E.g.

"Not naming names, but I went to a burger chain that's a homophone for a word that means gusty"

Or

"This happened at a coffee place, let's call it MoreBucks"

Do they think they aren't allowed to mention specific company names? Do they think they are being clever? Wtf is this? It's the single weirdest thing about the reddit "writing style"

this thread i saw on the nyc reddit today about "lantern flies" is like the most reddit discussion i've ever seen

https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/1keoa5z/this_is_what_lanternflys_nests_look_like_right/

taking part in a useless activity that also allows them to take out some latent impotent rage in a socially acceptable manner while using playful "violent" language to make the act seem mildly transsgressive while also casting anyone who questions the act as a heretic.

I’m very terrified of bugs and the thought of these things landing on my neck makes me cringe!

This is one specific application of reddit's general love of circumlocution. xo has remarked on this phenomenon for some time ("sexytime with the ladybits!")
