I was wondering why I hadn't seen that flamewar here yet. Could you link me to some of these? As someone who occasionally reads YouTube comments for fun, I actually am interested in getting a more concrete sense of what such people are saying.

- leokun 13y agoYou read angry and hateful comments for fun or to make you feel good about yourself because at least you're not that bad?
- saraid216 13y agoWell, one: I am that bad. I just express it at different moments in different ways. Two: it's educational. This kind of attitude comes out of something, and unless I intend to just kill everyone I don't like, I need to figure out how to engage, neutralize, and rehabilitate attitudes that go beyond disagreeable into being problematic. And I don't intend to kill them all. So I'm just going to have to understand them.
