Ever scrolled to the bottom of an article and found yourself sucked into the vortex of comments? You're not alone. The comments section - that often-maligned territory beneath our digital content - represents a fascinating ecosystem that shapes how we perceive information, make decisions, and even view ourselves. In "Reading the Comments," Joseph Reagle takes us on an illuminating journey through this overlooked dimension of internet culture. Why do some online communities thrive while others devolve into toxicity? What drives us to seek validation through likes and shares? The answers reveal profound insights about human psychology in the digital age. "Don't read the comments" has become common advice - yet we can't seem to help ourselves. Comments are simultaneously everywhere and invisible, shaping our experiences while we barely notice their influence. They're reactive, asynchronous communications that follow something else, appearing beneath videos, articles, and social media posts. What makes comment sections so problematic? It comes down to human cognitive limitations. Anthropologist Robin Dunbar discovered that our brains evolved primarily to track about 150 meaningful social relationships - what he calls "Dunbar's number." When online communities grow beyond this threshold, quality often deteriorates as our capacity for meaningful discourse gets overwhelmed.
