10. Believe it or not, I used to be very well known here and had a lot of followers.

Not anymore. This post would have done well a few years ago. But now, about half the comments I get are just people being assholes, for the sake of being assholes. I had a post asking people to be nice and more inclusive in their daily lives. About half the commenters picked it apart, not on the idea; on things I never said, or like kids on Youtube - just being assholes for no reason other than they get a kick out of being basement dwelling trolls and trying to make everyone else miserable.

Ruins it. They've always been here, and it used to truly make me laugh. But now it's such a large percentage that it just makes coming here a bummer, not enjoyable. (See if one of them alerts on this.)
