I remember when trolling was a fine art and required skill. Now it's just about being as big a dick to people and being able to get away with it.

I don't know I've suffered a few but very hurtful trolls during my stay online, behind the screens there are people who can be affected and it's true that people behind the screen sometimes lose this empathy towards others.
That's what I mean, now a days it's just about being mean. In the "good old days" of the internet it was more about being witty and clever. The bar on what qualifies as "trolling" has dropped all the way to the floor. Sorry you've had bad experiences though 😕
Aw no worries, I have a theory that the trolls may be our biggest fans (antifans) ever. But yes sometimes they go a bit beyond what is comfortable, we are all exposed to critic once we are online but there are other levels of harassments (or threats) that are simply not fun from people hiding behind a screen, some simply because you cannot devote more attention to people who are clearly a fan seeking attention but a bit "off balance" LOL. During these many years it's been only a few cases so it doesn't take me from being open and friendly with most everyone. But once I had to tell a concert organizator to ban certain ticket sales just in case :/
