We're Replacing Comments with Something Better

Great example of innovation from Vice. If only those starchy ol' newspapers could have thought of something like a 'letters to the editor' section... What? Oh.

In all seriousness, it's probably a good move for Motherboard to do this. By and large, comments sections are kinda terrible, but this appears magnified on Vice Network sites in my experience.

The very first sentence of the Vice post:

>As a kid, whenever I'd get some BMX or car magazine in the mail, I'd always dive in first to the letters to the editor.

You failed to see the sarcasm ;)

yohoho22 was disarming the sarcasm by specifying that the article already made the point literally.

How could anyone fail to see it? I still wanted to include it in my point. Not a lot of disarming to do.

Indeed. They seem to have a very loyal fanbase that spends an enormous amount of time telling Vice how much they suck.
