Yeah it worked for the first part of internet history. You talked to people from all over the world.

Now people use the internet like a carnival freak show exhibition. They don’t talk to others. They scroll to gawk at what oddities and tap the glass and jeer at the inhuman thing. Social media is designed this way.

Pretty much…

Especially when you comment anything remotely social or political. The mouth breathers clamor to project their personal war on the nearest comment that vaguely resembles some words they can latch on to.
