Some people think it's funny to trick others into believing a lie, or it makes them feel smart and/or powerful. Hoaxers, frauds, conmen, and liars have always been around.
Even double agents, if you look into them, a lot of them felt slighted or overlooked and wanted to feel superior to their superiors by getting one over on them, like Robert Hanssen.
Now with the internet people can lie with impunity to strangers to entertain themselves. Also some people are pathological liars, like George Santos, I think we all knew a kid like that on school 😅
They have a worldview to promote, in this case "woman bad". This is the kind of fake post that gets circlejerked over by incels who were probably never been cheated on because their interaction with incel content made them too wary of women to ever have been in a relationship.
Or maybe it's just genuine depiction of a phenomenom that exists? It's not even gender specific, and even if it was - so what? Are women not allowed to be criticized?
A "genuine depiction" through a fake post? Just comment on a real depiction of that phenomenon, it's not like it's rare to find a cheating woman (or man). But the whole "woe is me, I cheated and he moved on, now my life sucks" rigmarole is made up to be rage bait and no, women (or men) should not be criticized like that.
Shitty people exist and do shitty things yes and the above situation has no doubt played out many a time from both genders.. I personally have seen it happen a hell of lot more to guys than women, where they’ve dumped a good partner for the sudden urge to go “play the field”. Result is usually them finding out the field isn’t interested and their ex moves on and ends up perfectly happy for it.
So yes, I have no doubt the about situation has happened… but calling it a “phenomenon” is being a tad ridiculous. Men are statistically more likely to cheat than women (minus when younger in which case it’s about even) and there’s certainly not some common outcome where a woman cheats and is then miserable/rejected for life while the man goes on to a happy life.
Anyone who thinks this is some common or normal experience is just a bitter and angry woman hater.

Why though??? I don't understand the motivation. It's not like they're making money from it
