How to deal with Internet trolls
|
If you want to list the phenomena that can be seen in large numbers in social networks, then they are definitely Internet trolls. These are people who intentionally add offensive, offensive, or contradictory comments. Their goal is to elicit responses from others who rate and comment on their contributions. It doesn\’t matter if the reaction is positive or negative (in fact, these comments are often controversial because negative is preferred), the main thing is that there is 1.
There are many reasons why these people do this. The most common by far is simple entertainment. They enjoy the way people discuss under their posts. After all, that\’s what it\’s all about – starting a discussion and just laughing from behind the monitor. In addition, the anonymity of the Internet guarantees that essentially nothing will happen.
You might be wondering why the website doesn\’t do anything about it. After all, it is not, these people are in their best interest to stop? In fact, it turns out that it is not. On the contrary, it is profitable to allow trolls to operate freely on the site, not only in social networks, but also on other sites, at least within the framework of applicable law.
The reason for this is quite simple: the more you comment on a particular page, the better. And if we allow ourselves to be dragged into (often futile) discussions with trolls, we often visit the site and often comment here that, depending on how many people are watching it and how many people are interacting with the site in some way, we receive money for advertising – it\’s a good idea. For example, not only by writing a comment, but also by evaluating it, for example.
What to do if you find such a person? By far the best solution is to ignore it. Even if we take what he says seriously, we can\’t convince him. In addition, they often have several profiles that respond to comments with different names to elicit even more reaction. If we don\’t give them that, their work is useless – and that\’s what we should strive to achieve.
