I got off social media (mostly) a few years ago because it looked like a significant portion of users would be locked in an overly-evaluative state of mind by it when commenting. This person sucks, or that brand should be canceled, or such and such isn’t exactly to my specifications. And it was clear that these users weren’t exactly happy. It was like they were an avatar of a weird collective of thoughts that needed to express itself and humans were just fuel for the fire. I don’t think we were made to be in an evaluative state of mind as much as social media disposes us to. More to the point, I don’t want to be like that. So I left. It was an easy decision once I saw this. It’s gotten much worse with every passing year. Weird Internet is now anywhere with a comment section.
