I Always Read the Comments

You know the one thing that really blows my mind? People commenting on things on the internet. It’s so bizarre. People are really out here commenting. Who asked? It’s a level of conviction I’m not sure I’ll ever know. Millions of people, probably billions, all over the world, just sitting at home feeling like their opinion needs to be heard. I mean I guess I’m doing a similar thing here, but like, it’s different. I’m not arguing in a comment section on social media. I’m definitely not telling anybody who’s right or wrong or how to feel. It’s so strange to me to comment negatively. It’s not educational, it’s not entertaining, it’s just to start a fight I guess? So weird.

I can’t say it’s not entertaining actually, because I find myself reading comment sections often, sometimes for the drama, mostly for some funny jokes that people put in there. I might scroll through an argument but it leaves me feeling pretty nasty. Just kinda sad that people are having digital thumb wars from what I assume are dark musty corners of their homes. What a waste of valuable time.

That being said, I’ve been thinking about adding a comment section to this page, but I’m not sure nearly enough people read it to be worthwhile. You can email me if you want me to turn comments on. If I get enough of those I’ll think about doing it. But I think come next year, this page is going to go through a pretty massive overhaul so again, I’m not sure it’s worth it at all. The email is at the bottom of the page.
