Good comments on the internet are like excellent supporting actors. Sometimes they can make such a difference, they'll steal the show. You may have clicked on a YouTube video by theneedledrop, but you're giving a like to one of his subscribers joking about the guy's bald head.
So it comes as no surprise that there's an entire Instagram account dedicated to this art. Called Comment Awards, it shares the most creative and funniest observations people have made online. Continue scrolling to check out its top posts! And, of course, don't forget to comment on them.

Also sweet that saving someone's life and therefore missing a job interview (which was probably hard to get in the first place because of his background) and have that called SKIPPING. Eff you very much, CBS
When folks at FiveThirtyEight asked 8,500 internet commenters why do they do what they do, the answers, people gave a wide range of answers.
"Our respondents' reasons for commenting mirror the results of a recent survey of 600 news commenters by Talia Jomini Stroud and her colleagues at the University of Texas at Austin's Engaging News Project," Christie Aschwanden wrote in FiveThirtyEight. "In their survey, the top three reasons that people gave for commenting were 'to express an emotion or opinion,' 'to add information' or 'to correct inaccuracies or misinformation.'"
Certain stories, however, generate a disproportionate number of comments, and after years of being on the receiving end of comments, Aschwanden has formed a theory: the subjects most likely to elicit impassioned responses are those that feel personal to the reader (a real-life experience with the subject has made them feel like an expert) and those that hit on identity in some way.
"[My insight is] based on something a newspaper reporter in Boulder told me many years ago," Aschwanden explained. "Back then, readers were still mailing letters to the editor, and they had a seemingly endless appetite to debate two things: who was at fault in conflicts between cars and bikes and whether dogs should be allowed to run unleashed on city trails."
To test this theory, Aschwanden asked the people who took the survey about the circumstances that made them most likely to comment.
"The answers lent at least some support to the bikes-and-dogs theory. But respondents’ reasons were more complex than my one, unified theory; commenters were also driven by a desire to provide their own information or to argue against an idea they disagreed with."
At the end of the day, commenters want the same thing as us publishers — to be heard. So if they have something to say, we're glad they can do so on our platform.

Publisher's AGM: "Now let's not forget everybody, those academic texts all need minuscule revisions before the start of the university year, so that we can brand them as a new edition. We don't want to loose out on any sales at $300 per copy to other students selling the copies the no longer use!"

Oh WOW, the last response is just great. It's sweet to try and raise awareness but this might not be the way.

Do sports in the US have programs? A Braille page in one of those would have been a much better idea.

My deaf cousin with her implant says deaf people are jerks to those who try to gain some hearing. Seen and heard it. They call it “Deaf Culture” and people with implants call it being a prejudiced jerk

That is so sad!!! Why shouldn't they try to gain some hearing? That's so wrong.

I never really got “awareness” but then I never really understood why so called charity CEOs and others got a paid roughly a million for their “work”.

Braille lettering certainly can't be touched/read when it's on TV.

I worked for decades at a U.S. airline and the pilot and flight attendant briefing rooms had Braille lettering on them. Thought that was a bit unnecessary and just a little scary.

Yeah, it's like those "Marches against cancer". What's the point? Do they think they are going to intimidate cancer into giving up and going away? They often say it's to "raise awareness". I guess all those people who have never heard of cancer?

Ok, this was the one that made me choke on my own saliva today. Thank you, OP, needed that.

My aunt caught covid from the pastor at a small church meeting. Less than two months later, she, her husband and her youngest daughter were dead. And people don't understand why I don't go anywhere.
