It exists to put advertising next to the things you find interesting. Thats all. It sells advertising to the highest biddersoften corrupt governments with way more money than mom-and-pop businesses.
I didnt delete, I just talk instead of listen to nonsense. I post interesting articles and move on. Or if I visit a few days later, I may or may not respond to trolls. Why? Because after a few days of comments then EVERYONE who posted gets a notification of a response by me.
Wherever you go, command the room. Control the conversation. Ignore the trolls.
