Just an interesting comparison of comments on Facebook advertising – I received one from the National candidate for Mt Roskill, with a petition attached to sign with regards to banning window washers at traffic lights. Out of 30 or so comments there only 1 agreeing with this idea. Most comments were: ‘aren’t there bigger issues to tackle?’
In comparison a Greens Facebook petition on cleaning up New Zealand waterways had the majority from a 100 or so comments being positive with 7 or so negative.
Although there will always be trolls, comments are good way to gauge a mood for something.
