Oh, Wow! I didn’t really think of this. I was reading a Snopes article and it talked about how trolls get their kicks.
What it amounted to was that they don’t care whether it’s good publicity or bad; they simply want their statements repeated. I realized that I was doing a lot of contributing to the problem by “sharing” the statement or meme or whatever across the medias.
It made sense when I read it. “This is horrible!” and “This is great!” will both get looked at and passed on.
Keeping this short, I paraphrased above. The article is good and well worth reading:
Namaste,
