>So more comments are "destructive" than constructive.

Tell me about it! It’s gotten so bad that many times I would respond to someone’s comment to expand on what they’re saying or provide context for readers who might not have it and they will reply back to me with something like “I already know this. That’s what I was talking about.”

I know that’s what you were talking about! I’m just further reinforcing what you were trying to say! I think I probably fall into this sometimes myself. Online comments are just so reflexively argumentative sometimes it's hard to switch gears into discussing things.
