Many parts of the internet. I won't pretend there were never trolls (Usenet, BBS's, etc. all had them), but things have definitely shifted. A minority of people have essentially weaponized various things in this system as well.

It used to be "don't feed the trolls." Now the biggest trolls are monetized.
