You should honestly ask yourself why this is not a popular comment.
If you start by assuming everyone else is arguing in bad faith ("people who just wanna be seen looking like they care"), then it's easy to dismiss any criticism, and it'll be hard for you to prove yourself wrong.
If you never try to know when you're wrong, you could end up stuck with wrong beliefs for the rest of your life.
I have no stake in your life, but I'd recommend against that.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoI know why it's a not a popular comment. Because everyone who cares enough to sling shit on the internet but not more than that is annoyed that I pointed out that that's where their line is drawn. The fact that people think every un-flattering observation about online discourse is assumed to be in bad faith says something. I'm not sure what but it's certainly un-flattering as well.
- kelnos 5y agoUnflattering observations are fine, if they're based on solid evidence or at least some sort of logical process of determination. You do neither of those things and just throw around your personal opinion as gospel. It's unnecessary and doesn't add anything of value to the conversation.
