0067: How To Really Stick It To Online Trolls

Hey there, hero!For as supportive a community that we as actors and voice talent often have in person, online communities can be filled with trolls.They are arrogant, opinionated, insulting, and love to provoke normal, law-abiding citizens.(Been to a Facebook audiobook narrator group lately?)I've often wondered what the best way is to deal with these fools, and have also been listening lately to a podcast from Stanford Professor of Neurobiology and Ophthalmology Dr. Andrew Huberman...who just happened to give me this:Understand “reward prediction error” & you will never reply to a negative comment again. Negative comments open a dopamine anticipation loop (in the commenter). Respond and the circuit closes; they get rewarded. Don’t respond & their dopamine will eventually drop below baseline.https://twitter.com/hubermanlabApparently, "don't feed the trolls" is actually a thing.How do you feel when you get trolled? What do you usually do about it? Respond? How? And what will you do now? Let me know in the comments below.REQUEST: Please join this video's conversation on VOHeroes, where the comments are moderated and civil: https://voheroes.com/how-to-really-stick-it-to-online-trolls/#acting #voice #voiceover #onboarding #performance #productivity #tips #art #commerce #science #mindset #success #process #options #bestpractices #marketingWant to be a better VO talent, actor or author?
