According to HuffPost, anonymity is a huge factor that can motivate users to engage with content online. If nobody is going to know who you are or what comments you’ve posted, there’s no stress involved. On the other hand, if people will know that you’ve been active in the comments section, you might not want to participate. According to a survey from Livefyre, 78% of respondents noted that they would not be willing to comment on blogs or articles if they were required to use their real identity to do so.
Gender also plays a role in how willing we are to contribute to the comments section. According to Huffpost, a study from Sydney University found that nearly 80% of commenters on certain social media sites are men. However, women prefer commenting as themselves, while men prefer to be anonymous. And one of the main reasons why readers and viewers like to contribute to conversations is to reply with their own similar experiences or thoughts on the issue at hand.
