    And yet some have no such filter and start firing off comments without a second thought.

    They didn’t read article, didn’t spend time forming an opinion, and yet they may still be the highest voted comment in the thread. It’s like drive-by comment diarrhea.

    I wish most threads had a “serious conversation” area separated from the humor/low-effort section.

      That serious conversation area has crossed my mind many times too! Or a crowd-sourced extension to highlight engaging comments.

      On reddit in particular I was exhausted to go into the comments only to scroll past heaps of accounts making the same tired jokes and low effort jabs they’ve seen around the topic before. Anything to skip the millionth ‘falling out of the window’ or ‘getting shot in the back of the head twice’ joke.
