Popular Science has an evidence-based reason for shutting down its comment section

Trolls have a huge sense of entitlement that not only they should be allowed to have their own opinions but that anyone who doesn’t actively enable every single bozo to rub their buttholes on their carpet is a monstrous Orwellian censor.

Unmoderated comment threads are not a healthy environment for discourse or proper debate. If you can’t keep your pool sanitary, you shouldn’t open it to the public. Popular Science didn’t need a study to back this decision up; it’s just common sense.
