I discovered a new artist that I LOVE. Her name is Maphra. She is a vocalist who has posted a few covers on YouTube.

Maphra’s cover of Bring Me To The Horizon’s Doom popped on my feed so I casually gave it a listen only to be stunned by her voice. She has a haunting angelic-ness with amazing screaming.

The song is great, she is great, but that isn’t quite what I wanted to share here.

With all viral videos come comments. While a lot of comments are great and supportive I couldn’t help but notice the “hater” ones.

Sprinkled throughout is a few comments that just seem to come from a place of “Wow I hate that everyone else liked this, so now I’m going to shit on it a little”

Its not to say that you can’t be critical of an online video or have a negative opinion, but this drive by hateful Internet commentary kinda just pisses me off sometimes.

The kind of people that behave this way are never content creators themselves.

There is so much content available and our dopamine receptors are so fucked at this point we can’t recognize and appreciate normal everyday talent.
