The blokes who write "who?" and "I dont care" in the comments under articles about famous people getting married are strange ones aint they.

It's particularly disingenuous when it's not some rando off a reality show or a voice actor from a cartoon but one of the most famous women in the world

Yeah, like no-one is saying you should know a ton about Taylor Swift or Kim Kardashian or Serena Williams or whoever, but it's performative bullshit to pretend they're such unimportant nobodies that you, the smartest man alive, have never heard of them

Sometimes, the answer is in the headline they're commenting on! I recently saw someone say "who?" under a headline that started with "Former Superman actor..."

Also ones who reply 'never heard of them' to posts about bands or singers by entertainment related sites. Have you not heard of them mate? Thanks for letting us know. Also good are 'not funny' posts under news items about 200 date UK tours by successful household name comedians.

And yet they go mad when you do the same under articles about their favourite football man!

You'd imagine if they didn't care, they wouldn't engage at all & just scroll on by..... like regular folk.

I file them next to people who say "uh, the article is paywalled" under posts about it. I suspect they may have heard of ways to get around it at this point.

I liked them because someone nice usually shares the non paywalled link after they say that

I love the non-paywalled sharers! I would definitely be up for micropayment systems that let me choose to pay 10c to legally read an article I've clicked on though. Like I preferred being able to buy individual songs on Google Play Music instead of 🏴‍☠️ them

It is strange, yeah. Is it any more strange than writing or sharing articles about other people’s love lives?
