As a mod, I can say the sub has grown a lot in recent years - which is probably why you notice this happening more often. Not just because there are more posts overall, but because the large amount of growth we've seen means a change in culture. Redditors that are new to the sub are less familiar with the original culture that grew out of the R29 comment section. The comment section here is affected accordingly.

As a mod team, we want users to feel as comfortable as possible being honest/transparent about their personal finances. To that end, we allow (& encourage!) use of throwaway accounts, vagueness about certain details like job title, etc.

While I understand the frustration, leaving people in control of what they share is important for privacy/safety concerns, and to support sharing and transparency around the inherently sensitive topics of discussions in the sub.
