Not agreeing or disagreeing with the post you are replying to, but the people who comment here are different to the general people who consume here.
Putting aside whether there’s a correlation, forums develop their own unique cultures—a product of the moderation system, unspoken norms, and the specific individuals who comment there. A different forum might be discussing the exact same articles in a very different way.
Curious, why do you think so? Its hard for me to see any correlation with social/tech news consumption and being difficult to work with.
