I would actually like this. Imagine if online discussion was so visibly bad that no one used it anymore. Talk to real people. Go outside.

- smt88 4y agoYouTube comments used to be that bad. People still read them.
- 14 4y agoWell you kind of need to ever since the dislike count was removed.
- themitigating 4y agoYou checked the dislike count before reading the comment? That's almost a superpower of visual focus since they are next to each other Edit -Didn't realize he meant video counts
- ipaddr 4y agoParent is referencing seeing the total dislike summary that appeared before the comment section where you are talking about dislikes on each comment.
- nyuszika7h 4y agoSome people have social anxiety.
- wussboy 4y agoThey have social anxiety because they never went outside. “Outside” and “with other people” are our ancestral environment. Social media is abnormal and makes abnormal people.
- stubish 4y ago"with other people" means family group. Society changed radically once the Industrial Revolution hit and people started living in environments where they didn't know well everyone around them.
- wussboy 4y agoIn a non automobile culture you absolutely did know the people around you, Industrial Age or not. And if you think the people around you being family would somehow make it easier, I think you need a little more family. :)
- revscat 4y agoI have social anxiety because of a lifetime of psychological and physical abuse from everyone I have ever considered “family”, with only two exceptions. It has nothing to do with “outside”, and your idiotic hot take discounts the lives and experiences of thousands who have been through similar situations and worse.
- wussboy 4y agoIt discounts no such thing. Your unfortunate experience (for which I truly feel sympathy) has nothing to do with how evolution or socio-biology work or the significance of our ancestral environments or the statistically significant fact that even you, with your unique and very real burdens, if you went outside and met with other people would probably feel less anxiety.
