Most people on the internet aren't bad, amirite?

The internet is tantamount to a swimming pool without lifeguards. It's like a big vast city. You don't who or what you're going to come into contact with. Some people might be bad, some good, just like in real life.

And just like in real life sometimes you never know upfront until it's too late

small percentage This isn't the '90s, and most people on the internet are either very respectful or still treat it like it's the '90s. Nothing to do with hate either way.

No you actually didn't. OP didn't say that. Close, but not exactly the same.

A small percentage of people use the internet According to this Out of the nearly 8 billion people in the world, 5.35 billion of them, or around 66% of the world's population, have access to the internet Even more to the point 62.3 percent of the world's population are social media users. Those are not small percentages.

OP this isn't the 90s. The internet isn't some weird thing only tech enthusiasts are interested in. My grandparents who can't navigate Netflix use it. The entire world is dominated by the internet. If the internet went down tomorrow, the world economy would crash.

I don't think a large majority are truly bad. The small number of people who do use thr internrt tend to act that way because they are anonymous and seeking attention. Then again, you could say the opposite is true. That the anonymity gives them a sense of what they would behave like if they weren't held accountable for their actions. Similar to how the general German public behaved during WWII (because they didnt think they would be held accountable) or certain social experiments like the Stanford prison experiment, or the performance art of Marina Abramovic.But, often times, your typical troll behavior is to instill a reaction. I don't suspect they would behave this way in real life, unless under specific circumstances. They just know they can get away with it much easier online.

I have the feeling lately social networks have become EXTREMELY toxic. A lot more toxic than reality. I seriously think of using internet in the future only for documentation and creativity.

66.2% of global population uses the internet. I guess that's small.

This isn't unpopular as much as just wrong. Most people don't use the Internet? Saying horrible things is OK so long as you don't in real life? Is that your point? Terribly made arguement but at the root of it - yes, most people aren't terrible. But the worst ones shout loudest. We know this.

most people on the internet arent people

Why couldn't internet exist if everyone was terrible ? Of course it could . Do you have any data on the claim that only a small percentage of people use the internet?

by Anonymous 1 week ago

They're people, so yeah they are.

Most people use the internet. A smaller percentage are people that are active in discussion and debates because we have some need to be met that it satisfies. Don't trust us, we need more attention than the average person.

That's just a fact of life 50% of people are fine 25% of them are good but that last 25% that are major assholes or very loud
