When I was a kid and new to FB, someone told me to check the comments on the meme pages. They used to be funny and I thought that I had been missing out. So I made a habit of checking comments of all the posts.

Now it is a cesspool of trolls everywhere.

Now checking comments used to generate so many negative emotions in me that I have told myself the same - "never look at the comments". I feel happier now.

"Never read the comments" is much older than Joe Rogan.

I used to think this was silly advice but every day I only agree with it more and more.

Something about online comments (twitter in particular) gives off the vibe that they're more reactions than well thought out comments.
