About a month ago there was a story about Little Shapes, a Twitter user that mostly posts about NFTs and particularly his project called Little Shapes. On 29 December 2022, Little Shapes posted for the first time after many months of inactivity since 24 June 2022. Little Shapes claimed that he had been in a coma for 5 months and woke up three weeks before sharing the story. This story was first shared here in the subreddit on 29 December (3.3k upvotes) and an update on the story was posted on 18 January (1.5k upvotes). A lot of people were critical of the story here, especially because the story just kept getting weirder and weirder. In the last update, it was shared that his wife left him after supposedly cheating on him with a friend from the NFT space, and that Little Shapes was on a quest of vengeance to expose how bad the NFT scene truly is. The story was also reported on by several news agencies, like The Chainsaw.
