[okfn-br] Fora de tópico(?): lendo os comentários na Internet

[Everton Zanella Alvarenga]

Um livro agora que parece ser bastante interessante que indicaram agora
pouco, útil principamente para aqueles aqui que passam um bom tempo
navegando da Internet (muitos aqui que acompanha as ativiades da OKBR) e às
vezes, talvez por um lapso, podem ser um pouco incautos (até mesmo os mais
experientes!) com comentários de Internet, boatos e falácias das mais
facilmente refutáveis - que não percebemos talvez no afã da emoção.
Reading the Comments,
<https://mitpress.mit.edu/index.php?q=books%2Freading-comments> By Joseph
M. Reagle, Jr. <https://mitpress.mit.edu/authors/joseph-m-reagle-jr>


* Likers, Haters, and Manipulators at the Bottom of the Web*

Online comment can be informative or misleading, entertaining or
maddening. *Haters
and manipulators often seem to monopolize the conversation*. Some comments
are off-topic, or even topic-less. In this book, Joseph Reagle urges us to
read the comments. Conversations “on the bottom half of the Internet,” he
argues, can tell us much *about human nature and social behavior*.

Reagle visits communities of Amazon reviewers, fan fiction authors, online
learners, scammers, freethinkers, and mean kids. He shows how comment can
inform us (through reviews), improve us (through feedback), manipulate us
(through fakery), alienate us (through hate), shape us (through social
comparison), and perplex us. He finds pre-Internet historical antecedents
of online comment in Michelin stars, professional criticism, and the wisdom
of crowds. He discusses the techniques of online fakery (distinguishing
makers, fakers, and takers), describes the emotional work of receiving and
giving feedback, and examines the culture of trolls and haters, bullying,
and misogyny. He considers the way comment—a nonstop stream of social
quantification and ranking—affects our self-esteem and well-being. And he
examines how comment is puzzling—short and asynchronous, these messages can
be slap-dash, confusing, amusing, revealing, and weird, shedding context in
their passage through the Internet, prompting readers to comment in turn,
“WTF?!?”
