To ask wtf is with the bottom feeder Daily Mail commenters?

[Wellhelloxx11xx]

I have a job somewhat related to PR so I’m exposed to social media (YouTube, Instagram, Twitter), as well as online newspapers a lot. I see a lot of comments on these platforms & the one thing that stands out is how absolutely toxic the Mail Online commenters are. Much more so than any other medium including Twitter.

It honestly disturbs me. Every article (especially about a woman) usually results in a mass pile on for literally no reason. I’m just wondering why DM is SO much worse than other platforms? & if any of these commenters use Mumsnet (which I’m sure they do) wtf why do you do it? I honestly feel drained every time I see the site. A woman just existing results in a mass hysterical pile on 90% of the time.

'A while back, I stopped trying to argue them out of it and instead offered £20 cash for anyone who could show my a story in the , however brief, that is warm and generous to a women, without using it to belittle another woman.

That £20 still sits on my dressing table.'

The Guardian comments on FB anyway are just full of people posting "this is peak snowfake, Liberal Guardian" and "call this journalism/news? " when it's obviously a lifestyle piece.

Twitter is far, far worse IMO as lot of the attacks are personal, continuous, sustained bullying and include death threats, even those to not necessarily in the public eye (not that should make a difference but unfortunately it does). I don't know why the DM is being singled out either other than being the most popular and therefore contains the most comments as the Guardian, the Mirror and the Telegraph have vile comments left on there as well.

The Guardian no longer allows comments on articles covering even remotely contentious subjects

Really? The only times I've ever noticed the Guardian not allowing comments is on its Trans articles and the very rare occasions it has, 90% of the comments that were left disagreed with their stance completely. I thought that was why.
