Someone had downvoted every comment correctly saying edited to add. I'm guessing it's because they're thinking about estimated time of arrival, but, in context that makes no fucking sense.

Yep. Someone tried to correct me on this and I stated on Reddit it means edit to add. They wouldn't back down. Lol

Not common on all of Reddit, but perhaps on the reddits you frequent.

Anecdotal, but this the first time I've seen it anywhere at all, and I've been around a while. "Edit:" for paragraphs and brackets [like this] for inline edits, is what I usually see. It could be me that has been living in a bubble, of course. :)

I'm in different subreddits all unrelated and come across many that I'm not a part of, half use ETA, half edit.

It's a silly debate with people who've seen it and those who are adamant that it's not common.
