Something doesn't quite add up for me, she said she posted it because "someone somewhere would have an answer for her" but never thought it would get widespread attention
How do those two things really correlate with each other?
She said she posted it since someone might have an awsner. That is basically "I dont know what I am doing. Hopefully if I post this for a bunch of randos maybe someone whos been in the same situation will pop up". Like this is literally what online forums are for.
I have to say that her explanation makes a sort of sense to me. We live in an age when qualified experts in any field are often dismissed as elitist, out of touch with reality, and the source of nothing but Fake News, while loads of people believe that a random collection of strangers on the internet is the best source of good information.

I might be looking at it too critically
The two positions just seem to counter each other
Someone somewhere knowing, and lending help
The story not blowing up on social media
Like I don't see how you could operate under both beliefs

But how could she hope "someone somewhere would have an answer" if she didn't think it would blow up on social media?
I dunno, you may be right, she may have thought someone on her friend list would know what to do
