Why do non-Muslims pretend to be ex-Muslims online?

Assalamu Alaikum, I’ve been noticing this a lot on social media, and honestly, it’s kinda frustrating. You see these posts where people make up these wild, exaggerated stories about leaving Islam-like claiming they got punished for talking to someone of the opposite gender or that they’re from a Muslim-majority country but can’t even answer basic questions about it. Sometimes they’ll post vague stuff with no details, and sadly, a lot of folks just believe it without thinking twice. What’s worse is when you check their profiles and they’ve got Christmas videos up or photos without hijab, so it’s pretty clear they weren’t ever really part of the community. It feels like they’re making light of real struggles, you know? Like, actual survivors of difficult situations have gone through so much, and these fake stories just downplay their experiences. If someone left Islam because of their own journey, that’s their choice, and I respect that. But creating lies just to spread hate? That’s not okay. It just fuels more negativity toward Muslims who are just living their lives. It’s so frustrating because it feels like we’re getting blamed for stuff we didn’t even do. Anyway, just wanted to share these thoughts. Stay safe out there, everyone. Barakallah Feek.
