Reading comments today, especially on sports pages... Worse than usual

If I was an awful person, the internet would be a good place to make negative statements

You act like the internet is a solely negative experience.

It allows some of our best and worst qualities to be put on display.

It's mostly bad tbh. Like, it's majority ads, and once you get past that it's news sites and social media pushing agendas and campaigning to destroy each other, then you get past that and it's sites like reddit where having the wrong opinion equals censorship. Keep digging and you find hole-in-the-wall sites like this one where it's so old and everyone's been here so long that everyone is just a dick to each other for fun. Go any further and you get to the real cesspool, and the fact that there's a real cesspool under all that bad shit is pretty scary when you think about it.

Like, if I were to put it into percentage form, I'd say the internet is like 83% bad, 17% good.

Gotta use it for intellectual or cultural purposes... For me personally. I get triggered but not trolled. NGL

At first I thought it was simply because you could post anonymously, but we still have a number of people posting racist shit on the internet with their real names and everything.
