But your friend is wrong. She does know at least one person who comments on online forums. I bet she knows more too.

Completely agree. Look at some videos on YouTube. 20,000 comments on brand new videos sometimes. A lot of good people are commenting on the internet. The problem is that the trust in public institutions is at an all time low, and that is leading to much more doom and gloom and those of us who are from the 2000s can feel the difference in the comment sections.

Don't ask don't tell.

exactly!
