Twitter is great if you are interested in breaking news on specific topics. Most people aren’t though.

Twitter is terrible for discussions, so there I agree with Joe Rogan: “never look at the comments”.

When I was a kid and new to FB, someone told me to check the comments on the meme pages. They used to be funny and I thought that I had been missing out. So I made a habit of checking comments of all the posts.

Now it is a cesspool of trolls everywhere.

Now checking comments used to generate so many negative emotions in me that I have told myself the same - "never look at the comments". I feel happier now.

I used to think this was silly advice but every day I only agree with it more and more.

Something about online comments (twitter in particular) gives off the vibe that they're more reactions than well thought out comments.

"Never read the comments" is much older than Joe Rogan.
