a study has been released about internet trolls and the study says that internet
trolls are narcissistic
psychopathic and sadistic we have we have a a lot of trolls
on our YouTube website on our Facebook page
on our Twitter feed people who email us mean looking hatred now
for example and there's a new psychology paper based on research conducted by
Aaron buckles have the University of Manitoba
and to have her colleagues and it directly investigate whether people who
engage in online trolling are characterized by personality traits
that ball into the so-called dark tetrapod machiavellian -ism narcissism
psychopathy and sadism now machiavellian islam is the willingness to manipulate
and deceive
others narcissism is typically described as egotism and self obsession
psychopathy is known as the lack of remorse and
empathy and sadism is finding pleasure in the suffering a
others this study found correlations sometimes quite significant between
these traits and trolling behavior
what's more it also found a relationship between these traits
all except for narcissism and the
overall time that an individual spends per day
commenting on stuff on the internet this really answers the question
why do people who really hate what we do
and what we say hat wire they constantly leaving comments
on our YouTube page and I think this study very
very tightly wrapped it up yeah
it's fascinating be internet has really provided
at the only outlet for this type of behavior
I this type of thing just didn't exist before the internet because what would
be people going to do i mean write letters
and who was gonna see them well now everyone can see them in they can just
post at will all day and it's the
it's unfortunate but I'm so glad we have the internet of course
I'm I'm I've always felt somewhat sad kinda when I see the same names popping
up trolling all over YouTube videos which we just ignore
because woohoo who I I don't really know anybody personally
who has the time to do this type of stuff because they have so much going on
you can't be
trolling every single YouTube video that we put up so might might tendency is
always been to feel bad
however over the weekend we're going to release a YouTube only video which is
going to ask our audience on YouTube
should we ban our regular YouTube trolls and it'll be up to the audience what we
decide to do
