New technologies make it easier to spread comments.
A comment is an opinion , opinion , judgment or consideration that someone makes about another person or something. This mention can be developed orally or in writing.
For example: "When judging another person's work, destructive comments are never welcome" , "The coach promised to explain the reason for his decision but clarified that he will not accept any type of comment from those present" , "The singer's comment outraged the public."
An interaction
The comment implies a response or an interaction with what was raised. Thanks to the Internet , readers, listeners or viewers can very easily make comments and express their opinions on websites and blogs.
In this way, it is common for there to be a back-and-forth, known as feedback , between content producers and recipients: "The article I published yesterday on my blog has already received fourteen comments," "The moderator of the digital newspaper has deleted several offensive comments » , «People are furious: read the comments they left after the national team match» .
Violence and disrespect in the comments
Comments on the Internet are usually moderated to avoid insults and forced publicity. The person in charge of this task is known as a moderator, although there are also programs that do it automatically. This does not mean, on the other hand, that the filters are 100% effective; In fact, various virtual publications suffer from junk comments , which dirty the content of their articles and make it difficult to enrich their readers.
In principle, the possibility of commenting on a text, a song or a video, among other types of content , carries a responsibility, since the opinion becomes part of the product, is associated with it in search engines, is read by millions of people of different ages, from different backgrounds, and it is important to avoid offenses and lack of respect and consideration towards others.
Just as no one should destroy a mailbox or a light post on a public street, behavior in a space of opinion should be moderated by each individual, without the need for reprimands or filters. It is important to remember that none of the most consulted websites charge their users for leaving comments: dozens of newspapers, YouTube, technology magazines, international virtual stores, all allow their clients to express themselves freely.
When making a comment, you usually look for a response or establish an interaction.
Egocentrism when giving opinions
An unfortunate phenomenon that is noticed in a comments section is a marked egocentrism that leads many people to write extensive and bombastic texts, closer to an essay than to a mere evaluation. These are not constructive criticisms, but rather destructive comments, which attempt to reveal all the shortcomings of the work on which they give their opinion, providing new data in a forced and pretentious manner.
The famous British comic actor Ricky Gervais has denounced the high degree of egocentrism that takes place on social networks, especially on Twitter, pointing out that the majority of its users believe that all the comments are directed towards them, and that is why they get angry if someone doesn't think like them; Furthermore, he compared this attitude to that of a person who argues with a poster for showing an idea that he does not share.
Comment as an explanation and use of the term in an expression
A commentary, on the other hand, is the explanation of a text to facilitate its understanding . In this way, the reader can simply understand the meaning of the work in question.
The expression "no comments" , finally, is used as an abrupt closure to define or settle the issue being talked about: "The president of the company announced that there will be a salary cut even though the company has increased its profits. No comments » . Likewise, it is a phrase that any person accused of a crime can use when giving a statement .
