A Day in the Life of an Internet Commenter

Don’t be confused. This is not the life of a troll. No, trolls relish their hate and return over and over, refreshing the page every few seconds looking for more troll bait. Most internet commenters are a different species all together. They only speak up when there is something wrong or they’re disgusted, vowing never to return to your site again. The next day they start the cycle all over again.

Luckily for us, the Gearfuse readers are some of the greatest and most cheerful people in the world and we don’t really get negative comments very often unless we really mess up. And in that case they’re polite about 95% of the time. From what I’ve read on other sites, we are extremely lucky. Our commenters are of a different breed. A higher caliber. Hug? Just kidding. You have germs.
