From seeking validation to being drawn to the loudest or most controversial voices, what makes certain comments stand out and how much weight should we really give them?

On Is It Just Me?, producer Alexandra Parada unpacks why we’re drawn to online comments, how they can shape our perceptions and decisions, and how to avoid getting caught up in the noise. Featuring insights from Subhayan Mukerjee, Assistant Professor at the Department of Communications and New Media and Deputy Director at the Centre for Computational Social Science and Humanities, National University of Singapore.
