Most mainstream media websites no longer have comment sections (Conspiracy)

submitted ago by Dickface455

I've been noticing this a lot lately, this seems a fairly recent development, a lot of mainstream media sites, including regional newspapers no longer allow comments. I'm assuming this is to suppress support for Trump or other alternative viewpoints since they don't want people challenging their narratives? Just curious what others think

Its weird, cause I always felt like having a comment section bennifited the site, as it allowed them to astroturf the discussion. Maybe they just realized how transparent those shills can be.

Either way, its no loss imo. Nothing productive ever comes from thoose comment sections. They actually manage to make youtube look good...
