Perhaps our most striking result was finding an entire class of Reddit users whose primary purpose seems to be to disagree with others. These users specifically seek out opportunities to post contradictory comments, especially in response to disagreement, and then move on without waiting for replies.
So if you look at my comment history at Reddit you would find few “totally agree, here’s an upvote” comments and a lot “I totally disagree with this statement” type of comments. Not because I was trolling. I just find “you’re so right” type of comments boring. I don’t know what the “move on without waiting for replies” part implies. Who waits for replies on reddit? Do they mean they just never reply bak? If so that’s also not typical trolling.
Disagreeing is not trolling. I hate post where everyone just comments the same thing. It’s has no value, it’s boring.
When people have different opinions and exchange ideas it gets interesting.
