Don't Read The Comments

Don’t ever, ever, EVER read the comments.

That’s all folks! 2 years, 737 tweets, and 40k followers later, @AvoidComments says goodbye. Thanks for the support. One last reminder…

Happiness will never be found in the comments section. None but rage and disquieted souls lurk there, between thought and flame.

After you finish reading that article, remember to NOT scroll down and read the comments.

Comments sections are probably the worst thing about the internet.

"The problem with internet comments is that you can never really know who's saying them." -- Winston Churchill

If someone has something worthwhile to say, they can write their own article. Comments are too immediate, and rarely contain good thoughts.

"Klaatu barada nikto." Since no official translation was ever given, let's just assume it means, "Hey earthlings, don't read the comments."

If someone told you the internet had hemorrhoids, would you want to look at those, too? Don't read the comments.

Read the comments once, shame on you. Read the comments twice... seriously. So much shame.

You wouldn't listen to someone named Bonerman26 in real life. Don't read the comments.

The next time you're thinking of reading the comments, do a Google image search for "fluffy puppies" instead.

Even if comments are good, you can find something better elsewhere.

It's such a beautiful day... why would you spoil it by reading comments?

Some day, long from now, our children will ask why comments sections were a thing. "We didn't know any better!"

I'd rather stub my toe and then get a papercut on that toe than read another internet comment.

Don't read the comments.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Don't read internet comments.

Here's your daily reminder to simply not read the comments.

Nobody on their deathbed ever said, "I wish I had spent more time reading internet comments."
