   It's hilarious how news articles these days quote random replies on social   
   media as if they're in any way significant or meaningful.   
      
   "One commenter wrote..."   
   "Another user posted..."   
   "Someone else said..."   
      
   These people don't even have names, there's no indication of who they are,   
   what expertise they have with regard to critiquing film, what they do for a   
   living, etc. Just "someone said..." Why should I as the reader of the article   
   give a tin shit what any of these people said or how they feel?
