comment section

Online reply zone

The comment section is the area below online articles, videos, or social media posts where users can leave responses.

Comment sections range from thoughtful discussion to chaotic arguments, spam, and trolling—notorious enough that never read the comments has become common advice.

Some sites disable comment sections entirely to avoid moderation headaches.
