Websites with the worst Internet comments?

[frankgrimes]

Every politics forum outthere
Youtube - which is thanks to G+ filled with trolls and nobody seems to be able to develop a good comment filter
HFBoards.com, used to be the go to adress for hockeyfans now it's just been taken over by a bunch of loud, obnoxious posters discussing the same thing over and over again and even going as far as discussing political stuff on a sports board.
Twitter - one would think 140 characters aren't enough to make a fool out of yourself well sadly they are
Also sadly every Blizzard (game company) forum

Youtube? But why?

Seems like reading all kinds of comments there would explain it pretty well. Plus various posts in this thread talk about it too.

YouTube
Daily Mail
Yahoo News
The Blaze
FOX News

Just deplorably bad. YouTube comments can be really funny sometimes, but the others have virtually no redeeming qualities at all.

You've already arrived. Hadn't you noticed? :/

I used to think it was TechCrunch.com – but there are so many sites that attract such ignorance that it's hard to narrow it down.

Tech sites in general have come to meet the level of jackassery previously only attained by news sites (specifically political discussions).

I have the solution to keep your blood pressure down, though:

• When you see someone say something like "Do you research" or "check your facts"—Just run. No matter what anyone says, no matter what they can provide links to, these people have made it their goal for the day to say whatever is necessary to continue driving what was an intelligent conversation to a sidebar of stupid.
  
  
• Whenever you see a comment that starts with either "Ummm..." or "Actually"—Just run. Run away fast. Because nothing that follows will be of any value.
  
  
• If the headline contains the word iOS, iPhone, Apple, Steve Jobs, Android or Google. Just don't read the comments. There likely won't be single intelligent or well thought out comment—and if there is, you'll have to scroll too long to find it.
  
  
• If you actually read the comments on ANY politics-based article or site, you're either just a glutton for punishment, or you've never gotten laid in your life. Honestly, why waste your time?!

So basically, if you just avoid the comments of political and tech-related sites, you're golden.

I am not convinced there is any correlation between having ever had/not had sexual intercourse and online commenting, but then, that's a common failure of rationale and/or intentional, thinly-veiled offence placed purposely to stir up wrath, so I shall smile politely and allow you to continue honing your deductive and critical thinking skills.


I'd be PERFECTLY content if the internet suddenly became "read only" - it would immediately negate ANY temptation to react to completely idiotic people, and would allow one to focus more on the "meat and potatoes" of research and entertainment, instead of having to wade through many billions of unsolicited "opinions" offered by people who don't know/care about you OR what you are doing, and just want to stick their oar in.

Breitbart is insane, it'd be funny if MR members would share their nicks here, but that would never happen. I'd share mine, but I was blocked after I questioned the existence of a "christian" "god".
