Reconsidering Comment Sections - Sammy Jones Friday Lunchtime Talk

This event is hosted by Pervasive Media studio for free on the Watershed YouTube Channel.

Do you ever leave comments on the stuff you watch, read and listen to? If not, you’re in good company. Hardly any of us reach the bottom of the pages we’re reading, let alone leave comments on what we consume. Publishers don’t like comment sections either: they chomp up staff time and mess with content creator mental health.

Sammy Jones is reconsidering comment sections as part of Bristol and Bath Creative R&D. She’s a New Talent Fellow who thinks comment sections could be a positive opportunity for audiences and makers, not just a pain in the neck. Join us to find out where her research has got to so far, and bring any comments of your own.
