YSK stands for You should know, a social media abbreviation.
Introduces useful or important information on Reddit's r/YouShouldKnow, as in "YSK: you can request your credit report free once a year." Often about rights, safety or money.
Example: YSK: most airlines must refund you in cash if they cancel your flight, not just give a voucher.
Usage notes
Subreddit rules require each post to explain why the information matters. Similar to LPT (life pro tip) but more focused on facts than tricks. Used outside Reddit as a helpful heads-up.
