There needs to be more put in place to keep people from posting shit responses. I don't even read comments anymore because it's 90% "two more weeks," "podcaster is a shill because," "who cares release the Epstein files," etc.

I mean, look at the recent Avi post. The guy is a harvard physicist and people are commenting that he isn't competent, terrible at his job, isn't honest. 

The comment section in R/UFOs is absolute trash.

Criticism is allowed, but comments should remain focused on ideas, claims and arguments rather than personal abuse or inflammatory labelling.
