I’d say it’s easier to make low effort, nearly worthless posts, which always tend to sound obnoxious if not downright noxious. This is a consequence of social media just being so accessible, and in fact the successful sites cultivate it because clicks are revenue. There are levels of low quality drivel, from the endless topquoting that started on Pinterest, to the know-it-all know-nothing of Twitter, the no-life simulator that is Reddit, and many more styles I’ve noticed. Even HN gets some boring phoned in paycheck comments. Being angry makes you see it more. It makes a reader feel devalued, which perpetuates the anger. The trick as far as I can see is to ignore stupid comments.
