So you're watching your favorite YouTube movie and you scroll down to see the comments. All of a sudden, you read a comment from a user who is swearing their head off and saying how much they hate the people who made it. So how do you react?

Personally, I actually find it entertaining to read comments from haters, but it's pretty sad to note that in the modern world, people with absolutely nothing to do would rather waste time, bandwith, and kilobytes just writing an absolutely pointless comment rather than actually doing something.

i agree with you. actually, i think the whole world agrees with you. i don't understand why haters do that (take the time to write out a comment on something they don't like.) it always confused me but... oh well. that's just what society has become. i'm not sure i'm liking what this world is becoming. i'm starting to lose faith in humanity, but i have definite faith that He's watching over us.

I've been to a few haters' profiles. All the messages the lovers (I guess that's the right term) leave can be summed up as "$#@$ you, you $#@$@ @!%!^*#@".

So I guess "lovers" aren't any better, really.

Well in reality Trolls of all types have been roaming the earth for quite a while now. Let's start way back in about 35 to 37 BC. Us poor little Christians were being captured and thrown into Coliseums to be fed to lions. Why would they go through the time to
1 Find lions, cage them, and feed them.
2Find a bunch of renegades throughout a massive empire whose only mark was drawn on the ground and then hastily erased.
3 Get people to watch these gruesome killings.
Then we go to something more recent and a wound that's a little more tender, Slavery.
How did we (We being us crackers) find time to
1 Kidnap a bunch of poor innocent Africans
2 hire random sailors and ship captains to
3a sail across the atlantic in massive ships that
3b had to be built by hand
4 take the time to auction them off
5 house them
6 feed them
7 beat them
8 humiliate them
9 make them hate us for almost all of the rest of the time humanity will stay on earth and possibly longer.
So "trolling" has been around for quite a while and so has being a troll.

@Rytram-
A little off topic, but your first explanation severely reminds me of football. xd

And troll have only degraded with time. At least in the colonial times, slavers made it a business. Nowadays they just waste time for free. Silly trolls.

...or do they? What if, and this is a big IF, but what if there's some website in the background that pays people money to troll on sites?



...that's just mind-boggling.

yeah.. i like how you use the terms "lovers" though. that's funny. there really isn't a side for this argument. i guess "haters" can put their critism into nicer words? i don't really know what to say. as long as i know that i won't be leaving hateful comments, i'm good.

So this could be a massive conspiracy. Is this government pay or is this something more like the Mafia? We could be seeing a new generation of internet hitmen. Instead of killing you in real life through their pointless comments they upload a virus onto your computer which basically destroys all your files and thus you no longer exist. everything you have done becomes lost. It's a way of killing you without killing you.

All I would say to the trolls or haters is this: If you really hate or loathe the thing that bad, why bother taking any action at all? Why use your time, energy on something you don't even like?
True, they're not doing anything productive for themselves or for the online community. stare

I don't think haters are interested into criticizing. I think they like to bash stuff in the hopes that whatever they're hating on finally goes down--a very stupid hope for sure.

Just because you can waste bandwidth and kilobytes just typing what crud you have to say doesn't mean you should.

I guess that's something no one knows anymore. We just type whatever comes to mind and never look back, and if some punk rants on us, or whatever along those lines, we shut them up with a few swear bombs of our own and hope they get run over or something for being such a stupid idiot.

I've seen that too many times, whether from trolls or not.
