I’ve posted quite a bit on here since I created my account, posts I consider non-controversial, since I’m not interested in arguing or getting into heated topics like politics. Even so, I still get the occasional snarky comment. Out of curiosity, I sometimes check the person’s post history when I see something like that, and without fail, their profile is full of snarky, negative, or hateful posts overall. It always makes me wonder: do people like this genuinely get enjoyment from surrounding themselves with negativity? What’s the thought process behind it?
My best guess is that they’re confused and angry and, given no healthy alternatives, they vent their corrupted spleens all over the Internet.
A lot of them are probably also actually shitbags with an agenda (like people who work at troll farms) and a lot of them are just mentally ill (like people who hang out in troll farm echo chambers).
