    1. parody reviews

      I have seen this being done on yelp by people who really disliked a restaurant they went to. They will post photos of the food purposefully shading it in a bad light and then write a sarcastic review giving the restaurant 5 stars. While it isn't nice of them to be ingenuine I think it isn't completely harmful as the restaurant still gets 5 stars from them and benefits from that.

    1. with the goal of causing disruption or provoking an emotional reaction.

      Personally I have found that one of the most common kinds of trolling found is when people comment something sarcastically or ingenuine on a post where someone was hoping to be taken seriously. I find this form of trolling to me very discouraging and harmful.

      I think that its funny when social media sites put in so much effort to enforcing policies against using emojis and non offensive symbols but struggle to remove hate crimes or cyberbullying even when it is reported.

    1. But, even though our focus is on internet-based social media platforms, since all media are social and all society is mediated, we will find that much of what we observe is also common throughout the rest of human culture.

      I think that calling internet based platforms social media is funny and the opposite of what it is. Although you interact online using it and see others lives I feel the physical media off the internet like art is more social as you are face to face.

    1. only follow rules that you are ok with everyone else following.

      I think that this can seem like the moral thing to do but it can also depend on ones positionally in life. For instance there are many things that less fortunate or less wealthy people should be able to have special access to that shouldn't apply to the more fortunate. What I am saying is this doesn't feel like it would always have an equitable outcome.
