I really try my hardest to avoid comment sections on websites. The trolls just pull me in. I am proud to say that I have never engaged in an internet comment argument.

Online comments are a complete disaster. Nobody has any skin in the game. There's nothing to lose from being a jerk. I actually wrote an essay about this, and how to fix it, a few months ago. https://decentralize.today/social-media-is-broken-bitcoin-to-the-rescue-fdcff380ec10

I'm right in the middle of this one! I like reading comments to see public opinion and conversation, but HATE trolls and winnerless arguments. Conversation = good, screaming your opinion with no intention of learning = bad.
