CMV: Starting a Post With "Throwaway Account to Remain Anonymous" Followed By an Incredibly Unique Story Is Silly

I see this all the time. Someone posts a story and starts it off with "Throwaway account because I dont want anyone knowing this is me" and then they post an extremely unique or specific story that will obviously be recognized by the person/people they're referencing. Like do y'all really think having a burner account keeps you anonymous when your story is something like "My husband threw my child in an octopus tank and then ran naked through the aquarium, should I divorce him?" 

This actually just makes me chuckle more than anything but am I missing something here? Has anyone who's done this and ended up on the front page ever actually remained anonymous from those they're trying to hide from? And I'm referencing those  AITA posts or AskReddit that blow up. Not saying throwaways don't work ever. But I have a hard time believing you stayed anonymous when the story you provided could have been an oscar winning screenplay.

It's to protect the secrecy of your main account. People may know whose husband ran through the aquarium naked, but they won't know all her dirty secrets from the stuff she posts and upvotes from her main account.
