It should be noted that the researcher only looked at negative comments and did not evaluate any positive comments occurring in the same thread. The researcher should have used an NLP model that weights the balance of comments on an article into a sentiment score.

"Also, the analysis focused solely on negative comments and that is the reason why no positive themes were mentioned in the paper."
