Yahoo Comments Section

I use Yahoo for email, so I sometimes look at the Yahoo homepage as well. They are apparently assessing whether or not they should continue having comments following their "articles." Most are click-bait. When I read the comments, though, the amount of RW-Nut comments are appalling. Almost everything becomes a political argument and progressives appear to be vastly outnumbered on there. I don't even bother engaging anyone on there.

A couple themes I've noticed include rampant racism. Every time an article mentions any criminal activity by a black person, the usual crowd chimes in with something about "15-80" or something (I forget the exact number)---that black people make up 15% of the population but commit 80% of the crime or some such crap. Yet they ignore the crime family in the White House that are fucking over each and every one of us (except the oligarchs, I guess). Another thing I've noticed is that whenever a woman is arrested for sex with a minor, that seems to be just great to the usual crowd of commentators. Maybe all this is why they shut it down. Today I looked and there was a survey to take about our thoughts on the comments section. So I said they'd be better off without them b/c people are horrible on there. I am better off not having the ability to give in and look in there. I usually leave with higher blood pressure and greater disappointment in American society.

The way I see it, it's one less place for Russians to post creepy bullshit--so good riddance (hopefully).
