Haters and manipulators often seem to monopolize the conversation. Some comments are off-topic, or even topic-less. In this book, Joseph Reagle urges us to read the comments. Conversations "on the bottom half of the Internet," he argues, can tell us much about human nature and social behavior. Reagle visits communities of Amazon reviewers, fan fiction authors, online learners, scammers, freethinkers, and mean kids. He shows how comment can inform us (through reviews), improve us (through feedback), manipulate us (through fakery), alienate us (through hate), shape us (through social comparison), and perplex us. He finds pre-Internet historical antecedents of online comment in Michelin stars, professional criticism, and the wisdom of crowds. He discusses the techniques of online fakery (distinguishing makers, fakers, and takers), describes the emotional work of receiving and giving feedback, and examines the culture of trolls and haters, bullying, and misogyny. He considers the way comment--a nonstop stream of social quantification and ranking--affects our self-esteem and well-being. And he examines how comment is puzzling--short and asynchronous, these messages can be slap-dash, confusing, amusing, revealing, and weird, shedding context in their passage through the Internet, prompting readers to comment in turn, "WTF?!?"--Publisher's description. 001386482 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001386482 650_0 $$aOnline chat groups. 001386482 650_0 $$aElectronic discussion groups. 001386482 650_0 $$aBlogs$$xSocial aspects. 001386482 650_0 $$aInternet$$xSocial aspects. 001386482 653__ $$aINFORMATION SCIENCE/Internet Studies 001386482 653__ $$aINFORMATION SCIENCE/Communications & Telecommunications 001386482 653__ $$aSCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY/General 001386482 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001386482 852__ $$bebk 001386482 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/10116.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001386482 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001386482 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1386482$$pGLOBAL_SET 001386482 980__ $$aBIB 001386482 980__ $$aEBOOK 001386482 982__ $$aEbook 001386482 983__ $$aOnline
