Ethical issues with posts containing suicidal ideation?

Doesn't PTP do this a lot (claiming she's going to self-harm)? Don't most who post here realize that the subjects discussed are constantly doing sh*t for attention? I'm not thrilled with seeing the posts where they are talking about harming themselves, but in a way, it just seems as though it a way for them to get more attention on their social media accounts. I feel badly for 99% of the subjects discussed here but if we are talking ethics here, maybe IF shouldn't even be on Reddit perhaps?

IF is for those of us that want to talk about why these people are the way they are correct? If we all have to start worrying about every thing we post, then why even post? These subjects certainly don't seem to care or be concerned with what they are posting TBH?

This is just my opinion. If it's wrong, please delete.
