Almost simultaneously rising with
the complexity of social media interface, the population of trolls has truly
been a burden on the World Wide Web. It’s as if a single troll spawns three
more following every vulgar post, which is doubly aggravating as they encompass
the majority of popular websites. Yes, it is clear that this issue is
formidable, but to put it to a halt, we must first understand the internet
troll. From my experience, most of the smack I’ve seen talked by them revolves
around a recurring theme of obscene crudeness against the popular opinion. Now,
this leads to two outcomes, the first being equal or greater backlash, and the
latter being a double digit number of dislikes, which in turn also makes it
show up in the top comments for everyone to see. Whichever way it happens, the
troll always receives attention, and I’ve decided that that is exactly what the
trolls are seeking. With this is mind, the solution to the troll epidemic is
simple; do not feed the trolls attention.
These is exactly what I was trying to say as well. The less attention they receive the less initiative they'll have to attack others. I too have seen those examples of trolls but it all varies from person to person. The point being this problem isn't going away and it's time we do something about it.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. I feel that once they realize they are getting little to no attention, they will stop doing what they are doing because they will no longer have the satisfaction of seeing people get hurt. Another problem is that some people are just so quick to lash back at trolls without thinking about it.
