Nate will no longer have comments on their entertainment articles beginning July 7th

I want to be hopeful that this will bring good, but I now worry about whether these commentators are going to more infiltrate other existing user-interactive spaces, such as Twitter. I fear their increased presence as a result of this closure is going to make spaces more unusable than it already is.

It is true though that NB is predominately a cesspool of hatred; a churning cycle of relentlessness. I'd even go as far as to argue that their 'posts', along with their manipulative selection of (negative) comments from Naver and Nate respectively, have increased the duration and extent of the psychological damage for their readers and targetted celebrities. Besides, they do not provide value or food for thought. The fact this has carried on for years is concerning. I still do believe that the presence of sites like NB should be minimised and not be actively promoted.

But that seems hard to do, even here…
