Deep down, many people feel like they could actually make it as a comedian. While this is a widely misguided concept for the majority of the population, a simple scroll through the comments section on a random post will show that there is a lot of untapped talent out there.
The “Murdered By Words” Instagram page gathers the hilarious and sometimes savage comments people have left under other people’s posts. So get comfortable as you read through, upvote your favorites and maybe try your own hand in the comments section below.

While we do think of comment sections as an innovation of the Internet age, in one form or another, they have existed since at least the 1500s. In what now we would call Germany, it was common practice (at least among the literate) to “post” one’s ideas in public places, often to literal posts.
The most famous example of this is probably Martin Luther's Ninety-five Theses, nailed to the door of the All Saints' Church in Wittenberg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany in 1517. Of course, this would only be the practice of people who could read and write and had the time and resources to buy parchment and ink. The internet is ultimately the tool that brought mass commenting to the majority of the population.

Good thing he has a bottle of water sitting right there on the table, he'll need it for that burn
While internet forums are generally older, the first “comments section,” as we might call it these days was created in 1998, for the digital edition of The Rocky Mountain News. This publication was a real trailblazer, as it also featured one of the first “advice” columns, where readers could ask questions.

The son has been told two directly contradictory things. So he already knows that he can't believe everything he hears.

I sincerely hope your son questions OTHERS a lot about things normal people take for granted. And yes, C. Callicoat seems to hit the nail on the head...your son is asking questions that more intelligent people would ask.

Ok these flat Earthers have got to be playing a massive joke. How the hell is the Earth flat with so much proof that it's round?

Whilst Earth is obviously round, all parents should be teaching their kids to question authority and develop critical thinking before even getting to school.
KimB 1 year ago
How do you teach a kindergartener to "question authority"? it's the opposite of what they teach in school, following school rules or else receive punishment. You know kinda how the work force runs? And that pesky thing called law? Critical thinking skills absolutely I'll give you that and an upvote. Have a good day Tristan.

This, perhaps, is what inspired them to open up the publication to reader comments, as a means of creating engagement and loyalty. This practice would soon become the norm, as newspapers, magazines, fan pages, and the first attempts at social media all began allowing people to share their thoughts on a post, article, or page.

It's not the first time something like that happened, and often the victim thinks the undamaged bible is proof of god.

Now, comment sections are so common that there are entire genres of content based on asking for interactions. From posts that are just questions, to people “selecting” things from “what house you prefer” to favorite brunch items, people do love to share their two cents. This has spawned an entire cottage industry, like the list here, of finding and sharing the best comments.

Knew it had to happen eventually. Gun control? No f*****g way! More taxes? Hell yeah!
Indeed, if something has the option to add comments explicitly turned off, most people immediately wonder what exactly happened here. From trolling, and cyberbullying to intensely heated discussions, the anonymity of the internet often doesn’t exactly make for the most civil posts on controversial topics.

Memo to US restaurants: Apologies for not being clearer when I said you need to “fücking communicate”. If you’re not willing to say what that commenter said, at least say “in the USA we pay our servers $2.something per hour and the tip is to cover the rest of their pay.” If tourists call you barbaric for that, remember that locals also call you barbaric for it. :)
A number of media outlets have actually closed down their comment sections over the last few years for these reasons. Vice Media closed theirs in 2016, as did NPR. IMDB closed their discussion boards (but not user reviews) a year later. In all of these cases, difficulty with moderation was the number one issue.

Plan A is to save the bees. However, Plan A isn't going very well. Plan B (or Bee) is what you come up with as a crappy alternative in case the main one completely fails. Someone has to make the survival nutrition bars in case a hurricane shows up before a hurricane shows up. Someone needs to figure out a work around in case all the bees die before all the bees die.

Moderation is a tricky subject because the entire point of a comments section is to share a diverse set of opinions. After all, if literally everyone believed the same thing, there would be no need for anything but the initial post. However, as it so often happens, a small group of people can ruin things for the rest of us.

9th century Saxons have pathetic heat endurance skills compared to 7th century Bedouins
Research suggests that people who feel that their opinion is already widely supported tend to stay silent and often don’t even look at comments. This is perhaps why comment sections on any debatable topic can look so extreme, it’s only the folks with marginal views that take the time to write out what they think.
As is quite easy to imagine, once you get a forum full of folks with the most extreme opinions, conflict is almost inevitable without strict moderation. Since that requires hiring dedicated staff and developing a constantly evolving policy around what is and isn’t allowed, it’s not surprising that so many pages have slowly decided to forgo comments entirely.

Thank goodness that time is over Edit: I meant the quarantine
Google has been working on AI tools to help moderate, as it would appear there is a (sadly) growing market. However, a more human-centric approach has existed for a while, that is, the user-flagged comment option that you can even find here. In other words, comments that break the rules are simply reported and/or downvoted by other readers.

The fact that he will type "boomer" in its entirety and refer to the other word as the "n-word" speaks volumes about which is worse. They're not comparable in any way, shape, or form.

@nbfresh why did you go through and downvote literally every comment I have made in like a month? And reply saying that I am ‘just as bad’ as some mf saying the n word for liking dodgeball? I just want to talk?

just ignore it. It doesn't matter. People are stupid sometimes and its easier to just acknowledge that and move on with your day. As soon as you engage them, it just encourages s**t behavior. Trust me. I am an awful person.
