The Different Kinds Of People In The Comments Section

The Different Kinds Of People In The Comments Section

As a sequel to this article about the different types of social media denizens, we will be looking into the different kinds of people in the comments section. 

If you are a frequent patron of social media and other interactive platforms, and you happen to scroll through the comments section, you probably would have come across variegated personalities that abound in that space, and people invariably never fail to entertain you.

From misquoting a commenter or poster and carrying it further by hurling insults to those who totally, it seems, work hard to misunderstand a post to those who leave the ongoing conversation and lunge into marketing their products, these are the "I cannot come and die" gang. 

Below are some of the various characters that take up residence in the comments section:

The waka pass people:

These ones lead simple, stress-free lives, they see a post, they smile, laugh or frown at it, we do not know because they only breeze through the comments section, only seeking gems that would, hopefully, brighten their day, or do otherwise.

The marketers:

via GIPHY


They are everywhere, you could make a post discussing the global need for the embracement of socialism, yet these hustlers will insert (I think it is referred to as 'plug') their products and services out of nowhere; "Guys, I sell braided shoes, just N5,000. Free delivery for Lagos residents, call this number for your order and delivery."

Those who turn every post into a religious discuss:

via GIPHY


People in this category hold the key to the gate of morality and righteousness. They make sure that they do not fall into the ways of the worldly because you just may not know when the unbelievers would drag you into their pit of hell discussing the best and worst dressed celebs at the AMVCA. 

Those who do not read a post to understand and start an insult match with a proportionally aggrieved user:

I think these are the ones that are called trolls. There are two groups here: those who fail to read for a better comprehension, and those who read, understand, and still abuse their comprehension just to rile up another user who has that energy.

Those who like every post, hardly ever contributing anything substantial:

via GIPHY

User1: The government should find the best way to tackle this because the people cannot find it in their hearts to contain such a mess of a debacle. (doesn't make sense? Okay.)

User2/Over 'liker': You're right, bro. (hits the like button)

The best way to learn is by watching others. I agree. Maybe people in this category are simply following that rule. Who knows?


Those who find offense in every post:

via GIPHY

They turn everything into a personal problem. And do not try to air a dissenting opinion, oh, your wig will be snatched.

Those who take to the soapbox to preach about their personal values, highlighting how it does not affect the lives of others with their harangue:

I don't think anything needs to be added here.

The "Please/kindly follow back" gang:

via GIPHY

You could write a thread detailing fine points on how best one can protect oneself against the coronavirus pandemic, and then you'll see the "Please kfb, bro" comment. At least they read through the thread. I guess.

Those who tag friends and enemies:

Need I add anything to this?
