Why do Trolls do their trolling?

its like children poking the an anthill or torturing small animals. but in a digital way. poking a digital bear and just see how they react ... provoke people into doing something stupid and watch them do damage 🤮

kind of long distance digital ding-dong-ditch

Their mothers didn't like them much.

They prioritize fun over anything else. Society loves conflict. It's kinda psychological. We want conflict in the mediums we watch and read, long for it from our heroes towards the villains, and are honestly bored without some level of conflict in most things. Even in the things that we do, it must be challenging to a specific degree to derive long term enjoyment. Also, there's an extra level of euphoria that comes in pulling the trigger ourselves. Now we are no longer watching conflict, we are in it!

TLDR: People just want a high and this gets them that high.

because they're a bunch insignificant nobodies seeking acknowledgement, even if that attention is through the annoyance of others...

Cause their weird little liberal butts want attention and they fear actually having to be held accountable for their words and actions.

Because of the anonymity, most of them would not say 'boo to a goose' in real life.

Id say that they probably hurt inside in some way.

Some trolls are paid to be so nasty, their job is to widen the divide within the US. Sounds paranoid, but I see it all the time. People who’s profile is not a “personal” page. These pros have many of these profiles & will actually argue back & forth with his/her own profile just to throw out bad vibes. Their goal is to get people who are ordinarily docile riled up so much that they develop combative attitude towards others. Divide & conquer at wholesale prices.

they love getting a reaction and upset people

Life didn’t go their way
They want to feel superior in a place they can control in a illusion way
They are childish
So many factors

Some are just as awkward online as in real life and don’t realize they’re trolling.

Both.

Not nice when they're being nasty and bullying.

I think some are pretty funny tho.

It's usually idle people who feel very lonely.

They have no life, are sad and low life.

Mental health issues...

I am new but what is a troll?

Both!

Alas...

Yes and yes

Probably both.

Old skool trolls or the modern ones?
The former were just pranksters who made jokes and were harmless. The modern ones are little shitstains.

Both?

Some are going for a negative reaction. Others are trying to make people laugh.
