    I comment on stuff to try to make discussions active, it rarely works.

        That’s just not true. I’ve made comments that I thought desirve no reply but humans find a way. If there’s no comments to read the shared content just isn’t that interesting. If I see comments then the shared content must be interesting enough to justify a discussion.

            Of course it helps. But some of my shitty comments are scaping the bottom of the barrel of my knowledge or patience with the replier…

        I comment because I crave validation from Internet strangers.

        I disagree. It doesn’t have to be authentic necessarily. All you have to do to promote conversations is to disagree with someone. At least, that’s how things seem to go here

          That’s not true at all, disagreeing doesn’t mean you get replies to comments /s

            Are you disagreeing with my disagreement? I emphatically disagree with that

              If you want me to go on arguing, you’ll have to pay for another five minutes.

      This is something I’ve learned from online game forums. You actually have to be divisive to get a high amount of concurrent users.

      It only seems to be the shit-shows that anyone feels obligated to post in.

        Well I think you’re wrong, fuck you and your opinion /s

        I actually don’t know to what extent I agree with you, but your theory certainly feels plausible to me. It reminds me of the internet adage about how the best way to get a right answer to your question is to be wrong. I can’t remember what it’s called.

            Aye, cunningham seemingly meant it as the fastest answer though, which was the sentence right afterwards in that wiki entry. So maybe mr. anarchist-with-a-machine-fetish would have gotten an answer earlier if he had said it was the anti-murphy’s law.
