imaginations. At that age, their minds are still developing and they can create all sorts of wild ideas. They might hear a strange noise and their minds immediately turn it into a monster story. Also, sometimes older kids or even adults might accidentally say something spooky around them, and they build on that. For example, if an older kid mentions a 'ghost in the attic' while the kindergarten is in an old building with an attic, the little ones will start creating their own horror stories about it.
I think it might be because 30 marks a certain milestone or it's a tradition within that particular news organization. It's hard to say for sure without knowing more about their internal policies.
Some think it's because they want to fill up space or meet publishing quotas. Also, fluff stories might be seen as less risky and more likely to appeal to a broad range of people.
Cultural differences play a big role. Western and Filipino cultures can be very different. For example, in Filipino culture, respect for elders is highly emphasized. If the husband's family in a different culture doesn't value this in the same way, it can lead to problems. Another reason is economic disparity. Some Filipino brides may come from poorer backgrounds and be vulnerable to exploitation. They might be forced to accept unfair terms in a marriage just to have a better life.
They exist mainly because of the shock value. People like to spread and hear about things that are considered taboo and extreme.
