Why Do People Troll?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- You’ve probably encountered trolling on social media, in comment threads, or maybe even in real life. But have you ever stopped to think about why these people troll?
The Internet is the perfect place to be anonymous. Trolls often take advantage of this, provoking and upsetting others while hiding behind an online identity. In doing so, they avoid real-world consequences.
Most people are motivated by positive social rewards, meaning that they feel good when they do something nice for others. Giving someone a gift, holding a door, or just complimenting someone can evoke positive feelings.
Trolls are motivated by something entirely different. They tend to have higher levels of negative social potency. This means they enjoy making others suffer and the attention that comes along with it. Dishing out insults and provoking others into arguments gives them satisfaction.

Once a person starts trolling,it's hard to stop.
Yup. Like Pringles.
Troll them back
@@unitedislandofmeme9507 Yep,they want that interaction.
Yup. Just like they want Hitler to return and Palestine to be free of Israel.

I remember some trolling on RUclips 12 years ago. I kept biting into its words. After a while I took a step back and realized that I have a better chance of convincing a dry wall to go to college than talking to a troll. Nowadays when a leave a comment I just pretend that they are not there and just reply to comments that are actually constructive. It’s like blocking a user but in your head since RUclips doesn’t let you do that.
Bro said convincing a drywall to go to college 🤣🤣😭😭
You can banned them tho 😂

People do it out of boredom...like a virtual social experiment. The people who do it to genuinely hurt someone are rare.
Most trolls that do it to hurt someone have been hurt themselves..
But it does not mean they must hurt someone else and they will get bullied more or be more unliked by the ppl they troll but who am i to say i dont controll them

Sometimes an honest debate that goes for a lengthy time can be confused as trolling. You can usually yell the difference. Trolls only want to cut someone down.
@AK KD The person who is publicly posting needs to accept that not everyone will agree with them and should expect that instead of whining that they are being trolled.
What can I bring you up on top of?

There are fun trolls and there are mean trolls. Fun trolls are like pranksters you just have to learn to laugh with them and take the joke. Mean trolls are usually people who are bored or want to hurt someone. It's better to be in the company of a fun troll in all honesty. I look at someone like Borat or Eric Andre as a fun troll in real life. They live for the reaction but they don't intend any harm.
Trolls disliking this post 😂
Trolled people liking this post 😂
Trolling is especially very strong when discussing politics, you say something you like and then the other person sees your comment and attacks you just for supporting the agenda of your choosing.
That is not trolling if it is genuine. People can disagree and not be a troll
@@jacobmarley2417 Calling people names and attacking them is trolling.
@@mcmike89 In and of itself no it definitely is not. Everything is determined by the motive or intent you are confusing trolling with holding a position based on your definition regarding politics.
@@jacobmarley2417 I’m sorry, but I disagree with your description of what you mean by trolling.
@@mcmike89 No need to be sorry, we most certainly can disagree. Language is fluid as well imo.

To those of you who think trolling is funny, it's NOT! Trolling is basically the same thing as cyberbullying, and there is absolutely NOTHING funny about bullying of ANY kind! 😡 Ever heard of the saying: "treat others the way you want to be treated"? Think about it: How would you feel if the tables were turned and someone was trolling you?
Shut up Lmao.
Also would you like me to butter those beautiful muffins of yours?
Bullying is actually good I was bullied because of the way I looked and my name I realized that these people that did this to me.
Were just envious and now my name is known around Nigeria along with everyone wanting to be African now.
But these people who want to be African are African Americans who ridiculed the way I look and my name.

Whenever you make a comment on RUclips . . .
There's going to be at least three types of replies . . .
I agree.
I disagree.
There is no comment.

A disagreeable comment doesn't make a person a Troll.
They r crazy lol
I'm fine thank you
@τгᄋււ Why are you sad, bruh most comments say "stay mad"😂
Trolls are usually people who have failed in some capacity and are looking to transfer their toxicity to normal successful people. That's been my observation.
nobody has ever in their life failed at something in school and thought im going to throw someones game to feel better about myself lmao
@@LOLzum101 That's an odd spin, went off the reservation with that one. The topic is online trolls, genius. lol
As a troll myself, sometimes we transfer toxicity to other trolls/bullies, I usually stop when other people who have lives awknowledge the argument and now they look like idiots
@@MrPotassiumMan Sounds similar to how I deal with Holocaust deniers and historical "revisionists". Troll the troll? Fair game

Some people have a need to troll because of many inconsiderate people out there that makes them uncomfortable.
I'm that fish that when your trolling and catch me I pull you right in the water.
Oh, that kind of fish! That is the good one!
I know this wasn't the point of the video, and yes, I know no one asked, but I just wanted to say this: I found that it's a lot easier to just delete troll comments from your channel's comment sections or just heart the troll comments you get, because that would be the exact opposite reaction that they wanted out of you. It's dangerous for me to comment on RUclips, because my entire profile makes me a very big target here, but I just wanted to comment here. Thanks. :)
yeah Ive just hearted them sometimes lol

Cool story bro
Not at all
@@AlohaKorean Here we go.
troll people sucks
Believe me ignoring ppl like that bothers them more then responding to them 😂 seeking attention and not getting a reaction really hurts their them
Getting upset by a troll is something I fail to understand. There are even people who commit suicide from being trolled by people they don't even know! You are engaging with a machine for God's sake!
No one likes being bullied. That's a given. 🙄 Also, think of the possibility that the victim could've already been suffering from depression because of previous bullying and they just snap. I know what it's like. I've battled depression before and it's no fun. And just because you don't understand something doesn't mean be a butthole about it. Just saying. You don't know their situation.
It's hardwired into us to desire and need belonging. What trolls do is a lot more evil than they realize.
Trolls...
Yes, good advice, but what to do with trolls that will come back with countless other so-called empty "sock puppet" accounts, no matter how often you block them? They are very annoying, and write comments like "Hi :) It's been a while :) I'm back! And you won't get rid of me! Hehehe! :D :D :D " It's very frusttrating and annoying. What can I do about it?
!00% this works just ignore them!
Trolling is my guilty pleasure.
I'm Michael Jordan... Stop it!, get some help.
trolling is fun when its not mean or harmful to people
This isn't trolling lol, this is straight up bullying
That's why I stopped and regretted it, it may have been fun at first but when you get older just makes you wish you haven't done it at all knowing it causes you to make mistakes on social media
I had been a victim last night. I switched off my gps and switch on flight mode
Trolling is also a form of self projection from their real world identities and how they feel out of place in public-so they try to find a victim to put their anger out on.
I admit some troll has certainly kinds of strength (a type of "geekiness") I posted some contents on platform, then it came a guy "rather lengthy" passage pointing out my misunderstanding about the field. I first saw this as a sign that he hoped to interact with me, which I kind of longed (as I feel myself being marginal on the platform) Though I still I believe, given he post up a rather long comment, he should perhaps introduce himself first or add some that "Hey I believe your work is great yet I believe in several points, doing this way would be better"
And in later comments, I find it more and more irritating . He started to utter boastful words about himself, bragging himself as if he is the most knowledgeable expert of the field. And saying others working in the same field in the forum is negligible.
I would say that trolliness may somehow just the other side of geekiness. When you are geek on one thing, you want to express your knowledge on this, but sometimes one will go obesessed. But having explored the relationship between a geek and troll doesn't mean the troll part would give pleasure to others, we somehow need to transform that part to be a lubricant to facilitate the delivery of knowledge you are "sharp" on

My thing is, is that sometimes its hard for me to tell the difference between a troll, and someone who is just wording something in a weird way intentionally or not. Hmmm.... 🤔.
Videos pretty dead on except I never troll the innocent, only people who are asking for it. For example self righteous people who stand on soap boxes and smell their own farts..... So essentially everyone on Twitter is fair game.
What is Troll...?
Hahamwahahahahahaha ... I have no idea Google it
A troll is a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses[2] and normalizing tangential discussion,[3] whether for the troll's amusement or a specific gain.
Both the noun and the verb forms of "troll" are associated with Internet discourse. However, the word has also been used more widely. Media attention in recent years has equated trolling with online harassment. For example, the mass media have used "troll" to mean "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families".[4][5] In addition, depictions of trolling have been included in popular fictional works, such as the HBO television program The Newsroom, in which a main character encounters harassing persons online and tries to infiltrate their circles by posting negative sexual comments.

Ships *trawl* with big nets - no bait involved. The term *troll* was derogatory, describing a homeless person living under a bridge -not bait on a fishing rod. In stories designed to scare kids it refers to hideous, dangerous, territorial monsters who.. live under bridges... like Billygoat’s Gruff: “under the bridge lived a great ugly troll, with eyes as big as saucers..” Now troll refers to a mean internet user, or sometimes unfairly, anyone who exposes a falsity. We’ll see if anyone calls me a troll for this comment! :) what fun!

They thrive on attention, if anything just completely block them all if they're online of course
Block them and delete their comments. They thrive on getting a response. To those who say they can't understand why anyone would downvote a video, likely they don't even bo⁶⁷5ther to view the video. Their purpose is clicking the thumbs down regardless of the topic or content. it's a waste of your time to comment to ask why they do it.
They'll still make alt accounts
@@lynnquin8565 Problem is a lot of people don't know how to block and delete unsavoury comments.

I'm an amateur troll. But I'm working hard to move to the next level and become a pro. 💪
The people that troll common sense conversations with udder BS is infuriating AF, I've learned not to feed the trolls but when an entire comment becomes irrelevant because some one made a joke is completely deranged and not funny at all. Learn to troll better losers.

You're so welcome!
I am sure I will be accused of trolling, but I am also using my real name. Originally the term troll was created as a racist trope or a racist signal to white people that a person does not belong in this forum. I was there, i know how this was originally used. Usually people calling someone a troll were the trolls. Again Usenet moderators were usually anonymous and the ones who used this trope. And this video does a great job of pointing out that the anonymity gave them power. So the very creators of the term where actually the trolls and they used the new term to shut down controversial topics such as equality and the end of racism in tech. As for the psychology, you just described how racism works. Black people were accused of being "uppity" or controversial or basically trolls when they tried to fight for rights in America. Racists would accuse them of "looking for attention" they craved. The word "troll" itself is newish but the racism behind it is old. The picture you painted of a troll sitting in a chair. It's called DE-anthropomphization, it is meant to dehumanize the person on the other side. A common racist stand as well. And finally I could care less if anyone responds and would rather no one did. My hope is this post stands as a record of the real intent behind the word troll and how racist it is.
That's interesting. I never knew the origin. Thanks for sharing. 🙂 And, hey, I'm not even mad. It's informative, right?...

Trolling has the spirit of pranking. Just make sure you don't actually hurt anyone. I prefer reverse pranking/trolling... pranking a prankster. So much fun to waste the time of those who intended to waste mine. Check mate!
How is making people sad or angry akin to pranking? Its not even close. The intent of a prank is to be funny and creative, the intent of trolling is to piss people off or make them depressed.
I have seen people that have been pranked laugh most of the time. Its the exact opposite with trolling. The person getting trolled never laughs.
You waste your time by wasting it with those that intend to waste your time? That is so stupid i have to wonder if you are trolling.
Seems like this generation is without morals. Maybe that's why they are so pissed at older generations for things like slavery. Its all projection. They lack morals so they project that on to everyone else to cope. Pathetic...
